RFP - Small Remediation Treatment Systems

The Maine Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Remediation and Waste Management is requesting proposals for design, construction, installation, operation, maintenance, monitoring, and decommissioning of small remediation treatment systems for petroleum spill remediation across three regional offices, with proposals due September 18, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. The Department anticipates three separate awards—one each for the Southern Maine Regional Office, the Central Maine Regional Office, and a combined Eastern and Northern Maine Regional Offices award.

Eligible bidders must hold a Limited Electrician or Unlimited Master Electrician license for Maine, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 24-hour HAZWOPER training, and potentially a Non-Hazardous Waste Transporter Category A license. Scope covers design and construction of mobile treatment system trailers and small remediation systems including pump-and-treat and vapor control systems; mobilization, installation, operation, maintenance, monitoring, inspection, and demobilization; carpentry and electrical work for structural restoration of petroleum-contaminated building materials; and decontamination services. Most projects involve residential remediation of #2 fuel oil or K-1 contamination.

The initial contract period runs October 15, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with two optional two-year renewal periods extending through June 30, 2031. Rate sheets must include hourly rates for Environmental Technician/Laborer, Foreman, and Electrician positions (including overtime), vehicle rental rates, and equipment rental rates, with markup not to exceed 10 percent on materials, rental items, and subcontractors. Evaluation uses a 100-point scale: 25 points for Organization Qualifications and Experience, 25 points for Proposed Services, and 50 points for Cost Proposal, calculated by formula where the lowest bid receives 50 points. The Department will score cost proposals using cost scenario rating sheets based on three typical projects in each region. Questions are due September 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Proposals must remain valid for 180 days from bid opening. No best and final offer will be requested.
