Description
The State of Maine is soliciting bids for a single 3.5‑yard hydrostatic‑drive wheel loader equipped with a 25‑foot powered boom, plus optional mulcher and brush‑cutter attachments. The loader must meet detailed mechanical, hydraulic, emission, and safety specifications, include a 12‑month warranty (with optional extensions), and be delivered FOB‑Destination to the Maine DOT Fleet Service in Augusta, ME. The vendor must also provide on‑site training (minimum four hours) and maintain service facilities within 75 mi of the State’s regional hubs. Bids are evaluated on compliance first and then price; the lowest qualified bid for the loader + boom wins, while optional items are priced separately but not considered in the award.
