Augusta Civic Center – Jackson RackStar 44 Right to Left Commercial Dishwasher Purchase and Replacement

The City of Augusta is soliciting sealed bids for the turnkey purchase and replacement of a commercial dishwasher at the Augusta Civic Center. The project requires the procurement, delivery, installation, and commissioning of one Jackson RackStar 44 Right-to-Left Commercial Dishwasher, with no substitutions permitted. The scope of work encompasses all labor and materials, including field verification, utility connections for plumbing, electrical, drainage, and chemical dispensing, as well as the removal and disposal of the existing unit and all project-related debris. All work must be completed by January 15, 2027, and must comply with manufacturer requirements and all applicable local, state, and national codes. Contract award will be based on a best value evaluation rather than lowest cost alone, with scoring distributed equally across cost, time of completion, compliance and technical merit, and comparable experience. The successful bidder must enter into a city-prepared Professional Services Agreement, designate a Project Manager, and adhere to a payment schedule where invoices are paid within 30 days of acceptance. Bidders must submit their sealed proposals by 2:00 p.m. on November 10, 2026, to the Development Services Office in Augusta, Maine. Required certifications include compliance with Executive Order 11246, anti-trust laws, and confirmation that no city employees will profit from the award.
