Isle Royale National Park, Michigan

Scope of Work for Mobile Boat Lift or Equal

PMIS 198729

1. Background

As part of an equipment replacement strategy, the park requires a new mobile boat lift. The lift is a necessary piece of equipment for service and storage of the parks fleet of 30 vessels.

Without this equipment, the park would be unable to remove or install much of the fleet.

Shown in the images below, the current nine-ton marine travel lift is used to set and pull park boats for repairs, service work, and for spring opening/fall closing. The park has a fleet of 30 small craft which range from 16 to 36 feet in length. The current lift was manufactured in 1973 and is past its service life. Parts are difficult to obtain and engine fatigue is noticeable while the lift is in operation.

2. Objectives

To obtain a new mobile boat lift which will enable the Park to effectively maintain its fleet of watercraft to support the Park mission. The unit will be rated for 15 tons and come with all cables, straps, and connecting devices required to safely lift boats up to 36’ by means of lifting straps or direct connect lifting points.
