Additional Info Terms_

This is an Additional Information Terms document from the State of Maine regarding vendor submission procedures and payment policies for the Poly Crete Plate Shop floor solicitation. The document outlines critical procedural requirements for vendors participating in this RFQ through the AdvantageME Vendor Self Service (VSS) bidding system. All questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted exclusively through the Question and Answer link on the Solicitation Details View page, with responses posted in the same location. Vendors are responsible for monitoring this portal throughout the bidding period, as all questions will be answered up to 24 hours prior to bid closing, and questions submitted after this deadline will not be considered valid. Vendors may submit quotes at any time on the AdvantageME VSS system and are advised to check for updates regularly before the submission deadline.

The State of Maine reserves the right to remit payment through multiple methods, including check, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), and procurement card. Importantly, bidders are advised that Maine state statute 9-A MRSA 8-303 (2) prohibits sellers from imposing surcharges on credit card or debit card purchases, requiring that payment by card be accepted at the same terms as cash or check payments. This provision ensures vendors cannot pass additional fees to the state for alternative payment methods.
