2013 SKI-DOO renegade sport

The State of Maine Division of Purchases is requesting quotations for one 2013 Ski-Doo Renegade Sport snowmobile, with quotes due April 24, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. local time. In-state bidders and those offering Maine-manufactured commodities or services receive preference when price and quality are equal.

The snowmobile must be equipped with a Rotex 600 ACE 4-stroke engine in blue finish, a Light LED package, OEM Bombardier factory covers, an extra Bombardier factory belt, mirrors, and hitch studs or screws. The procurement also includes eight Micro Lite Dash LED lightheads with integrated flasher assemblies for the Maine State Warden Service — each unit blue, weatherproof-rated, operating on 12 VDC with single toggle switch control, drawing no more than 0.5 amps, and carrying a five-year manufacturer warranty. The flasher assemblies must include a two-year warranty.

Award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder offering best value based on quality, conformity to specifications, delivery date, and ultimate cost. The state reserves the right to award on a per-item or group basis and may increase or decrease quantities by up to 10 percent. Bidders must submit separate unit prices for each item and provide complete identification and descriptive literature for any alternate commodities proposed. Electronic submission is required; vendor questions must be submitted through the Question and Answer link on the Solicitation Details View page, with responses posted in the same location. All transportation charges shall be prepaid by the contractor unless otherwise specified. The state is exempt from federal and Maine sales taxes; quotes should exclude these amounts. Cash discounts of 20 days or more are considered in determining the low bidder; discounts under 20 days will not be considered in the award decision.
