Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is seeking vendors to collect, transport, and legally dispose (or donate) surplus anadromous fish carcasses from three state‑operated hatcheries. Bidders may submit separate bids for any one, two, or all three hatcheries, with the contract awarded to the lowest responsive bidder for each site. The work requires a fleet capable of handling up to 40,000 lb of carcasses per day per hatchery, provision of specific 49″ × 41″ × 29″ bins, compliance with all DOT, hazardous‑waste, and environmental regulations, and optional food‑bank donation with an HACCP plan. The contract term runs from September 1 2026 through June 30 2029.
• Collect and move fish carcasses (≈ 3,000‑40,000 lb per pickup) Monday‑Friday as spawning schedules dictate.
• Provide required bins and maintain dedicated vehicles/trailers for each hatchery, with capacity for peak loads.
• Secure and document disposal agreements (incineration, burial, rendering) and optionally manage food‑bank donations with proper food‑safety certifications.
