Maine bar licensure in good standing and professional liability insurance are mandatory eligibility requirements. The state anticipates multiple awards from this RFP.

Counsel will provide legal representation and advice on workers' compensation matters under Title 39-A M.R.S.A. and Workers' Compensation Board rules, including representation before the Board and Maine Supreme Judicial Court on contested claims, legal opinions, discovery and litigation management, coordination with the Attorney General's Office, training seminars on workers' compensation law, and quarterly case updates.

The lowest submitted cost receives the full 30 points, with other proposals scored proportionally. Bidders must submit three examples of relevant past projects, organizational charts, litigation history for the past five years, and three years of financial statements. All proposals must comply with Maine's data classification and cybersecurity policies, including protections for personally identifiable information classified at HIGH confidentiality impact level.
