Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Department of Marine Resources (Department) is seeking proposals to provide the repower and rehabilitation of a Webber Cove-29 lobster boat-style patrol vessel as defined in this Request for Proposal (RFP) document. This document provides instructions for submitting proposals, the procedure and criteria by which the awarded Bidder will be selected, and the contractual terms which will govern the relationship between the State of Maine (State) and the awarded Bidder. The Department maintains a fleet of fiberglass lobster boat-style patrol vessels used for marine fisheries and boating safety enforcement, as well as search and rescue. The Maine lobster boat design provides an effective and safe platform for officers to conduct patrol work, including hauling and inspecting lobster fishing gear, along Maine’s coastline. The subject vessel is used by the Bureau of Marine Patrol as a law enforcement patrol vessel. The subject vessel is 22 years old and in sound condition, however the vessel requires a replacement of the original inboard diesel engine and gear, as well as general rehabilitation of the fiberglass hull, cabin, and primary marine systems.
