Two Lund 1600 Fury SS Boats with motors and options

The Ohio Division of Wildlife is seeking to procure two Lund 1600 Fury SS boats with specific motor and equipment requirements for delivery to locations in Findlay and Akron by June 30, 2025. The procurement involves detailed technical specifications for boats with a 16'2" length, 40 HP maximum rating, and 73.5" beam, which must be equipped with a Mercury 25ELPT motor and include several mandatory options such as a 6-gallon portable fuel tank, travel cover, starboard console windshield, Mercury analog gauges, and a black painted bunk trailer. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on a low lot total calculation, which requires bidders to submit pricing for all items to be considered responsive. Potential vendors can contact Mike Wilkerson at 419-429-8375 or Chris Aman for site visits or additional information. The solicitation was posted on February 3, 2025, with proposals due by February 17, 2025, and all subsequent invoices must be submitted directly to Ohio Shared Services through email, fax, or mail to their Columbus office.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, suggesting it is open to all qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the detailed requirements indicate a structured procurement process focused on acquiring specialized marine equipment for wildlife management purposes. The contract involves two boats with comprehensive equipment packages, suggesting a potential award value in the range of $30,000 to $50,000, depending on final negotiated pricing and specific option selections. The specification document demonstrates a comprehensive approach to procurement, requiring precise matching of technical requirements and complete bid submissions. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical capability to provide the exact boat configuration, motor specifications, and additional equipment as outlined in the procurement documents.
