The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is soliciting bids for boat service and repairs for Law Enforcement Division District 3 under an all-or-none quick quote, with responses due October 2, 2026. The vendor must be located in Tuscaloosa County.

The scope covers repairs and maintenance on multiple vessel types—Seaark, Alaskan, Woolridge, Lowe, Duracraft, Grizzly, and Vexus—and outboard motors manufactured by Yamaha, Suzuki, and Mercury. The initial contract term runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with DCNR intending to establish a multi-year agreement renewable annually. The cumulative contract value shall not exceed $25,000 over the entire term, which is not to exceed five years from the effective date.

Vendors must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that system. All suppliers must comply with state procurement requirements, including E-Verify enrollment verification if employing Alabama workers, sales tax certification, and foreign entity registration with the Alabama Secretary of State if applicable. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis on all bids. Price escalation requests may be considered during performance if material or labor costs increase significantly, provided increases do not exceed five percent of annual contract cost or applicable industry price indices. The contract is governed by Alabama law with venue in Montgomery, and suppliers must accept multiple forms of electronic payment at no additional cost to the State.
