16-19FT Welded Aluminum Boat

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is seeking bids for a 16-19ft welded aluminum boat, outboard engine, and trailer to be used for a motorboat training course. The detailed technical requirements for the boat are specified in the Request for Quotation (RFQ), including dimensions, seating capacity, and engine specifications. WDFW is seeking a single unit with a required delivery date of March 31, 2024. The contract is expected to be valued at less than $150,000, and WDFW will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bid from a Small Business or Veteran-Owned Business, unless no such businesses submit a responsive bid. Bidders are required to provide pricing sheets for the boat, engine, and trailer, and WDFW will process payment upon satisfactory receipt of the goods. The RFQ also notes that WDFW is seeking to minimize the purchase of products containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and requests packaging without color or dyes.

The contract will be awarded to serve Thurston County, Washington. WDFW has issued an amendment to the RFQ to clarify that the boats will mainly operate in protected waters such as lakes and rivers, rather than choppy conditions on larger rivers or open water. The amendment states that all other terms, conditions, and specifications remain unchanged. Potential bidders are instructed to direct any further questions to the designated procurement contact at WDFW.
