Lamor Brush Skimmer Minimax 25 w/ Accessories Included

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of State Procurement Services, is conducting a Request for Quotations (RFQ) on behalf of the Department of Environmental Protection to procure three Lamor Brush Skimmer Minimax 25 units with accessories. The equipment specifications detail precise dimensions of 34 inches length by 34 inches width by 18 inches height, weighing 50 pounds, with a certified capacity of 26.3 cubic meters per hour and a draft of 5 inches. Quotations are due by January 20, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and must be submitted through the State of Maine's AdvantageME Vendor Self Service system. Vendors are required to provide manufacturer literature, warranty information, and equivalency documentation for any proposed alternative items. The evaluation will be conducted on a best value basis, with award made to the lowest-priced qualified bidder meeting all specifications, and bid prices must remain firm for 180 days from the bid opening date. Immediate delivery is required, with the delivery location specified as the Department of Environmental Protection at 106 Hogan Road, Bangor, Maine 04401.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on participating organizations. The state reserves the right to negotiate the purchase of additional units at the bid price for six months following official award notification. All quotations must include pricing with Free on Board (FOB) Destination shipping terms, meaning vendors are responsible for shipping charges and goods until state receipt. The state is exempt from federal, state, and local taxes on articles not for resale, and quotations should exclude these taxes. No best and final offers will be solicited, expecting bidders to submit their most competitive pricing with the initial quotation. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for three skimmer units, suggesting a moderate-value contract. The state anticipates making a single award and will evaluate submissions based on comprehensive compliance with specifications and competitive pricing.
