Materials for Plymouth Crew Quarters

The Maine Department of Transportation is requesting quotations for materials to construct a 28-by-60-foot crew quarters facility at Plymouth Camp in Plymouth, Maine, with quotes due August 29, 2012. No set-aside or preference program is identified in the source, though Maine's standard procurement terms provide a tie-breaker favoring in-state bidders or those offering Maine-produced commodities.

The scope spans 77 line items of structural and finish materials: pressure-treated and kiln-dried spruce lumber in specified dimensions; Advantech zip wall and roof systems; rigid styrofoam and Roxul insulation; 29 trusses with specified pitch and cant measurements; metal roofing by ABC Roofing (Ivy Green SL-12 series, 29 gauge); metal siding by Fabrel (Patina Green); maple cabinetry with natural finish; Matthews Brothers double-pane windows; and hollow metal and wood doors with hardware from Sargent and other manufacturers. Door specifications include detailed requirements for 16-gauge hollow metal frames (Curries Manufacturing), 18-gauge hollow metal doors with polystyrene core, and rotary-cut natural birch veneer wood doors (WDMA compliant) with factory pre-finishing and pre-preparation for hardware installation. Items 1 through 40 must be delivered within seven days of award; remaining items are subject to Project Manager coordination. Delivery is to MDOT Plymouth Camp, 2510 Moosehead Trail, Plymouth, Maine 04969.

Bidders must submit separate unit prices for each item with all transportation charges prepaid unless otherwise specified. The state will award based on best value considering quality, conformity to specifications, delivery dates, and overall economy. Electronic submission is required; quotes close at 2:00 p.m. local time on August 29, 2012. Questions must be submitted through the online portal. Eric Willete (Project Manager, 441-4379) and Rick Gradie (592-1500) serve as primary contacts.
