About this file
This document is an addendum to an Invitation for Bid (IFB 23-078/MR) for Airboats for the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. The addendum provides clarification on several items in the original bid specifications, including the requirements for the bow eyes, cage lighting, wheel size, and the use of a turnbuckle attachment point. The bid is due by 11:00 AM CT on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, and will be publicly opened and read aloud at the Jefferson County Engineering Department Conference Room. The addendum also confirms that a bid bond is not required for this project, and that a subcontractor who is an authorized dealer can be used to deliver the airboats.
The related state and local contract opportunity indicates that this is an open competitive procurement process for Jefferson County, Texas. The county is seeking bids for the provision of airboats for the Sheriff's Office, and encourages participation from Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), Minority/Women Business Enterprises (M/WBEs), and Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs). The contract duration and any renewal options are not specified in the information provided.

1. Question: Item 1: 2 heavy duty bow eyes. **top eye constructed for trailer tow; bottom constructed for securing to trailer** TYPICALLY, THERE IS ONE BOW EYE AND
THE WINCH STRAP AND SAFETY CHAIN BOTH CONNECT TO IT. Please clarify.
Answer: The 2nd or bottom eye will be used to attach a turnbuckle to the trailer for secured towing. The 2nd eye should be placed directly under the top eye.
2. Question: Item 8: cage Lighting: Two (2) LED white 30” cage lights on top of engine cage facing forward. Two (2) white LED 10” on each side of cage facing with separate switch. YOU WILL NOTICE THIS IS THE SAME TERMINOLOGY USED ON THE
GRASS RAKE, BUT IS NOT NORMAL FOR THE CAGE LIGHTING. IF THAT IS
EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT, PLEASE CLARIFY PLACEMENT.
ALTERNATIVELY, WE CAN BUILD A LIGHT PLATFORM THAT HOUSES A
SINGLE 30” LED LIGHTBAR FACING FORWARD AND A 10’ FACING
OUTWARD ON EACH SIDE, WHICH IS A NORMAL SETUP FOR LEO/SAR. THE
PLATFORM ALSO ALLOWS FOR ANY ADDITIONAL COMMS THAT MAY BE
NEEDED IN THE FUTURE. (IE RADAR, SEARCH LIGHT).
Answer: The alternate suggestion will work.
3. Question: Item 11: 15” galvanized 5 lug wheels with greaseable hubs. WE HIGHLY
RECOMMEND 14” FOR EASIER LOADING AND UNLOADING, ESPECIALLY
DRY LOADING DURING EMERGENCY TIMES
Answer: Alternate 14” wheels will work.
4. Question: Item 11: Custom welded attachment point for turn buckle to attach to boat for security. IS THIS THE SAFETY CHAIN? IF NOT, PLEASE CLARIFY THE TURN
BUCKLE REQUIREMENT.
Answer: See heavy duty bow eyes. This is an additional safety anchor point to tie the boat to the trailer while towing. In addition to the wrench strap, we will be using a turn buckle attached from the trailer and hooked to the boat.
5. Question: Could you please clarify if the bid bond/Surety is required (must be provided) to submit our bid?
Answer: There is not a bid bond requirement for this project.
6. Question: Are we eligible to use a subcontractor that is an authorized dealer to deliver?
Answer: Yes, the purchase order and payment shall be issued to the authorized dealer.
