Description

Chatham Area Transit Authority is soliciting bids for a comprehensive restoration of its passenger ferry, the Susie King Taylor. Work includes replacing the main engines and propulsion system (with an alternative electric L-drive option), associated generators and controls as applicable, hydraulic piping, pumps, and propulsion components; structural refurbishment and fender replacement; hull and deckhouse blasting and painting; and repairs to vessel spaces and watertight components. The contractor must coordinate with the U.S. Coast Guard and return the vessel with a valid Certificate of Inspection, and must support a stability test after renovation. The scope also includes passenger-area and pilothouse renovations, including upholstery and finish work, integrated door locks, a new helm chair and steering controls, LED running lights, and marine electronics such as VHF radios, radar, AIS, and a wired security-camera system. The solicitation requires a mandatory onsite vessel visit for bidder eligibility. Proposals must include three years of financial statements, a staffing-availability statement, evidence of specified liability insurance, references, and the applicable completed solicitation attachments and federal certifications.
