Equipment was required to achieve productivity rates between 8,440 and 21,420 square feet per hour depending on model and cleaning method, operate at 68.5 dBA sound levels, maintain minimum aisle turning radius of 51.5 to 53 inches, and achieve gradeability of 3.0 to 5.0 degrees. Machines were to be powered by 24-volt battery systems with 2.5 to 3.0 hour run times and weigh between 203 and 216 pounds without batteries and 315 to 386 pounds with batteries installed.

Bidders were required to submit pricing on a unit basis to the Division of Purchases in Augusta, Maine, with all pricing to include trade or quantity discounts and delivery charges.

Tie bids were resolved in favor of in-state bidders or those offering Maine-manufactured products or services.
