This document is Addendum #3 for the Lubbock County Invitation to Bid (ITB) 25705 for Gasoline & Diesel Fuels - Annual Pricing, issued on August 20, 2025. The addendum provides detailed responses to 23 vendor questions regarding fuel procurement, including delivery specifications, fuel types, and contract details. Key points include the anticipated contract award date of September 8, 2025, with orders starting 10/01/2025 and current fuel contracts expiring on 09/30/2025. The contract covers fuel deliveries for Lubbock County Facilities, with an average order size of 1,000 gallons for on and off-road diesel, and 400 for unleaded fuel. Fuel delivery frequency is once a year, and the service truck will pick up off-road diesel at the vendor's location.

The addendum specifies technical requirements for the fuel, including a cetane range between 45-55 for diesel, acceptance of biodiesel, and confirmation that no additives are required. The county will use dyed diesel for generators, and subcontracting is allowed as long as deliveries remain consistent. Multiple vendors were awarded in the 2024 bid, with Walker Sims identified as a current delivery vendor. The bid will not be broadcast via Zoom or conference call, and successful bidders will be notified via email with bid summary posted on the Lubbock County website. No special tank fittings are required, and common carriers are not considered subcontractors.
