Install Two (2) Fish Waste Tanks at the Little Traverse Bay Bands Hatchery For questions regarding bidding procedure or submittals, contact Mandy Szocinski by email at mszocinski@ltbbodawa-nsn.gov or by phone at 231-242-1439. Any questions regarding the bid process may be directed to Mandy Szocinski, at 231-242-1439 The Little Traverse Bay Bands (LTBB) Fisheries Enhancement Facility (LTBB Hatchery) is located at 4100 Giigoohns Miikaan Ave., Levering, Michigan 49755. The LTBB Hatchery was completed in 2013 and included a Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS). The Hatchery's Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) is mostly installed; however, a waste management component has not. A waste management component will allow the collection of waste from the drum screen. The design of the system uses a dual septic tank system to collect the "sludge" from the drum screen, thus removing fine particles before sending the effluent (sewage) to the settling pond. This process ensures that the water quality of the hatchery effluent is not negatively impacting the surrounding watershed. This project will allow LTBB to purchase and install two septic tanks that will receive the effluent from the recirculating aquaculture system drum screen. The result of this project will be effluent at a better water quality, not negatively affecting the surrounding watershed. Specifically, we are looking to install 2x, 500-gallon septic tanks along the pipe leaving the drum screen. The overflow for the tanks will be put inline with the current outflow to the settling pond LTBB may determine that the rejection of all bids is in the best interest of LTBB. LTBB will not pay for any information herein requested, nor is it liable for any costs incurred by the bidder.
