The scope covers preventative maintenance, emergency and routine repairs, and system modernization support for two CNG fueling stations: one at 4001 Branch Center Road serving Fleet Services and one at 6730 Aviation Drive serving Department of Airports. Services include twice-monthly preventative maintenance inspections per a County-approved checklist, 24/7 availability with on-site response within 48 hours for routine calls and 24 hours for emergencies, major services at manufacturer-specified intervals (4000-hour, 8000-hour, and other benchmarks), and engineering support for system upgrades and obsolescence management. All work must be performed by certified CNG technicians using OEM-standard materials (or County-approved alternatives), with 90-day workmanship warranty separate from manufacturer warranties. The contractor supplies all labor, materials, tools, licenses, permits, and insurance.

The initial contract term is one year with County option to extend for up to four additional one-year terms by mutual agreement. The County does not guarantee any specific dollar amount or volume of services and reserves the right to make multiple contract awards if in the County's best interest. Pricing is structured as monthly unit costs for routine inspection and preventative maintenance (excluding materials), hourly labor rates for routine repairs during standard business hours, on-call labor rates and travel charges for urgent repairs with specified minimum hours per call-out, and a percentage discount off manufacturer's suggested retail price for parts and materials.

Proposals are evaluated on a 120-point scale: company background and qualifications (25 points), customer references (15 points), technician qualifications and experience (20 points), parts inventory levels (20 points), understanding of project scope (20 points), and cost (20 points). Contractors must hold current Contractors State License Board certification, Public Works & Prevailing Wage Contractor Registration numbers, comply with prevailing wage requirements, and maintain specified insurance coverage. Contract award is anticipated November 17, 2026.
