Precast Temporary Concrete Barriers

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Division of Procurement Services, is requesting quotations for precast temporary concrete barriers across six regional delivery locations, with quotations due October 5, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

The scope covers supply of precast temporary concrete barriers delivered to six designated regional sites: Topsham (Southern Region), West Gardiner (Mid Coast Region), Farmington (Western Region), Bangor (Eastern Region), Presque Isle (Northern Region), and Houlton (Northern Region). All pricing must be submitted on a net FOB Destination basis with transportation charges prepaid by the contractor.

The estimated annual usage is approximately $27,000 based on historical spending. The contract term runs from November 1, 2018 through October 31, 2019, with two optional one-year renewal periods extending through October 31, 2021. Pricing must remain firm for 180 days from bid opening and throughout the contract term.

Evaluation will be conducted on a best-value basis with lowest price among conforming bidders as the primary award criterion. Maine's Business and Economic Impact Consideration provisions allow for up to a 10 percent reduction in a bidder's submitted price for comparison purposes based on Maine employment and economic impact metrics. The State reserves the right to reject the lowest-price bidder if that bidder has documented poor performance or a terminated or non-renewed contract within the previous five years.

All bids must include a cost response sheet in Excel format and be submitted through the State's electronic procurement system, Advantage Vendor Self Service (VSS). The State is exempt from federal, state, and local taxes and requests quotations excluding these taxes. No bidders' conference or site visit is scheduled.
