The contract will commence upon execution and continue for one year, with potential renewals for up to six years total.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for specific types of organizations. Bidders with contract values of $25,000 or more must provide a performance bond with surety. The State of Iowa prefers payment through its Purchasing Card Program and requires FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid shipping with 60-day payment terms. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the fuel tank removal and refill project suggests a significant contract value. Fuel pricing will be based on daily rack rates from DTN Corporation's Des Moines terminal quotations, with federal and state taxes, Superfund Surcharge, and Iowa Environmental Protection Charge on Petroleum Diminution to be itemized separately on invoices.
