The scope covers LP gas supply and maintenance across all district locations—schools, facilities, day care homes, field houses, horticulture classrooms, and greenhouses, excluding concession stands at athletic fields and employee residential campus houses. The vendor must service equipment at seven locations: Northeast High School, Northeast Elementary School, Southeast High School, Southeast Middle School, West Lauderdale High School, West Lauderdale Elementary School, and the School Bus Garage. Tank inventory includes three 10,000-gallon tanks, three 1,000-gallon tanks, three 1,500-gallon tanks, six 500-gallon tanks, and four 250-gallon tanks. The estimated total propane requirement is approximately 70,000 gallons. The Lauderdale County School District owns all tanks except the three 1,500-gallon tanks at West Lauderdale Elementary School, which are owned and rented annually by Sanders Gas.

The contract term is 24 months, from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2028. All pricing must be a firm, fixed rate per gallon for the entire 24-month period with no price adjustments permitted. No proposal may be withdrawn for 60 days after the scheduled opening. The Lauderdale County Board of Education reserves the right to accept or reject any and all proposals and waives informalities in the bidding process.
