Project Description: Two 150 HP class four-stroke outboard marine engines, 25-inch (XL) shaft length, supplied and installed as a complete twin-engine system including controls, wiring harnesses, ignition/key switch panels, tachometer/engine gauges, hydraulic steering system, and stainless steel propellers. Installation shall include all rigging, system integration, and operational testing necessary to deliver a fully functional twin- engine installation. Vendor pricing must include all components, rigging, hardware, installation labor, and materials necessary for installation and operation of the proposed outboard engines. No additional charges for required engine components or installation necessary to make the engines operational will be accepted after award. Manufacturer and model are used as a measure of quality, style, appearance and performance. Suzuki DF150APX or Yamaha F150XD, or acceptable alternate with equivalent horsepower, shaft length, twin-engine configuration, and complete rigging and controls, will be considered for acceptance by the University. Any brand or manufacturer of equal or better quality to that specified will be considered; the University may reject any proposed alternate deemed unequal, and such determination shall be final and binding. Due to the operational location of the vessel, vendors must either be an authorized dealer with a service facility on the east side of Hawaiʻi Island or provide documentation that an authorized service dealer on the east side of Hawaiʻi Island can perform installation of the engines at the service facility, and required warranty service and repairs for the proposed engine model. Documentation identifying the servicing dealer must be included with the vendor’s bid.
