RFQ-FISH-0627-02, Boat and Trailer

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is requesting quotations on a replacement boat and trailer under RFQ-FISH-0627-02, with quotations due August 24, 2026. The boat is being procured to replace an existing surveyed vessel that has been deemed unsafe for operation.

The scope includes a boat and trailer configured to meet the department's operational needs for survey and monitoring activities. The RFQ specifies detailed technical specifications and performance capabilities for both components, with provisions for site visits and pre-bid meetings to allow potential bidders to inspect reference materials and clarify requirements.

Bidders must declare their California vendor status and any applicable certification numbers (Minority Business, Small Business, or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise) using the Bidder Declaration Form (DFW 1082). If subcontractors will be used, bidders must list each subcontractor's name, contact information, address, California certification number, scope of work, and percentage of bid price allocated to that subcontractor.

Vendors must submit a completed Payee Data Form (Standard Form 204) for state payment and registration purposes. Additionally, a Postconsumer-Content Certification Form (CIWMB074) is required under California's State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign; vendors must certify the percentage of postconsumer recycled-content material in any applicable product categories, including glass products, metal products, plastic products, and other specified categories with stated minimum content thresholds, or certify if the product contains no recycled material.

Award will be made to the qualified vendor offering the most advantageous proposal based on the evaluation criteria outlined in the solicitation documents.
