Bidders must be the manufacturer or authorized Boston Whaler dealer or distributor — a single-source equipment specification that materially restricts competition.

The outboard motor must be a Mercury 115 EXLPT EFI 4-Stroke, 2026 model year or newer, with aluminum propeller, remote mechanical throttle and shift, electric starter, 25-inch long shaft, and power trim and tilt. The galvanized trailer must include swing tongue, disc brakes, spare tire with galvanized mount, swing-up tongue jack, and appropriate lighting and hitch configurations. The boat includes a 10-year hull warranty. All pricing must include shipping with FOB destination to 1801 Atwater Street, Detroit, Michigan 48207, quoted to the second decimal point.

Bidder questions are due July 6, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST to Lisa Crozier-Green (CrozierGreenL@michigan.gov), with answers posted by July 10. Quotes must be submitted through SIGMA VSS and remain valid for 60 calendar days. Delivery is requested by September 30, 2026. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business documentation may be submitted for consideration. Payment will be made by electronic funds transfer only on Net 45 after invoice receipt.
