Request for Tender

Description:

The sucessful tenderer will supervise all transfers of SBT from tow cages to farm cages. This currently involves attendance at each transfer and recording of all fish transferred on videotape. This will require the use of appropriate vessel(s) to reach the tow cages and farm cages, which may be located up to 30 nautical miles offshore from Port Lincoln. It also involves sampling a minimum of forty fish from each towing pontoon to determine average weight for the purposes of decrementing quota.

AFMA is required to evaluate for each season, the mechanisms that have been put in place to monitor fishing catch against granted statutory fishing rights and Australia's national SBT catch allocation for that season. AFMA is then required to implement any required changes for the following season and, as necessary, revise the range, extent and cost of those services.

Other Instructions:

Further details, including the RFT documentation are available on AFMA's website at http://www.afma.gov.au/about/career/tenders.htm

Conditions for Participation:

Summary of requirements:

(a) Attendance at and observation of transfers and other monitoring activities and capture and measurement of stereo video imagery;

(b) Reporting;

Note that a single transfer may take up to 12 hours to complete.
