123-098 RFQQ - 75' MV Thunderbird Refurbishment

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (WSPRC) is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide refurbishment and repair of the 75' MV Thunderbird vessel. The project requires substantial completion by March 4, 2022 in order for the vessel's operational work to commence on March 21, 2022. The contract covers multiple counties in Washington state, including King, Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom, San Juan, Kitsap, Pierce, and Jefferson counties, as well as the cities of Kingston and Snohomish. Bidders must have 10 years' experience performing marine vessel structural maintenance and repairs on vessels exceeding 50 gross tons, including 3 projects in the preceding 5 years. Responses are due by December 3, 2021 at 1:00 PM Pacific time. The bid pricing will be evaluated on four work packages totaling 40 points, along with the Bidder's qualifications and capabilities (30 points), experience (30 points), shipyard size (pass/fail), and rate schedule (40 points). The work must be performed close to the vessel's home waters, and the Bidder will likely be required to be a bid-broker, coordinating the shipyard and trades while also performing a material and meaningful portion of the work.

The contract does not provide any details on set-aside designations, restrictions on organization types, incumbent vendors, or current contractors. The contract also does not specify award values or budget ranges, but the WSPRC states the resulting contract will be structured to ensure they do not exceed a $1 million threshold for any period of time.
