Bulletin (1).pdf

This is Bulletin Number 1, a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ 684-SH) issued by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for Vessel Removal and Disposal Services. The Department seeks qualified vendors to enter into a Master Agreement to provide as-needed vessel removal and disposal services for County waterways, with vessels typically located at the Department's Marina del Rey Sheriff's Station at 13851 Fiji Way, Marina del Rey, California 90292. The Department removes approximately thirty vessels annually that are abandoned or present health and safety hazards, with typical vessel lengths ranging from twenty to thirty feet, though other sizes may be encountered. Services required include proper and legal removal of vessels in varying states of disrepair and seaworthiness, along with temporary storage and disposal. Qualified vendors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience in hauling or removing both power and sail vessels from waterways and providing short-term or temporary storage services.

The specific pricing terms, set-aside provisions, contract duration, and renewal options are not detailed in this introductory bulletin. The Department's authority for these vessel removal and disposal activities derives from California Harbors and Navigation Code sections 510 through 527 and Los Angeles County Code section 19.12.1070. Complete RFSQ documents and future bulletins are available at the Sheriff Department's website at http://shq.lasdnews.net/shq/contracts/info.html, with detailed requirements outlined in Attachment 1 (Statement of Work).
