Enforcement Boat

The State of Idaho and Kootenai County are seeking to procure an Enforcement Boat through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) process, with bid submissions due by August 7, 2023. The procurement appears to be specifically targeting an aluminum work boat and trailer for the Idaho Department of Fish & Game, with detailed specifications for the boat's size, capacity, engine, electronics, and other features. The solicitation requires vendors to submit a comprehensive proposal that includes a completed price sheet, signature page, and administrative information demonstrating compliance with all specified requirements. Vendors must provide a detailed quote for a single boat and trailer that meets the agency's precise technical specifications, including specific size requirements, engine capabilities, and electronic equipment. The ITB indicates that the awarded contract will include a one-year warranty covering the entire boat and trailer, and the successful contractor will be responsible for filing all required title documentation. Delivery is expected to be made to the IDFG Panhandle Regional Office within a specified timeframe after contract award.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, suggesting the procurement is open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that would require integration. While the exact budget range is not specified in the documents, the procurement appears to be a fixed-quantity purchase of a single enforcement boat and trailer. The ITB reserves several important rights for the procuring agency, including the ability to terminate the contract for cause, fiscal necessity, or convenience. Vendors offering alternative products must provide documentation demonstrating equivalence to the specified requirements. The State of Idaho's standard contract terms, which include a 1.25% administrative fee on the contract value, will apply to the final agreement. The procurement follows standard state bidding procedures, with evaluation likely based on responsiveness, technical compliance, and overall value to the agency.
