Description
The State of Maine’s Department of Environmental Protection is establishing a pre‑qualified vendor list (PQVL) for the installation of sub‑slab depressurization systems (SSDS) that mitigate vapor intrusion from petroleum fuel spills in residential structures. Vendors must possess a Maine Limited Electrician or Unlimited Master Electrician license (or subcontract the licensed work), demonstrate recent experience with similar vapor‑mitigation projects, and submit comprehensive qualification documentation. Once on the PQVL, vendors will be eligible for “mini‑bid” opportunities on individual SSDS projects across the state for a five‑year term, with annual updates required for insurance, licensing, and rates. The solicitation opens July 13 2026 and closes August 3 2026; questions are due July 21 2026.
• Core scope: installation of sub‑slab depressurization systems to prevent contaminated soil gas entry into homes.
• Eligibility: Maine electrician license (limited or master), three recent SSDS or comparable vapor‑mitigation projects, required insurance and rate sheets.
• Contract period: effective September 1 2026 through August 31 2031, with yearly compliance updates.
• Post‑award: vendors receive project‑specific mini‑bids; the lowest‑price qualified vendor is typically selected, except in emergencies.
• Administrative: all proposals submitted via the Vendor Self‑Service System; questions via VSS by July 21 2026.
