CNR FS - D2 150 hp outboard motor

Talladega County in Alabama is seeking procurement of a new 150 horsepower outboard motor for a state agency boat located at the Fish Hatchery Road facility in Eastaboga. The specific requirements call for a Suzuki DF150A 4-stroke outboard motor with EFI fuel induction, power trim and tilt, a 25" shaft length, and a 3-star C.A.R.B. rating. The procurement includes a comprehensive installation package that encompasses two stainless steel 4-blade propellers, new fuel line, control box with cables and wiring, engine switch panel, and a 4" Suzuki tachometer with monitor feature. The vendor must remove the existing 150hp Mercury motor and complete installation on the KANN deck boat's transom, utilizing the existing Dometic hydraulic steering system. The solicitation requires vendors to submit bids through the Alabama Buys supplier portal, with a bid due date of January 27, 2025, and a required delivery and installation timeline of 120 days after purchase order issuance. Suppliers must furnish any requested vendor information within 5 days and ensure all equipment is new, unused, and accompanied by a minimum 12-month warranty covering parts, labor, and freight costs for repairs or replacements.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types that can respond to the bid. Vendors must be registered in the Alabama Buys system and capable of meeting the technical specifications for the outboard motor installation. For vendors located more than 25 miles from the facility, pickup and delivery services must be included unless installation can be performed onsite. The solicitation indicates that the award will be made on an "all or none" basis to the lowest responsible bidder meeting the specified requirements. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications suggest a procurement value consistent with a high-quality marine outboard motor and professional installation service. The state will process payments 30 days in arrears after invoice receipt, and all materials and labor must comply with local codes and trade practice standards, with work to be completed by experienced personnel.
