Heavy-Duty Marine Towing and Transport Services

The contract involves the heavy-duty marine towing and overland transport of a 30-foot derelict vessel from Pensacola Pass to Perdido Landfill, requiring specialized equipment and precise logistical execution to ensure safe and compliant movement. The work must be performed in accordance with environmental and safety standards, accounting for the vessel's condition, the marine and terrestrial routes, and the final disposal site requirements. All operations are to be carried out using appropriately certified and equipped vessels, trailers, and support machinery capable of handling derelict maritime structures without causing damage to the environment or public infrastructure. The subcontract is posted under NAICS code 488390 for other support activities for water transportation, indicating the service's focus on specialized transport logistics rather than standard shipping. The response deadline is set for August 11, 2026, and the contracting entity is the Florida division of Natural Resources, though specific office or contact details are not provided. The place of performance spans maritime and land-based segments between the designated origin and disposal site, demanding coordinated planning across multiple jurisdictions and environmental regulations. The project does not include a set-aside designation, making it open to qualified private contractors with demonstrated expertise in vessel removal, marine towing, and heavy-haul transport operations.
