Committee advances single-bid replacement of two fleet tube heaters
Summary
Finance staff recommended awarding an RFP for two fleet tube heaters to Dead River Company after outreach found few interested vendors; the bid was below the FY26 budget.
The Bangor City Finance Committee on Oct. 6 recommended awarding a contract for replacement of two fleet tube heaters to Dead River Company, the sole bidder.
Staff said they issued an RFP and reached out to multiple vendors; only Dead River submitted a proposal. The firm’s bid was reported at $32,003.14 and the FY26 budget for the work was $50,000. The contractor will remove and dispose of the old heaters as part of the contract. A motion to recommend award was moved and seconded and the committee proceeded without recorded objection.
Committee members commented they appreciated staff reaching out to other vendors prior to the RFP. The committee advanced the recommendation subject to standard procurement review.
