Jarrell Cove & Mystery Bay Marine Fabrication

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is seeking proposals for a marine fabrication project at Jarrell Cove and Mystery Bay State Parks, specifically soliciting qualified firms to provide galvanized steel pile posts and cross bracing with associated fasteners for pier repairs. The procurement requires specific deliverables, including 6 sets of cross bracing collars with 4 collars each, 6 sets of cross bracing turnbuckles and rods for Jarrell Cove, and 5 steel pile posts, 7 sets of cross bracing collars, and 7 sets of turnbuckles and rods for Mystery Bay State Park. Bidders must have at least five years of experience in similar fabrication work and will be evaluated on a 100-point scoring system: 60 points for bid price, 20 points for experience and expertise, and 20 points for Washington Small Business and/or Certified Veteran-Owned Business status, with a minimum of 60 total points required for consideration. The procurement covers Mason and Jefferson Counties, with a virtual pre-bid conference scheduled for March 6, 2025, from 10:30-11:00 AM PST, requiring an RSVP by March 4, 2025. Proposals are due by April 1, 2025, at 1:00 PM PST, with electronic submissions accepted via email to BidBox@parks.wa.gov, and the contract term extending until June 30, 2025, with potential extensions up to 3 years.

The solicitation includes voluntary numerical goals for certified diverse business participation, targeting 10% Minority-Owned, 6% Women-Owned, 5% Veteran-Owned, and 25% Washington Small Businesses. All materials must be delivered to the Washington State Parks Marine Crew facility in Oak Harbor, WA, which suggests potential integration with existing marine infrastructure. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement appears designed to encourage participation from small businesses, veteran-owned enterprises, and diverse business entities. The RFP does not explicitly state a total contract value or budget range, but the specificity of required materials and the detailed fabrication requirements indicate a focused, technical procurement. The emphasis on local and diverse business participation, combined with the technical specifications, suggests the state is seeking to balance quality fabrication work with opportunities for smaller, local, and diverse business enterprises in the marine construction and fabrication sector.
