State seeks natural gas bids again
The state has renewed its search for a natural gas provider in the Kennebec Valley, issuing a new request for proposals on Wednesday.
The Kennebec Journal reported the state’s Bureau of General Services is seeking a natural gas provider for state-owned buildings in Augusta, Hallowell, Waterville and Vassalboro.
A previous attempt to find a natural gas supplier for those state buildings ended in conflict after Summit Natural Gas of Maine contested a contract award to the Brunswick-based Iberdrola subsidiary Maine Natural Gas. The state rescinded its award decision late last year because an appeals board found the state’s request for proposal was not clear about the scope of the project.
Since that time, both companies have been jockeying for corporate and municipal clients in the Kennebec Valley, where construction of two separate natural gas networks is under way.
