I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to secure the most qualified company with
the most reasonable price for all labor and associated costs to install the main propulsion and

This project is being funded in part by a grant MES received from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.
The purpose of this grant is to implement EPA Certified Clean Diesel Emissions Reduction
Technologies in vehicles and equipment operating at the Port of Baltimore. MES is actively
involved with The Maryland Port Administration promote Clean Diesel Emission Reduction
projects in order to increase the quality of the air and water and to encourage economic

II. BACKGROUND
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded the MES a grant under the
American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 to implement EPA Certified Clean Diesel
Emissions Reduction Technologies, including engine Re-Powers, in vehicles and equipment
operating at the Port of Baltimore, Maryland. Re-powering with new (e.g., EPA Tier II or above)
engines will significantly reduce nitrous oxide (NOx), particulate matter (PM), hydrocarbons
(HC), and carbon monoxide (CO) in diesel emissions. The EPA ARRA Grant covers 75% of the
costs to purchase and install the new engines. Successful awardees will pay the remaining 25%
of the costs.
MES’s project partner, the University of Maryland Environmental Finance Center, solicited grant
applications from eligible applicants operating at the Port of Baltimore for installing these EPA
certified engines. For additional information on the evaluation process, see the subprogram
guidelines at the following website http://www.efc.umd.edu/ Clean Diesel Program.
McAllister Towing of Baltimore, Inc. submitted an application to repower the main and auxiliary
engines, and the application was approved. The purpose of this Request for Proposals is to
select the firm to remove, appropriately dispose of the three (3) existing engines, and install a
new main propulsion engine and two (2) new auxiliary engine/ generator sets. This work is to
include all up-fitting, materials, equipment, and labor, and shipyard dry dock cost for the tug
Kaleen McAllister operating at the Port of Baltimore.
III. LOCATION Of TUGBOAT:
The Maryland Port Administration Seagirt Marine Terminal, which is located at 2600 Broening
Hwy. Dundalk, MD 21224.
IV. PROJECT SCOPE:
The purpose of this RFP is to establish a contract to provide a complete operational re-powering
with EPA Certified Clean Diesel Engines in the Tug Harbor Craft operating at the Port of
Baltimore, known as Kaleen McAllister. This project will include MES contracting with a capable
