Specifications include, but are not limited to: Proposals shall provide a system that will incorporate oxygen into the oxygenpoor/oxygen-deprived portions of Lake Pocotopaug or will by other similar means maintain lake water quality at a Mesotrophic or better state as reasonably determined by standard measurement of Phosphorous, Nitrogen and water clarity. Additionally, success will be determined by measurement of cyanobacteria in the lake resulting in no required lake closures. Measurements and testing will be performed by the Town of East Hampton at its convenience and expense. 3. All installation equipment, including trailers and boats should be thoroughly steam washed immediately prior to entering Lake Pocotopaug to reduce the spread of exotic species. Failure to do so will result in re-scheduling of the system installation process when washing of equipment is possible. 4. Town of East Hampton reserves the right to determine if climatic conditions are appropriate for proper installation of the system. In addition, the contractor(s) is/are required to coordinate with Town staff, consultants and the Conservation Lake Commission for a preliminary reconnaissance survey immediately prior to installation of the system. 5. If proposed and accepted, only non-pathogenic strains of microbes may be used for a bioaugmentation component and the specific name and details of the product and the proposed doses to be used must be disclosed at the time of proposal. Successful respondent will be required to assist the Town in receiving State of Connecticut permission and permits if bioaugmentation is to be used.
