Annual service must be done when the program requiring the service requests it, with the allocation of resources spaced out so that critical program operations will not be affected. 1.3 Requirement: FRAM requires motion compensated while completing its mission of assessing fish populations and commercial fisheries by-catch on the west coast of the United States of America. Current equipment is being used intensely and will require regular service to prevent costly repairs, or is broken and in need of repair. 1.4 Location of scales. 175 Scales are stored in, or tracked from, Newport, Oregon. Up to 120 scales will be deployed with observers along the West Coast, year round. 18 Scales are located in Seattle, WA.

The Fisheries Resource and Monitoring Division (FRAM) of the NWFSC is charged with conducting research and scientific analysis on the groundfish fisheries within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) off the coast of Washington, Oregon and California. Ecological and oceanographic information obtained from harvests from federally observed commercial fishing vessels will aid in the development and monitoring within ecosystem based management guidelines. 3.0 General: 3.1 The Fishery Resource Analysis and Monitoring (FRAM) Division of the NW Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, annually provides stock assessment managers and researchers with data concerning the abundance, distribution and health of West Coast Fisheries stocks. The FRAM division of the NWFSC currently has 193 Marel M1100 scales and deploys each to complete its charge; assessment of west coast fish populations which are in turn used to set guidelines for commercial and recreational harvests and manage individual quotas for IFQ species. 18 Marel 1100 scales are owned by teams-observer, survey, and acoustics within FRAM, consistency between projects is paramount. Scales are interchangeable on different projects. 175 Marel 1100 scales are owned by the West Coast Groundfish Observer Program within FRAM and utilized to collect fisheries dependent data. Consistency of data collection and immediate replacement of faulty equipment is essential to the task. The Marel M1100 Marel Food Systems scale was chosen because it is internally powered by over the counter D-cell (3.0 volts DC) batteries and outputs RS 232 data directly to a computer if needed. The Marel M1100 scale was chosen because it is portable and robust, and built specifically for rolling boats and harsh salt water conditions. 4.0 Technical Specifications: 4.1 FRAM is requesting 138 M1100 scales be serviced on a per need basis as follows: 1.
