D01 Fuel Equipment Repairs

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking qualified bidders for fuel tank and dispensing equipment maintenance and repairs across District 1, which encompasses Allen, Defiance, Hancock, Hardin, Paulding, Putnam, Van Wert, and Wyandot counties. The procurement focuses on maintenance services for Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs) with various types of dispensing equipment at multiple ODOT district locations. Potential contractors must demonstrate technical expertise in fuel system repair and maintenance, with the ability to service different types of fuel infrastructure. The solicitation requires bidders to submit comprehensive proposals addressing their capabilities, technical approach, and compliance with state requirements. Key submission deadlines include a proposal due date of October 10, 2025, with questions directed to Tony Lotz at 419-999-6791. Bidders must carefully review the line item specifications and complete all required documentation, including the Affirmation and Disclosure Form and adherence to the Purchasing Standard Terms and Conditions.

The contract opportunity appears to be open to qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations, though contractors must comply with strict state requirements regarding service locations and data management. Vendors must fully disclose their principal business locations, service performance locations, and data handling practices, with explicit prohibitions on offshore service delivery. The procurement includes mandatory compliance with Executive Orders related to service and data location, with potential contract termination for unauthorized offshore activities. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage and demonstrate non-discrimination compliance across multiple operational domains. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the multi-county scope suggests a potentially significant contract value. Successful bidders will need to navigate complex regulatory requirements, including detailed location disclosures, federal civil rights compliance, and stringent performance standards outlined in the ODOT Purchasing Standard Terms and Conditions document.
