FAX BID* Surface Drive Motor for LDWF

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is seeking bids for a surface drive motor to be mounted on a Pro-Drive X Series boat, with the solicitation issued through the State of Louisiana's Office of State Procurement. This is a proprietary procurement, meaning only the specifically specified brand and model will be considered for award. The successful vendor must provide complete installation services, including all necessary rigging, fuel lines, and wiring to integrate the motor with the existing boat. The bid is due on November 26, 2024, by 2:00 PM CST, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting the detailed specifications. Bidders are required to submit unit pricing, confirm their ability to mount the motor, and specify delivery timeframes after receiving the order. The procurement process allows for submission through multiple channels, including online via LaPac, fax, or mail/hand delivery, with vendors required to register in the LAGOV vendor portal to participate.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly outlined in the procurement documents. The State of Louisiana is exempt from state and local sales taxes, and the manufacturer's standard warranty will apply to the motor. Payment terms are net 30 days, and no bid bond or performance bond is required for this procurement. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the documents indicate that the motor must be compatible with an existing Pro-Drive X Series boat provided by LDWF. The procurement appears to be a straightforward replacement or upgrade of marine equipment, with the state reserving the right to reject individual line items from the award. Although no specific budget range is provided, the procurement is for a single surface drive motor with installation, suggesting a focused and potentially modest contract value.
