Light Tower and Generator Bid

The State of Maine Division of Purchases is requesting quotes for light towers and generators, with quotes due September 18, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. local time.

The scope includes TIGER portable light towers and TIGER portable generator sets meeting detailed technical specifications for power output, fuel type, operational parameters, safety features, and construction standards. Bidders must submit separate unit prices for each item and furnish samples at no charge when required.

Award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder providing the best overall value. The State reserves the right to accept items individually or as a group and to increase or decrease ordered quantities by up to 10% unless otherwise stated. In-state bidders and those offering Maine-manufactured commodities or services receive preference in case of tied quotes.

All quotes must be submitted electronically. Pricing must include all transportation charges prepaid to destination unless otherwise specified. The State is exempt from Federal and Maine State Sales and Use Taxes, so quotes should exclude these. Cash discounts of 20 days or more will be considered in determining the lowest bidder; discounts under 20 days will not be considered. Bidders must specify delivery terms in definite language, and any deviation from specifications is grounds for rejection. Hazardous chemical suppliers must provide current material safety data sheets in compliance with Maine's Chemical Substance Identification Law.

Questions must be submitted through the Question and Answer link on the Solicitation Details View page; vendors are responsible for logging in to review all posted questions and answers.
