    Questions and Answers- pontoon boat PDF.pdf
    The document outlines responses to specific inquiries related to the procurement of a pontoon vessel for government use, focusing on specifications and materials. Key points include that while the vessel should ideally be close to 20 inches for towing purposes, it may be larger as long as it meets an 11-person minimum capacity and flooring is carpeted. The government permits the use of a 2025 model due to the unavailability of 2024 models, provided the price remains unchanged. Additionally, engineered vinyl flooring, preferred over carpet for its availability in pontoons, is acceptable. These clarifications reflect the government's flexibility in accommodating suppliers while ensuring compliance with project standards for the vessel's specifications and materials.
