19 -- JET BOAT SOL 201818Q071 DUE 082898 POC Liz Miller, 505-248-6622 BACKGROUND STATEMENT: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Imperial National Wildlife Refuge includes approximately 30 miles of the lower Colorado River. The Refuge receives over 80,000 visits per year from boaters who recreate along this reach. The river in this stretch is shallow and braided with numerous sand bars, making navigation difficult at times with certain types of boats. Most recreational boaters operate "jet" boats, "jet skis", or other shallow draft watercraft. Most power boats that visitors are operating on the Refuge have high horsepower engines (150-400 hp) and are capable of high speeds. In order to more efficiently and safely perform law enforcement duties on the river, it is necessary to have a patrol boat that does not draft much water, is safe, quick, and very maneuverable. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This anouncement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Request for Quotation (RFQ) 201818Q071.
