Bridge Deck Sealant Deck-Sil 1700 System or Equivalent.

The State of Maine's Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of State Procurement Services, is seeking competitive quotations for a Master Agreement Contract for bridge deck sealant products, specifically the Deck-Sil 1700 System or equivalent. The Request for Quotations (RFQ 17A 250317-198) targets procurement of specialized epoxy sealers and penetrating silane products for infrastructure maintenance, primarily for the Maine Department of Transportation. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a bid cover page, debarment form, cost response, bid price sheet, and product information sheets. The solicitation requires vendors to provide unit pricing for 2-gallon Epoxy Sealer Kits with specified delivery timeframes, with all shipping costs to be included in the bid price (FOB - Destination). The State will evaluate proposals based on best value, considering factors such as product conformity, performance history, and technical specifications. Quotations are due on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, by 4:00 p.m. local time, with the initial contract period running from April 15, 2025, to April 14, 2026, and potential extensions available through April 14, 2029.

While the RFQ does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it provides flexibility for vendors to propose equivalent products with detailed specification comparisons. The final determination of product equivalency will be made by the requesting department. The contract allows state departments and agencies to purchase these items on an as-needed basis, with no guaranteed order quantities, which suggests a flexible procurement approach. No incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned in the documentation. The potential award will cover multiple product configurations, including 2-gallon, 10-gallon, and 208-gallon epoxy sealer kits, as well as 1-gallon, 5-gallon, and 52-gallon penetrating silane products. Although precise budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive bid pricing sheet indicates a structured procurement process with standardized pricing mechanisms for infrastructure maintenance materials. Vendors will be expected to provide competitive, comprehensive pricing across various product sizes and configurations.
