Description
Background
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is seeking to enhance its Marine Evidence Recovery Team's capabilities by procuring a VideoRay Ally underwater Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV). This initiative aims to improve the team's efficiency in searching, locating, and recovering items, evidence, and drowning victims from underwater environments. The procurement is justified as the existing ROVs are becoming obsolete, and the new model offers compatibility with current equipment.
Work Details
The contract involves the purchase of one VideoRay Ally underwater ROV. This ROV is tethered and powered by a generator with a top-side control box. It features advanced thrusters, piloting capabilities, state-of-the-art sonar, a high-definition camera, and underwater positioning capabilities (DVL). The ROV can operate at all depths in Colorado waters, making it suitable for conditions unsafe for divers.
It includes an updated manipulator arm capable of rotating, opening and closing, and extending downward to grasp targets. The improved thrusters enable the ROV to lift objects to the surface.
Period of Performance
The contract will be executed as soon as a Purchase Order is issued, with the sole source procurement end date set for June 1, 2026.
Place of Performance
The performance will take place within Colorado waters where the Marine Evidence Recovery Team operates.
Bidder Requirements
This procurement is designated as a sole source award to VideoRay due to their provision of compatible equipment that meets specific operational needs. No additional certifications or registrations are specified beyond this justification.
