1 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Sole Source Justification
(For use on all goods and services acquisitions.)
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.
5. 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.
