Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared to Furnish and Deliver a Pontoon Boat to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
The purpose of this contract is to furnish and deliver one replacement 24-foot long pontoon boat to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. The boat will be primarily used for CSO responses performed as part of the floatables control plan in the Consent Decree. Per the Consent Decree, the District is required to have two skimmer, one debris and one pontoon boat. The new pontoon boat will replace a 2002 pontoon boat that was not intended to be used in winter. Retrofit of the existing pontoon boat is not feasible because the hull is not designed for rugged winter conditions such as ice. The new pontoon boat will have an enclosed wheelhouse and heat for winter operations.
The estimated cost of this contract is $85,000.00.
The bid deposit for this contract is $4,200.00.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not included in this contract because it is a furnish and deliver contract.
