Description
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking a contractor to dredge two earthen fish waste settling ponds and one earthen total flow sedimentation pond at the Sawtooth Fish Hatchery in Idaho. The contractor will be responsible for proper disposal of all waste from the project site and will be required to obtain all necessary permits. The contractor will also need to provide a written sludge material disposal plan and a stormwater and erosion control plan. The project is expected to last 90 days, and the contractor will need to coordinate with the hatchery staff on specific dates of dredging due to the sensitivity of the fish trapping process.
• The contractor will need to have expertise in excavation and be able to demonstrate their technical capabilities and past experience.
• The contractor will need to provide a written proposal, including a narrative explaining how the work will be carried out, and provide three examples of successful, timely completion of similar work.
• The contractor will need to comply with all federal and state regulations, including environmental regulations and labor laws.
• The contractor will need to have a foreman on site when work is being performed and will need to mark off work areas with warning signs or barriers to preclude entry by hatchery visitors or other unauthorized individuals.
