This is a truck cap specification and bid document from the State of Maine Division of Purchases for the procurement of multiple 2010 fiberglass truck caps. The solicitation requests bids for at least six separate cap specifications tailored to specific 2010 model vehicles, including GMC Canyon Extended Cab models (both standard 6-foot bed in 4WD and 2WD versions), Ford F150 Extended Cab Short Bed 4WD, and GMC Sierra 1500 Extended Cab with 6.5-foot bed in 4WD configuration. Bids were due August 17, 2010. Each specification includes detailed requirements for color, style, and optional features. The State reserves the right to award based on the lowest responsible bidder considering quality, specification conformity, delivery dates, and ultimate cost, with tie bids favoring in-state bidders or those offering Maine-manufactured commodities.

All truck caps must include standard features such as sliding side windows with screens, standard front windows with radius corners, reinforced roofs, clear glass with black window beading, 360-degree visibility windows, recessed third brake lights, two gas props per door, installation tape, aluminum hold-down clamps, and window t-handles with weather covers. Specifications vary by vehicle model regarding color (white non-wedge and cab-high styles for Canyon models; white Maxi High wedge-style for the F150; and Midnight Blue wedge-style matching GM Paint Code #37U/WA403P for the Sierra), optional 12-volt rear interior lighting for F150 and one Sierra specification, and roof rack options including boat/ladder adjustable racks for Canyon and Sierra models and Vanguard Cap Racks with horizontal bars for the F150. All caps are F.O.B. dealer-installed at the buyer's location. Pricing must exclude Federal and Maine State Sales and Use Taxes and include transportation charges unless otherwise specified. The State reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to increase or decrease quantities by up to 10 percent.
