About this opportunity
The Maine Department of Transportation is requesting bids for ultra low sulfur diesel fuel to supply the Captain Henry Lee ferry vessel operating between Bass Harbor and Swans Island, with bids due December 21, 2010, and a six-month contract term running through June 30, 2011.
The fuel must meet ASTM D975 specifications: 15 PPM ultra low sulfur diesel, minimum 45 cetane rating, maximum 0.05 percent water and sediment, and seasonal cloud and pour points. Deliveries occur on a Tuesday schedule at 10:15 AM at Bass Harbor dock, with the vessel consuming 1,500 to 2,400 gallons weekly over an estimated 40,000-gallon six-month period. Contractors must provide legible metered delivery tickets certified by the Maine Department of Weights and Measures within 24 to 36 hours of delivery, with invoices due within 36 hours to Maine Department of Transportation Fleet Services in Augusta. Original invoices only are acceptable for payment.
Pricing is quoted as a fixed margin over the OPIS rack price as of December 21, 2010, including mark-up and transportation costs. Contractors must submit quarterly reports to the Division of Purchases within 15 days of each quarter's end summarizing deliveries and contract year-to-date totals. The MaineDOT reserves the right to conduct spot testing of supplied fuel to verify quality compliance and may cancel the contract if delivered fuel does not meet specifications. The ferry service operates 363 days per year, making on-time delivery critical to maintain departure schedules.
