Description
The National Park Service is seeking a minimum 28-foot vessel with twin 300 HP V8 outboard engines and a trailer. The vessel should have a foam-filled fiberglass hull to provide positive flotation. The solicitation includes questions and responses, which provide clarification on the requirements. For example, the government will not consider an all-welded commercial-grade aluminum vessel or a welded HDPE hull. However, a dive door can be included as a bid option if it does not compromise the structural integrity of the vessel. The key features and requirements of the vessel include:
• Minimum 28-foot length
• Twin 300 HP V8 outboard engines
• Foam-filled fiberglass hull
• Trailer
• Optional dive door with a minimum opening of 36 inches near the waterline
