Sources Sought Marine Carbon Fiber Manufacturing and Repairs

While no active solicitation exists, Kitsap Transit is seeking Contractors that are capable and willing to provide services for Marine Carbon Fiber Manufacturing and Repairs. Kitsap Transit operates a fleet of foil-assisted high-speed passenger-only ferries through the Rich Passage. 

During the normal course of operations, these carbon fiber foils are impacted by various types of flotsam and jetsam typically found in the Puget Sound. Occasionally, these impacts cause damage that affects the optimal performance of the foil thereby affecting the overall efficiency of the passenger-only vessel. When these types of impacts occur, timely and expert repair of the foil is required.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY:  It is Kitsap Transit’s policy to ensure full compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by prohibiting discrimination against any person on the basis of race, color, national origin or sex in the provision of benefits and services resulting from Federally assisted programs of the Department of Transportation and in the Award and administration of all Contracts.  Small and women or minority owned Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 are encouraged to submit Bids.
