The document specifies deployment in Upper Klamath Lake. It also notes that specifications for Gerber Reservoir are identical but will involve unique labor and costs due to increased travel and shipping distance.

Net pens must withstand freezing in the lake up to 10" and impacts from ice chunks up to 10" deep. The document also specifies materials and dimensions for all components, including netting, framing, anchors, and wave attenuators.

Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

To establish requirements for net pen systems for rearing and acclimating endangered Lost River and Shortnose Suckers in the Upper Klamath Basin, aiming to improve post-stocking survival rates.

This SOW details the specifications for two sets of net pen systems, one for Upper Klamath Lake and one for Gerber Reservoir. Key components include:

• Fish Pen Frame: 120'x25' with dual HDPE pontoons, walkways, non-treated lumber, fiberglass decking, and a removable rail system.
• Fish Net Package: Specific dimensions (25'x59'x15') with polyester netting, framing lines, chain perimeter, and bird netting.
• Anchor Package: Includes concrete block anchors, galvanized anchor chain, crown line floats, chain-through buoys, shackles, and reflective tape.
• Wave Attenuator Package: HDPE pipe with a rubber skirt to mitigate wave action.
• Installation Package: Covers mobilization/demobilization, crew, equipment (forklift, boat/barge), and assembly of pen and anchor systems.
• Shipping and Handling: Requires three 48' flatbeds per pen.

The specifications for the Gerber Reservoir net pens are identical to Upper Klamath Lake, with the understanding that increased travel and shipping distances to this remote location may affect labor and costs.

Not explicitly detailed in this document, but the overall goal is to provide rearing space that leads to higher post-stocking survival and greater persistence of individuals.

Two locations are specified: Upper Klamath Lake and Gerber Reservoir.

• Net pens must withstand freezing up to 10" and impacts from ice chunks up to 10" deep.
• Materials specified include HDPE, non-treated Doug fir (or equivalent), fiberglass, polyester, and polyethylene.
• Installation requires a 4-man crew and specific equipment.
• The Gerber Reservoir installation will likely incur unique labor and costs due to its remote location.
