Crimond Enterprises Limited (formely Nordsea Limited) manufactured the Nordsea 400x40cm midwater trawl in 1998 for the annual 4T southern Gulf herring survey. At the time, it was a joint purchase with the Maurice Lamontagne Institute in Quebec as we were using the same vessel. Starting in 2013, we changed vessels for the Gulf based M. Perley. It resulted in conflicts in the trawl sharing with MLI due to overlap of their use and ours and the loss of our survey time of one week in 2013. The Gulf Region Science Branch thus requests this specific midwater trawl to be used on the Gulf based vessel to fulfill our primary mandate of assessing the herring stocks in the southern Gulf.
The 400x40cm midwater trawl must be built with the same specifications and materials as the original trawl used since 1998. This is very important as this trawl is considered as the standard scientific sampling gear for our herring research and assessment program. It is crucial to keep the same gear design (i.e.: dimensions, material, rigging, geometry) to be able to do inter-annual comparisons and assure continuity and accuracy in the time series of data which is used as in index of abundance for 4T herring stock assessments.
Acquiring a trawl from another manufacturer would require additional inspections during and after the construction of the trawl and could result in delays, and increase the risk of acquiring a trawl of slightly different dimensions than the one that has been used since 1998, and thus could entail extensive sea trials and gear comparisons to verify and compare the catchability of the two trawls to assure continuity and accuracy in the data series. Any delays in the delivery of the trawl, additional verifications during the construction and additional tests for comparability with our standard trawl would result in an substantial increase in cost for DFO and the risk of impacting the field work (sampling) significantly.
This requirement is subject to the NAFTA/AIT/Columbia/Peru trade agreements. Limited Tendering Provisions is in accordance with the Trade Agreements, Articles 506.12 (b) of AIT, Articles 1016.2 (d) of NAFTA, and Columbia/Peru Trade Agreements contain similar limited tendering provisions to those in the NAFTA.
The total estimated value of the contract is $32,365.00
