This file is promotional material for the Maine Department of Transportation's "A Safe Walk in Maine" pedestrian safety program, featuring bumper sticker designs. The Maine DOT solicited bids for bumper stickers to support this public awareness initiative, with bids due on February 17, 2009. The document displays the bumper sticker design incorporating "A Safe Walk in Maine" branding and references the MaineDOT website. The solicitation materials do not specify item quantities, pre-bid meeting dates, or an award date. The contract term is performance-based with discretionary extensions available, allowing a maximum three-year total term at the State Purchasing Director's discretion.

Unit prices submitted must include all discounts and delivery costs to the destination in Augusta, Maine. The State of Maine is exempt from Federal and Maine State sales and use taxes and should not be quoted those taxes. Award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder offering best value based on quality, conformity with specifications, delivery dates, and ultimate cost. The State reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to increase or decrease quantities by up to 10 percent. In the event of tied bids, preference is given to in-state bidders or those offering commodities produced or manufactured in Maine. Cash discounts of 20 days or more are evaluated. If awarded, contract overrun liability is capped at 3 percent above the agreed amount. The solicitation does not identify an incumbent contractor or specify the total contract value.
