Jet Boat and Trailer - Missouri State Highway Patrol

The State of Missouri, specifically the Missouri State Highway Patrol, is seeking to procure a specialized marine vessel through an Invitation for Bid (IFBC30034901700816) for a jet boat and trailer. The procurement requires one all-welded aluminum "V" hull inboard motor jet boat with precise specifications, including a 20-foot length, 200hp Mercury Sport Jet engine, dual aluminum side-mounted consoles, pedestal seating, and specific safety features such as Coast Guard approved foam flotation and LED navigation lights. The accompanying single-axle trailer must be constructed of galvanized tubular steel with a 3,500 lb minimum leaf spring axle and LED tail lamps. The solicitation covers a contract period of one year from the date of award, with potential for two additional one-year renewal periods. The bid is open from March 8, 2017, to March 29, 2017, with a desired delivery timeline of 30 calendar days after receipt of a properly executed order. Vendors must submit bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or via hard copy to the Division of Purchasing, completing all required exhibits including Exhibit A through F and pricing pages.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside requirements or restrictions on vendor participation, indicating the bid is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no explicit designations for disadvantaged business enterprises. Payment terms are established at Net 45 days, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest and best responsive bidder. While the documents do not specify a precise budget range or total contract value, vendors are required to submit unit pricing for both the boat and trailer, including maximum unit prices for potential renewal periods. The procurement is specifically for the Missouri State Highway Patrol's General Headquarters Garage in Jefferson City, with delivery designated as Free on Board Destination. The solicitation provides comprehensive technical specifications but does not disclose specific funding sources or estimated total contract value, leaving those details to be determined through the bidding process.
