Description
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting quotes for the provision of two 3,000-gallon single-axle semi-trailers for live fish transportation. The trailers must be capable of maintaining water temperature within ±3 degrees F of the target value and ensuring optimal water quality to minimize physiological stress and prevent mortality. The vendor must demonstrate previous experience in producing live fish trailers of similar size and capacity. The trailers will be used for the transportation of juvenile and adult fish species in the Sacramento River watershed and surrounding areas.
Key features of the trailers include:
• Aeration, oxygenation, and temperature control systems
• Capacity for 3,000 gallons of water
• Single-axle semi-trailer design
• Ability to maintain water temperature within ±3 degrees F of the target value
• Ability to ensure optimal water quality to minimize physiological stress and prevent mortality
