Home My WebLink AboutSole Source Purchase for Two Surf Pro Rescue Boats from Will 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA _ City of Huntington Beach 92648 I File #: 22-552 MEETING DATE: 7/5/2022 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY: Al Zelinka, City Manager VIA: Scott M. Haberle, Fire Chief PREPARED BY: Bonnie To, Principal Administrative Analyst Subiect: Consider a sole source purchase in the amount of $1,200,006.95 for two Surf Pro Rescue s from Willard Marine a0#9Ts Statement of Issue: City Council approval for sole source purchases exceeding $50,000 and capital equipment purchases exceeding $500,000 are required per Administrative Regulation 229 and Resolution 2021- 38, respectively. The Huntington Beach Fire Department's Marine Safety Division is seeking City Council approval for the sole source purchase of two Surf Pro Rescue Boats from Willard Marine for a total cost of$1,200,006.95. Financial Impact: Funds in the amount of$1,200,006.95 are available in Equipment Replacement Fund 324 and Lease Capital Project Fund 321 for this purchase. Recommended Action: Approve sole source purchase of two Surf Pro Rescue Boats from Willard Marine. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve, and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: The Huntington Beach Fire Department's Marine Safety Division has 3 rescue boats: 1) Asset # 100466 - 2002 Crystaliner Rescue Boat 29 2) Asset # 100467 - 1982 Crystaliner Rescue Boat 29 3) Asset# 100468 - 1989 Crystaliner Rescue Boat 29 These custom Crystaliners are built for very specific response capabilities and are the premier hull for City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 2 Printed on 6/30/2022 powered Legistar- File #: 22-552 MEETING DATE: 7/5/2022 surf lifesaving duty. The unique surf conditions in Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, and California State Parks (south) complement the Crystaliner, and all three agencies use Crystaliners for their operations. Willard Marine is the sole owner of the Crystaliner boat hull mold, producing custom hand laid fiberglass boat hulls out of this mold, and is the only manufacturer that can produce this proven hull design. Additional details are available in the attached Sole Source Justification and quote. The duties of the rescue vessels consist of surfline patrol and back up, harbor patrol, dive response, special events (airshow, US Open, 4th of July, etc.), tsunami or other disaster responses, such as the oil spill, regional response assistance with neighboring agencies, navigational hazard mitigation and RIC for HBFD incidents in the harbor. On a routine daily basis, these rescue vessels perform rescues of swimmers, surfers, body boarders, kayakers and stand up paddleboarders. The rescue vessels are custom made and are designed to accomplish all of the tasks above and more in a safe and efficient manner with a crew of two personnel. The design of the boat and the safety of the crew go hand in hand. The boats are fast, stable, maneuverable and powerful. These attributes are critical in dangerous situations that can be amplified by bad weather and rough seas. The City's 3 rescue vessels are 40 years old, 33 years old, and 20 years old. It is increasingly difficult to keep the vessels running safely, and repairs are costly with delays for parts acquisition. Huntington Beach Fire Department would like to request City Council to approve sole source purchase of two (2) Surf Pro Rescue Boats from Willard Marine. This sole-source procurement is in accordance with the City of Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 3.02. Environmental Status: Not applicable.

Complete responses must be provided for all of the following items. A. THE GOOD/SERVICE REQUESTED IS RESTRICTED TO ONE SUPPLIER FOR THE REASONS STATED BELOW: 1. Why is the acquisition restricted to this goods/services/supplier? (Explain why the acquisition cannot be competitively bid.) Willard Marine is the sole owner of the Crystaliner boat hull mold. Willard Marine produces custom hand laid fiberglass boat hulls out of this mold and is the only manufacturer that can produce this proven hull design. 2. Provide the background of events leading to this acquisition. The City's rescue vessel fleet are past their service life. We currently operate with hulls that were built in 1982, 1989 and 2002. The Crystaliner surf rescue vessel hull is the top of the line standard for surflifesaving on the California coast. They are the safest,fastest most manueverable boats for surf rescue,as evidenced by the agencies that use them, including Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, California State Parks, Seal Beach and Oceanside. 3. Describe the uniqueness of the acquisition (why was the good/service/supplier chosen?). The Crystaliner Surf Pro Rescue Vessels are custom made from the Crytaliner mold and are unique to surf rescue. They have powerfull twin inboard engines with an open cockpit design,transom door and submerged swim step. This setup is perfect for emergency lifeguard response and for bringing multiple victims on board. There is ample storage down below for dive gear, medical equipment,tow lines and dewatering hose. The vessels also perform boat tows very well with a center mounted tow post. 4. What are the consequences of not purchasing the goods/services or contracting with the proposed supplier? The current fleet of rescue vessels are aged out with Sentinel being 40 years old. The older boats are difficult to maintain to a proper safety standard and engine parts are hard to find. There is no other manufacturer capable of producing a Crystaliner hull since there is only one mold and Willard Marine is the owner. S. What market research was conducted to substantiate no competition, including evaluation of other items considered? (Provide a narrative of your efforts to identify other similar or appropriate goods/services,including a summary of how the department concluded that such alternatives are either inappropriate or unavailable. The names and addresses of suppliers contacted and the reasons for not considering them must be included OR an explanation of why the survey or effort to identify other goods/services was not performed.) The Crytaliner hull is the basis for the superior performance of a surf recue vessel. It all starts with the hull and this gives the boat its ride characteristics including speed,turning ability, rough sea handling and confidence and safety in the surf line. No other manufacturer is able to produce a Crytaliner hull out of the original mold except Willard Marine. The vessels are also custom designed after the molding process to ensure essential rescue style features. Other boat builders do not have the original Crystaliner mold and their boats are more styled towards the yachting market. 2 B. PRICE ANALYSIS 1. How was the price offered determined to be fair and reasonable? (Explain what the basis was for comparison and include cost analyses as applicable.) This is a cost comparable to other rescue vessels. 2. Describe any cost savings realized or costs avoided by acquiring the goods/services from this supplier. As stated above,the City's current fleet of rescue boats is aged and often in need of costly repair,which has become increasingly difficult,with long delays due to unavailability of parts.
