Description

New Jersey is soliciting a contractor to provide an ocean research vessel and crew for bottom trawl surveys of coastal waters. The work will assess the distribution, relative abundance, and size composition of fish and invertebrate resources through five surveys per year over a five-year contract period, with each survey requiring approximately six consecutive sampling days. The vessel must meet specified operational and equipment requirements, including a draft under 12 feet, a trawling speed of 3 knots, trawl winches, net reel, gallows frames, GPS, bottom depth sounder, and sufficient deck space for catch sorting and measurement. The contractor must provide a master and first mate with at least 10 years of commercial trawling experience; the State will provide specified trawl gear and reimburse fuel costs and repairs or maintenance of State-owned equipment. The opportunity is a rebid and includes a small-business subcontracting set-aside. Quotes must be submitted electronically through NJSTART, and bidders should provide substantial vessel information for technical evaluation and possible pre-award vessel inspection. The amendment confirms that hard-copy quotes are not accepted and that bidders must maintain access to their NJSTART vendor profile to submit a response.
