This document is a Bid Amendment for the Lake Michigan Boat and Trailer procurement by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA), specifically addressing technical specifications for the solicitation. The amendment provides clarification on two key elements: trailer width, which references the Illinois Vehicle Code (625 ILCS 5/15-102), and rear deck crane specifications, which require a 500-pound capacity electronic winch with 150-200 feet of braided nylon line, mounted to the boat's sidewall with swivel capability.

The bid amendment supplements the original solicitation, which seeks a 24-26 foot pilothouse boat for water quality monitoring along Illinois' Lake Michigan shoreline. While no new pricing or fundamental procurement terms are introduced in this amendment, it offers critical technical details that potential bidders can use to ensure their proposed vessel and trailer meet the agency's precise operational requirements. The amendment reinforces the procurement's focus on detailed specifications, suggesting that compliance with exact technical parameters will be crucial for bid responsiveness and potential award.
