#2 Fuel Oil

The Town of Sterling, Massachusetts is seeking sealed bids for the supply and delivery of approximately 15,535 gallons of #2 Fuel Oil, including 6,000 gallons of winter mix diesel, for six municipal buildings from September 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. Sealed bids will be received until 10:00 AM on October 1, 2018, with the contract expected to be awarded on October 3 or October 17, 2018. The Invitation for Bids (IFB) outlines detailed fuel oil specifications, delivery requirements, payment terms, quality control procedures, bidder qualifications, and insurance coverage. Bidders must provide a price per gallon delivered, with the contract to be awarded to the vendor offering the lowest delivered price per gallon. Discounts for prompt payment will be considered to break any bid ties. The Town does not guarantee any minimum purchase quantities, and bidders must submit required bid documents including a certificate of non-collusion, tax compliance, and references.

The IFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The successful bidder will be required to execute a municipal purchase agreement with the Town upon award, but the IFB does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The total estimated value of the contract is not provided, but the IFB indicates the Town's need for approximately 15,535 gallons of #2 Fuel Oil and 6,000 gallons of winter mix diesel for the six-month period.
