1500 Gallon Used Oil Tank

The City of Craig in Colorado is seeking bids for a 1500 Gallon Used Oil Tank for its Solid Waste Department, with a procurement process that requires detailed technical specifications and comprehensive vendor submissions. The solicitation calls for a new, double-wall tank with specific technical requirements including a 6" E-Vent, 7-gallon spill container, clock gauge with overfill alarm, suction stub for oil removal, tank vents, and leak gauge. Vendors must meticulously annotate each technical specification as "meets," "exceeds," "does not meet," or "not applicable" and provide complete printed literature, publications, and photographs of the proposed unit. Bid submissions are due by 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at City Hall located at 300 West Fourth Street in Craig, with the bid award scheduled for the May 27th City Council meeting. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids, re-bid, or negotiate, and will determine the most appropriate equipment based on comprehensive evaluation beyond just the lowest bid price.

The procurement opportunity does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The bid packet requires vendors to submit a total price that includes installation and shipping, along with an expected delivery timeline and comprehensive company information. While no specific budget range is disclosed, vendors must provide a signed agreement acknowledging bid specifications and warranty capabilities. The City of Craig will be responsible for removing the existing tank and assisting with unloading the new tank, while the awarded bidder will handle installation, vents, alarms, gauges, and associated state paperwork. The procurement is specific to Otero County, Colorado, and targets a specialized equipment need for the municipal Solid Waste Department, suggesting a focused and technical procurement process with precise equipment requirements.
