- Description
- The US Geological Survey intends to award a sole source purchase order to Monte Vista Marine, Inc. in Flagstaff, AZ 86004 for 4 ea 30 hp Honda outboard engines and 2 ea 50 hp engines. All engines include installation of tiller handles and hour meters. The 30 hp motors are used for motorized rafts for days- and weeks-long research trips the length of the Colorado River and other rivers in the Grand Canyon. The 50 hp outboards are for specially designed research vessels used in electrofishing, channel mapping and sediment sampling projects. No other source is within the near proximity to the Grand Canyon which is required because the motors require special transport after installation of tiller handles since they will not fit in their original packaging. It is impractical to ship motors further than the local 3 miles from the USGS facility for FOB, routine and warranted repairs. Additionally, because of vessel space limitations, the entire USGS fleet of vessels for use in the Grand Canyon can only carry limited emergency repair parts during the research trips and cannot accommodate multiple parts lists for more than one type of motor. No other sources are known to possess the unique and essential qualifications of logistic proximity and conformance to the existing USGS fleet for Grand Canyon research efforts. Other potential sources may submit proposals which will be considered. USGS Contact jstevenson@usgs.gov FOB Destination
