The filter protectors will be installed on 15 double-wall and 113 single-wall fiberglass tanks at various sites throughout Maine between April 1, 2013, and March 31, 2014. The installations will be performed by oil companies and heating contractors hired by the Department of Environmental Protection or by the eight Community Action Programs located throughout Maine. Bidders must submit questions through the online Question and Answer link, and the manufacturer must first produce two prototype filter protectors for inspection by the Department. If modifications are required, two additional protectors must be manufactured and approved before fabrication of the remaining 126 units proceeds.

Contractors must meet minimum requirements including submission of a signed statement acknowledging that all bid submissions will be considered public records subject to Maine's Freedom of Access Laws. The request permits the fabrication schedule to be used as fill-in work, allowing manufacturers flexibility in production timing as long as the minimum delivery schedule is maintained.
