Description of Requirements:
The Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge is seeking to purchase two snow machines, Ski Doo Expedition LE or Equivalent, to support a lynx capture operation at remote cabin sites in interior Alaska. The following specifications and extras are required to allow safe travel through both deep snow and heavy brush and timber areas. We pull heavy sleds and haul heavy gear on cargo racks and require the ability to ride double when needed.

Due to the remote location of use, we require machines with good fuel economy (due to the hardship/high cost of delivering fuel). We operate in temperatures -30 degrees Fahrenheit and colder and require block heaters. We operate in all snow conditions and a wide range of weather conditions between January and April.
