Foldable Traffic Cones

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of State Procurement Services, is seeking quotations for High Density Polyethylene Foldable Traffic Cones on behalf of the Department of Transportation through Request for Quotations (RFQ) 17A 250220-0182. The procurement specifically calls for traffic cones that are 28.5 inches high with a 29-inch base, featuring hinged folding capabilities, rubber feet, reflective engineer-grade sheeting, dual white reflective stripes, and a metal disc at the top for attaching flashing lights. Interested vendors must submit their responses by March 5, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. local time, with all questions due by March 3, 2025. The initial contract period will run from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2027, with potential extension options of two additional years through March 31, 2029, and a subsequent one-year period through March 31, 2030. Bidders are required to provide a company letterhead quote, product data/information sheets, and warranty information as part of their submission.

The contract will result in a single Master Agreement Contract that enables all State of Maine Departments and Agencies to purchase the traffic cones as needed, though no guaranteed award amount is specified. Pricing must be provided FOB-Destination with shipping included to any State of Maine facility, and quoted prices must remain firm for at least one year of the initial contract period. Municipalities, political subdivisions, and school districts are permitted to participate in this procurement. Vendors seeking price adjustments must submit requests 60 days prior to the effective date, accompanied by manufacturer documentation supporting actual cost increases. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are mentioned, the comprehensive procurement process appears open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and delivery requirements for the foldable traffic cones.
