10-2025-027 Natural gas supply

Bartow County School System is seeking a natural gas supply vendor through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 10-2025-027, soliciting bids for a comprehensive 12-month natural gas supply contract covering seven school locations, including Allatoona Elementary, Emerson Elementary, Euharlee Elementary, Mission Road Elementary, Taylorsville Elementary, Red Top Middle, and Woodland Middle. The procurement requires a two-part, fixed-rate pricing structure with a consistent per-therm price throughout the contract term, which will run from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with potential renewal options for three additional years. Key deliverables include monthly Excel spreadsheets tracking gas usage per meter, consolidated billing, and the ability to supply natural gas to all current and future Bartow County School System locations on the AGLC distribution system. Proposals are due on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 10:00 am, with contract award expected by 2:00 pm on Wednesday, May 21, 2025. The school system will only invoice commodity charges and AGL Base Charges, maintaining a tax-exempt status, and reserves the right to reject any or all proposals submitted.

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the documentation. The school system requires that the successful bidder be capable of providing natural gas service without requiring deposits for account establishment. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the contract covering seven school locations suggests a substantial procurement opportunity. The contract allows for potential expansion to future Bartow County School System locations connected to the AGLC distribution system, which could provide additional value for the selected vendor. The fixed-rate pricing structure indicates a desire for pricing stability and predictability throughout the contract term. No specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology are mentioned beyond the requirement to provide monthly usage tracking via Excel spreadsheets.
