WDFW Twin 150HP Outboard Engine Replacement and Installation

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is requesting quotations for a complete twin 150 HP outboard motor repower package for a 25-foot TuffBoat vessel used in Columbia River sea lion management, with quotes due July 27, 2026 and delivery and completion required by September 10, 2026. Installation must be performed at a vendor service facility within 100 miles of Ridgefield, Washington — a geographic eligibility filter that renders vendors outside this radius non-responsive.

WDFW offers a 3 percent bid preference to certified firms that do not require employees to sign mandatory individual arbitration clauses or class action waivers. Small businesses, minority- and women-owned business enterprises (OMWBE-certified), and veteran-owned businesses certified by the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs are encouraged to participate; WDFW will award to the highest-ranked responsive and responsible certified small business or veteran-owned business bidder if one submits a qualifying bid, otherwise to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The scope includes purchase and installation of twin 2025 or newer 150 HP 4-stroke outboard motors (one standard rotation, one counter-rotating, both XL shaft); conversion from mechanical cable controls to fly-by-wire electronic steering and throttle/shift controls with dual-handle throttle control and electronic steering wheel helm; new display panel for gauges; all associated hardware and wiring; two aluminum 3-blade propellers; and complete installation labor. The scope also requires removal and palletization of the existing twin Honda BF130A outboard motors for WDFW pickup.

Vendors must be registered in both the Statewide Vendor Payment System and the Washington Electronic Business Solution (WEBS) prior to submission and must submit Executive Order 18-03 vendor certification regarding workers' rights. Quotations must be valid for a minimum of 60 calendar days from the quotation date and must include FOB destination pricing with freight prepaid. Payment is net 30 days upon completion, satisfactory acceptance, and receipt of proper invoicing; progress payments are not available. All title, licensing, and related documentation are WDFW's responsibility and must not be included in the billing invoice.
