In Street Pedestrian Crossing Signs

The State of Maine Department of Transportation, on behalf of Kennebec County and Augusta City, is seeking quotations for the provision of in-street pedestrian crossing signs. The required signs must meet specific criteria, including being fluorescent yellow-green, diamond grade reflective, with radius corners, a portable rubber base, a quick release mount, and an anti-twist, spring-loaded, reactive assembly. The expected purchase quantity is 250 units, with the State reserving the right to negotiate the purchase of additional units at the bid price for six months after the award. Quotations are due by August 27, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. local time, and must be provided on a "Free on Board (FOB) - Destination" basis, with all shipping charges included. The award will be made to the bidder providing the best value, with delivery time potentially being a factor.

The contract opportunity is subject to federal funding requirements, including the FHWA-1273 Required Contract Provisions for Federal-Aid Construction Contracts. Bidders must comply with various federal certifications and provisions, such as those related to no kickbacks, non-collusion, debarment, equal employment opportunity, and affirmative action. The contract may also be subject to disadvantaged business enterprise requirements. The State reserves the right to not award to the lowest bidder if the bidder has had documented poor performance or a contract terminated or not renewed within the last five years. The available budget or estimated award value is not specified in the provided documents.
