About this file
This technical specifications document outlines the detailed requirements for an aluminum-built airboat to be procured by the City of Tampa, Florida for its Marine Unit. The City seeks a custom airboat with a minimum 16' x 8' hull constructed from 3/16-inch marine-grade 5086 aluminum with all-welded construction, powered by a Pleasurecraft 7.4 LSX marine engine rated at 525 horsepower and 550 torque. The vessel must include a 50-gallon low-profile fuel tank, dual marine batteries, cable steering with a 4-foot aluminum rudder, and a stainless steel superstructure with a partial deck-over design. The airboat specifications include comprehensive navigation and communication equipment such as a Garmin GPS Map 743xsv with fish finder and chart plotter, Garmin VHF radio, Sonetics intercom system, Harris police radio mounting capability, and emergency lighting systems including a 40-inch white lightbar, 24-inch blue/white emergency light bar, and eight 4-inch LED emergency lights in multiple configurations. Seating requirements include operator seating with storage, middle-row triple passenger seating, and removable front-row double seating, all with custom seat covers. The procurement requires delivery of the airboat with a matching tandem-axle aluminum trailer equipped with LED submersible lighting, heavy-duty tongue jack, bow stop, and winch system.
The vessel must be painted dark blue with Tampa Police Department badge decals and Marine Unit insignia on the rudders, with the hull interior and gunwale tops treated with black Rhino Lining non-skid coating. The City has established a departmental budget of $127,772.00 for this procurement, with pricing to be determined by bidders' line-item pricing for specific components. The solicitation emphasizes strong participation from Women/Minority Business Enterprises (WMBE) and Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBE), requiring bidders to complete DMI Forms 10 and 20 documenting all subcontractors solicited and utilized, and provide evidence of good faith outreach efforts. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the City reserving the right to award by division or aggregate total. The contract term includes an initial one-year award period with options for two additional one-year renewal periods.
