ARD#C031-2020/21 - Repair and maintenance services for LANDA ECOS 7000 10 decontamination units

Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development’s Watercraft Inspection Program has been operating for 17 years. The purpose of this program is to inspect watercraft and water related equipment for Zebra Mussels and other Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS). The objectives of this program are to limit the spread of AIS within the province and prevent the introduction of AIS into the province. Over the last 3 years, the province has acquired several decontamination units to support this effort. These decontamination units operate using hot water and high pressure to kill and remove AIS from watercraft and water related equipment. The province operates several LANDA ECOS 7000 decontamination units. The LANDA ECOS 7000 is a trailered, mobile wash and reclamation system that recovers, filters, and recycles the dirty water from the pressure washer. The trailer contains a burner to heat the water, a generator to fuel the pressure washer, and a vacuum and reclaim pump to collect water from the mat and recycle it back into the tanks. The province also operates a Hotsy pressure washer, which contains a burner and generator but does not have a reclamation system.
