The object of this sole source award to MIDWEST LAKE MANAGEMENT, INC. The Midwest Lake Electrofishing Systems (MLES) boat and electrofishing Infinity Control System, provides the high-capacity output, up to 80 amps, necessary to target and reliably capture grass carp. Currently there are two know vendors with this product, MLES and Smith-Root. The Green Bay Fish & Wildlife Conservation Office, Aquatic Invasive Species electrofishing fleet is outfitted with MLES equipment. We have three Infinity Control Systems on hand and two more within the contracting process; it would be economically beneficial to be consistent and purchase from MLES as their parts are interchangeable. While the Smith-Root electrofishing boat may be of same quality, it is more expensive, and the parts are not interchangeable with the boats in our current fleet.
