This Master Score Sheet presents the evaluation results from RFP 202503052 issued by the State of Maine Department of Environmental Protection to establish a Pre-Qualified Vendor List (PQVL) for Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) services. The RFP solicits expert vendors to provide comprehensive environmental damage assessment and restoration assistance related to oil and hazardous material discharges, with vendors able to specialize in multiple categories including Wetlands, Injury Determination, Restoration, NRDAR Expertise, and NRDAR Calculations. The proposal submission deadline was October 28, 2025, and the contract term spans from January 1, 2026 to December 1, 2031. Three bidders submitted proposals for evaluation: National EC Services Inc with a proposed cost of $50,031.00, Biodiversity Research Institute with $72,272.00, and Industrial Economics Inc with $24,868.00.

The evaluation utilized a rigorous 100-point scoring methodology distributed across four sections: Cost Proposal (30 points), Preliminary Information (Pass/Fail), Proposed Services (30 points), and Qualifications (40 points). Final scores were National EC Services Inc at 74.91 points, Biodiversity Research Institute at 80.32 points, and Industrial Economics Inc at 100 points. Industrial Economics Inc achieved a perfect score despite submitting the lowest cost proposal, while Biodiversity Research Institute scored second with a mid-range proposal cost, and National EC Services Inc scored lowest despite offering a mid-range cost. The Department of Environmental Protection reserves the right to select multiple vendors for the pre-qualified list and to invite selected vendors to participate in future NRDAR project mini-bid processes.
