This is a bid cover and tabulation document for the L.P. Gas Fueling Station at Lakeland Service Facility (Tenoroc) term contract, a procurement by a Florida school district. The project involves providing a complete turn-key propane fueling system via lease arrangement for the district's school bus fleet. The bid was opened on February 22, 2017 at 3:00 p.m., with Harold Hamby serving as the opening official and Johnnie Butler as witness. The bid tabulation and evaluation were conducted by Harold Hamby and Scott Reeves. The contract encompasses four bid items: L.P. gas provision at a fixed fee markup per gallon with a quantity of 40,000 gallons, emergency fueling service at Tenoroc Station (4 call-outs), in-county emergency fueling service (4 call-outs), and out-of-county emergency fueling service (2 call-outs).

AmeriGas Propane L.P., located at 29216 Highway 27, Dundee, Florida 33838, was awarded the contract with a total composite bid of $27,100.00, submitting a bid price of $0.66 per gallon for the primary L.P. gas service, $50.00 per call-out for emergency fueling at Tenoroc Station, $50.00 per call-out for in-county emergency service, and $150.00 per call-out for out-of-county emergency service. The competing bidder, Ferrellgas L.P., based at 4901 W. Knollwood Street, Tampa, Florida 33634, submitted a higher composite bid of $28,800.00 with a unit price of $0.72 per gallon. Both vendors were noted as having their principal place of business outside Florida and therefore did not qualify for local preference consideration. Nine entities received bid documents, with AmeriGas Propane L.P. and Ferrellgas L.P. being the only documented bidders submitting signed bids with attachments and addenda on February 22, 2017.
