Description

The National Park Service, Isle Royale National Park, is soliciting proposals for all labor and materials necessary to re-power a Landing Craft, Mechanized, 69' (31 Meter), LCM-8, MOD-0, for Isle Royale National Park, Houghton, Michigan. The weight of the vessel is approximately 58.5 tons light and 113 tons loaded. Isle Royale National Park is a large, remote island encompassing 571,790 acres in Lake Superior located 70 miles from the mainland administrative area in Houghton, Michigan. Access to the island is limited to boat, and due to the duration of travel daily commutes are not an option, which necessitates stays of a few days in duration. The park is open from late April through October. Offerors will be asked to provide pricing for the Basic Requirement and three additional Optional Requirements. Work identified as the Basic Requirement entails the re-power of the vessel from four engines to two CAT 3196 diesel engines and Twin Disc 5144 marine gear transmissions.

Work identified as Optional Requirements entail: Relocation of the existing Onan generator from the exterior deck to the engine room; Installation of a power assist hydraulic steering system with a hydraulic pump on each engine; and installation of a new pilothouse.
