Bidders are required to submit their proposals in accordance with the solicitation’s terms and any issued addenda by the response deadline of May 5, 2025. The contract’s scope encompasses an estimated value between five million and fifteen million dollars, with the possibility for the State to extend the contract beyond the initial five-year term. The procurement process emphasizes selecting vendors capable of reliably supplying essential marine repair components to support the ferry division’s operations, ensuring safety, efficiency, and resilience in the region’s transportation infrastructure. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is L. K. Campbell, whose contact details are provided for further inquiries.
