Exterior Deck Staining at the State NH Marine Headquarters

The State of New Hampshire, specifically the Department of Safety's Division of Administration, is seeking bids for exterior deck staining services at the NH Marine Patrol Headquarters located in Gilford, NH. The Request for Bids (RFB DOS 2026-08) requires vendors to perform comprehensive deck restoration, which includes scraping loose and deteriorating existing finishes, power washing, rinsing, and applying two coats of SW Super Deck Exterior Waterborne Solid Color Stain. Bidders must be registered vendors authorized to do business in New Hampshire, with a completed Vendor Application and Alternate W-9 Form on file with the Bureau of Purchase and Property. Key submission requirements include a detailed quote form covering materials, equipment, and labor costs, proof of comprehensive general liability insurance ($1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate), and at least two client references demonstrating successful completion of similar services. The bid was issued on 9/5/2025, with proposals due by 9/22/2025 at 9:00 am, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest bidder meeting all specified terms and conditions.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be subject to approval by the Governor and Executive Council, with invoices to be submitted electronically and paid within 30 days of work completion and acceptance. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the documentation, the scope suggests this is a relatively small-scale project focused on maintenance and preservation of the Marine Patrol Headquarters' exterior deck. The state reserves the right to cancel the bid process at any time and will not be liable for any costs incurred by vendors in preparing their proposals. Potential bidders should carefully review all documentation and ensure full compliance with the stated requirements, as the evaluation will be primarily based on meeting all specified terms, with price being a significant determining factor in the award decision.
