Bulk Fuel and Lubricants-Countywide

Description

Gila County is seeking one qualified, responsible fuel and lubricant distributor to supply bulk gasoline, diesel, and lubricants to all County fleet fueling sites countywide, spanning Globe, Tonto Basin, Payson, and Young, Arizona. This is a proven, ongoing contract need--the County has purchased fuel and lubricants under a similar arrangement for several years--and represents a stable, recurring revenue opportunity for the awarded Contractor, with fuel pricing tied transparently to published O.P.I.S. rack rates plus a fixed delivery margin.This is a single, non-severable award: the County is seeking one Contractor capable of supplying and delivering all bulk fuel to both the Copper Region (Globe, Tonto Basin) and Timber Region (Payson, Young, Buckhead Mesa Landfill), as well as the full range of lubricant products--engine oils, hydraulic fluids, coolants, and greases--used across the County's fleet. Bidders must submit pricing for the entire scope described in this solicitation; partial bids covering only certain sites, only fuel, or only lubricants will not be considered responsive. In exchange, the awarded Contractor gains a single, countywide contract covering all of the County's bulk fuel and lubricant needs--one point of contact, one set of invoices, and one relationship with the County across every fleet site.The County values reliability as much as price: consistent on-time delivery, accurate documentation, and responsiveness to the operational realities of a large, geographically diverse rural county are central to this contract. Given the countywide scope, vendors should be prepared to demonstrate sufficient delivery capacity and equipment to reliably service sites across both regions simultaneously, along with a strong track record of dependable service and a solid plan for maintaining supply to more remote sites. Vendors who can meet this full scope are encouraged to bid.
