SNOWMOBILE

The State of Maine is soliciting bids on snowmobiles with a due date of September 28, 2010. The procurement specifies the 2010 Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP) Skandic WT model — a single-source specification.

The scope requires the Skandic WT with choice of two engine options: the Rotax 600 ACE (liquid-cooled four-stroke, 600 cc displacement, 7,250 RPM maximum) or the Rotax E-TEC 600 H.O. (liquid-cooled three-cylinder, 594.4 cc displacement, 8,100 RPM maximum). The snowmobile must include the REV-XU platform with SC-5U articulating rear suspension, Pilot 6.9 skis, 20 x 154 x 1.5-inch track, two-up modular seating with underseat storage, electric start, heated controls, gauge package, mirrors, and 515 mm windshield. Overall dimensions are 3,240 mm length, 1,076 mm width, and 1,330 mm height; dry weight ranges 278–282 kg depending on engine and color selection (yellow or black available). Standard equipment includes synchromesh transmission with reverse, hydraulic brakes, standard hitch, cargo rack, and 12V power outlet. Both engines use eDrive TRA III and QRS clutch systems. The 600 ACE accepts regular unleaded fuel; the E-TEC 600 H.O. requires premium unleaded fuel.

Questions are due by September 28, 2010. No contract value, term, quantity, or incumbent information is identified in the source material.
