About this file
This is a specification document for sorbent boom procurement issued by the State of Maine Department of Environmental Protection. The document establishes minimum performance requirements for oil sorbent booms, which are to be manufactured from microfiberous meltblown polypropylene fill with nylon mesh outer covering and full-length polypropylene rope with rings and connecting clips. The booms must be hydrophobic and oleophilic, non-linting, and resistant to shredding, with specified dimensions of 4-5 inches in diameter by 10 feet in length. Bidders must supply the product in packaging of 4 pieces per bale, with pallets containing 20 bales each, shrink-wrapped and not exceeding 8 feet in height. Prior to award, the State may request one bale from selected bidders for testing at the Department of Environmental Warehouse, Attn: Thomas Smith, 106 Hogan Rd., Bangor, ME 04401.
Sample testing evaluates multiple performance criteria including dry weight per section, absorbency to saturation by weight, retention of recovered product, water absorbency after 24 hours, absorbency of product in water by weight, and absorbency after 24 hours in water. The document also requires calculation of cost per gallon recovered. Bidders must clearly indicate compliance with all minimum specifications and provide detailed explanations of any deviations from the stated requirements. The specifications note that these represent minimum performance standards and do not preclude the State from seeking maximum performance capabilities.
