8000 Gallon Tank Trailer

The Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Division of Procurement Services, on behalf of the Maine Department of Corrections, is seeking quotations to provide a single 8,000 gallon aluminum tank trailer. The trailer must meet detailed specifications outlined in the Request for Quotations (RFQ), including capacity, barrel design, running gear, valves and piping, and lighting requirements. The quotations are due by 4:00 PM on May 16, 2024, and must include required bid documents such as product information, warranty details, and a signed bid cover page. Pricing must be provided on a "Free on Board (FOB) - Destination" basis, meaning shipping charges are to be included in the bid price. The State will evaluate the quotes on a best value basis, with the lowest price bidder meeting the specifications awarded the contract, unless the bidder has had documented poor performance or contract termination within the last five years.

The RFQ does not indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The State reserves the right to negotiate additional purchases at the bid price for six months after award. The RFQ does not specify an incumbent vendor or current contractor, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The expected purchase quantity is one unit, but the exact award value is not provided.
