PWC Mosquito Pontoon Boat Motor

Mosquito Lake State Park in Trumbull County, Ohio is seeking to procure a new outboard boat motor for a 26-foot pontoon boat through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued on July 14, 2025. The specific motor requirements include a 90-horsepower, 4-stroke model from manufacturers Yamaha, Mercury, or Suzuki, with mandatory features such as electric turn-key starting, power trim, side mount controls, 15-foot cables, and an aluminum prop. The solicitation requires potential bidders to contact park manager Salim Fadzl prior to submitting a bid, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on a low lot total calculation. The procurement timeline indicates a bid due date of July 29, 2025, with requested motor delivery by August 29, 2025, to the park's location at 1439 ST Route 305, Cortland, Ohio. Invoicing must strictly adhere to Ohio Shared Services (OSS) guidelines, including specific documentation requirements such as purchase order number, supplier name, ship-to address, unique invoice number, and itemized charges. The purchase order will remain valid through June 30, 2026, with any subsequent procurement requiring a new purchase order.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, bidders must utilize the OhioBuys procurement platform and obtain an OH|ID credential for participation. The procurement is structured as an open competition with evaluation focusing on responsiveness and responsibility, potentially disqualifying bidders who do not bid on all required items or fail to meet invoice submission requirements. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and no specific budget range is detailed in the available documents. Interested vendors will need to use the OhioBuys platform, which offers comprehensive functionality for bid submissions, contract management, and spending tracking. The state provides extensive training resources, including web-based eLearning videos, webinars, and job aids to support potential bidders through the procurement process. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate compliance with the State of Ohio's Standard Terms and Conditions, which include rigorous requirements for contractor conduct, data security, and operational standards.
