STATE OF WASHINGTON

SOLE SOURCE POSTING
 
August 21, 2024
 
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR), contemplates awarding a sole source contract to Kenmore Air Harbor Inc. (Kenmore Air) to provide removal and recycling of approximately 600 used tires from three Kenmore Air owned seaplane floats located in South Lake Union, specifically within Kenmore & Roche Harbor.  Kenmore air will also replace the tires with a black rubber fendering system.  
 
DNR received an appropriation in the FY24 legislative supplemental budget to fund the removal of tires from docks serving floatplanes in salmon-bearing waterways. These tires contain an anti-degradant called 6PPD. 6PPD stands for the chemical N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N’-phenyl-p-phenlenediamine. This chemical prevents automotive tires from breaking down and helps them last longer.
 
DNR will enter into a one (1) year contract with Kenmore Air. The contract will be issued on or after September 12, 2024, and will continue for a one (1) year initial term. The cost of this one year contract is up to $146,303.11. DNR may opt to extend the contract for an additional three (3) times in one (1) year increments if required. DNR determines if each optional additional one year extension would result in equal (and/or slightly higher) consideration being added to the total contract value.
 
Offerors contemplating the above requirements are   required   to   submit   capability statements detailing their ability to meet the state’s requirements within ten (10) working days of this announcement.
 
Vendor capability statements should address how they are qualified and capable of performing the following requirements:
 
  • Vendor must be able to provide a DNR-approved alternative to tires as a fendering system for seaplane serving docks using material that is non-toxic and will not leach into the nearby marine environment.
  • Vendor must be able to remove and recycle approximately 600 used tires containing 6ppd in three salmon-bearing waterways at the location specified above.
  • Vendor must be able to replace and install approximately 1,200 feet of cedar facing board on the seaplane dock.
  • Vendor must be able to install a new fendering system that meets seaplane moorage requirements using DNR-approved fendering product.
 
In the absence of other capable sources, it is the state’s intent to make a sole source award of the contract. To submit capability statements or for questions, contact:
