- Description
- The Contracting Office of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) has a requirement to procure a Lifetyme Model 1652 Tunnel Boat for the ERDC Environmental Laboratory (EL).� The boat must be 16-ft in length, 52 inches in width, with at least a 24-inch side height. �These dimensions are necessary to hold the required research sampling gear and equipment without overloading the boat.� Heavy-gauge aluminum (3/16 inch gauge aluminum for the boat bottom and 0.160 gauge aluminum for the boat sides) is required in order to avoid leaks.� Two bench seats with dry storage and a flute pipe rail along a 36-inch front deck are required.� The flute pipe rail along a 36-inch front deck is required to avoid snagging of gear such as gillnets and to allow ample room along the bow for field personnel to deploy and retrieve sampling equipment.� The trailer must be aluminum for longer service life.� The boat must have a center console and associated steering linkages and switch to accommodate a 40 HP Yamaha jet drive outboard which is already owned by the ERDC Environmental Laboratory.� Lifetyme Inc. is the only manufacturer with the capability to meet all of these required specifications as a package that includes boat, motor installation, and trailer. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals.� A solicitation will not be issued.� However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.� The information submitted must be provided in sufficient detail to demonstrate the vendor�s ability to fulfill this requirement.� The contractor must also provide a description of their past experience in fulfilling requirements which are the same or similar to this requirement and references for each.� Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.� A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government.� Verbal communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.� Responses to this requirement may be submitted to Jody Criss at Jody.Criss@usace.army.mil.� The solicitation number shall be included in the subject line of the e-mail submission.� Responses must be received no later than 5 days from the posted date of this notice.
