The Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry (Department) is seeking proposals to provide boundary line maintenance as defined in this Request for Proposal (RFP) document. This document provides instructions for submitting proposals, the procedure and criteria by which the awarded Bidder will be selected, and the contractual terms which will govern the relationship between the State of Maine (State) and the awarded Bidder. The Public Lands portion of the Maine Bureau of Parks & Lands owns over 600,000 acres statewide which requires maintenance of 1,000's of miles of boundary (property) lines. Maintenance of these lines prevents timber trespass and other types of trespasses along with maintaining good relationships with abutters. The ongoing periodic maintenance of these lines prevents the need for costly boundary line surveys to reestablish the lines along with avoiding the aforementioned types of trespass. This is sometimes remote work in rugged terrain. The awarded Bidder will perform the services resulting from this RFP as specified here in Part II. The twenty-five (25) miles of boundary line maintenance as specified in this RFP is to be completed in the Initial Period of Performance. Any subsequent renewal periods, should they be utilized, will be for the completion of additional boundary line maintenance services. Awarded Boynton & Associates
