The City of Mobile (“City”) is soliciting proposals for the design, construction, delivery, and support of a rapid-response rescue boat for the Mobile Fire-Rescue Department (MFRD). The MFRD seeks to replace its 28’ rescue boat with an equivalent size, rapid-response, foam or hybrid-foam collar rescue boat, and is seeking proposals to design, fabricate, and deliver the replacement boat. This contract is being funded in whole or part with a Federal Port Security Grant. The contract terms required by 2 CFR 200 are incorporated into the terms of this RFP and will be included in any purchase documents. Proposers must hold a current General Services Administration (GSA) or other Alabama-Examiner-of-Public-Accounts-approved cooperative (“cooperative”) purchasing contract for such a boat,and are to quote pricing and contract terms consistent with, or more favorable to the City than, those of the GSA or cooperative contract. This City previously issued RFP 5850 with similar requirements, but elected not to award from that RFP.  The City is resoliciting with updated specifications and scoring weights.

Sealed written proposals are due by 5:00pm, February 22, 2024.  Written questions by email are due to Purchasing@CityofMobile.org by 5:00pm, February 14,2024.
