About this opportunity
The Seattle Colleges is seeking proposals for a concept vessel design project for the Seattle Maritime Academy (SMA), with an informal solicitation for a naval architecture firm to develop a comprehensive design for a new training vessel. The project aims to replace the current Maritime Instructor, an 82-foot retired U.S. Coast Guard cutter, and requires developing vessel requirements through stakeholder meetings, creating a detailed concept design, and producing high-quality renderings and marketing materials. The new vessel must be capable of transiting through the Ballard Locks, accommodating up to 18 students plus faculty and crew, and operable by a two-person crew for trips under 12 hours. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM on Wednesday, June 25th, 2025, with a contract performance period to be completed by December 1st, 2025. The evaluation will be based on three key criteria: experience and staff qualifications (50 points), work plan and schedule (30 points), and cost (20 points). Respondents must be licensed in Washington State and demonstrate experience in naval architecture and maritime training environments, with a requirement to provide three client references.
The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Respondents must be licensed naval architecture firms with specific maritime design experience, though no incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. The total contract value is not to exceed $71,250.00, excluding applicable taxes, which represents the budget range for this concept design project. The procurement is specific to King County and the Kingston CDP in Washington State, targeting the development of a critical training asset for the Seattle Maritime Academy's educational programs. The new vessel is intended to serve as a primary training platform for Able Seafarers and Qualified Members of the Engineering Department, emphasizing the strategic importance of this procurement for maritime education and training infrastructure.
