DISCUSSION:
In 2023, the Board of Supervisors awarded Request for Proposal (RFP) No. SHF-22 to North River Boats for the provision of the HCSO's Patrol Boat and Trailer. The boat has been delivered, and the payment is now due.
At the time of the award, the plan was to allocate the necessary funds for the total purchase price of a boat within the fiscal year (FY) 2023-24. The payment was to be made in two equal installments, with the first 50% due upon finalization of the hull build-out and inspection and the second 50% due upon the final delivery of the boat. However, due to supply chain issues, the delivery timeframe was delayed to the beginning of July 2024. Consequently, the first payment was budgeted for FY2023-24, with the expectation that the hull build-out and inspection would be completed by December 2023. The final payment was to be made upon delivery in July 2024, spanning two fiscal years.
The challenges in the supply chain were resolved expeditiously, surpassing initial expectations and resulting in the completion of the construction ahead of the revised schedule. Upon completion of a hull inspection, North River Boats waived the initial 50% payment requirement due to the faster-than-anticipated progress of the build. The vessel underwent successful sea trials, and HCSO accepted delivery on March 5, 2024.
