The State of Maine Division of Purchases is soliciting bids on crew quarters construction materials for the Fairbanks project (PIN 18020.10), with quotes due July 11, 2011. In-state bidders and those offering commodities produced or manufactured in Maine receive preference in case of tie quotes.

The scope comprises a comprehensive materials list for crew building construction, organized by trade and building system — structural materials, finishes, mechanical systems, and fixtures — as detailed in the attached materials spreadsheet. Bidders must submit itemized unit prices for each material line item unless otherwise specified and may propose alternate commodities with complete identification and descriptive literature.

Bidders must submit quotes electronically by 2:00 p.m. local time on the due date. All prices must be delivered to destination with transportation charges prepaid and borne by the contractor; trade and quantity discounts must be included in quoted unit prices. Cash discounts of 20 days or more are considered in determining low bid; discounts under 20 days are not considered. The State is exempt from Federal and Maine State Sales and Use Taxes; bidders should quote less these taxes.

Awards will be made on best value to the State, considering quality and conformity to specifications, delivery dates, and overall best interest of the State. The Division of Purchases retains the right to reject any or all quotes, waive formalities and technicalities, and increase or decrease quantities by up to 10 percent unless otherwise stated. Contractors must comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations, including the Maine Chemical Substance Identification Law requiring material safety data sheets for hazardous chemicals.
