Fuel dispenser system at dreher island

The South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism is seeking bids for a fuel dispenser system installation at Dreher Island State Park through an Invitation for Bid solicitation. The project requires acquiring and installing a twin one-product remote dispenser island-oriented system with specific technical components, including a tank monitoring system with printer, external thermal paper printer, color LCD touch screen display, and associated piping, hoses, shear valves, breakaways, and nozzles. The fuel dispenser will be located approximately 150 feet from the tackle shop on the end of a floating courtesy dock, with fuel lines, electrical, and fiber optic internet routed underneath the docks. The solicitation was issued on October 11, 2022, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for October 20, 2022, at 10:30 AM EST at the park location. Potential bidders must submit questions by October 20, 2022, at 5:00 PM EST, and offers must be submitted online by October 26, 2022, at 3:30 PM EST, with award notification planned for October 28, 2022.

The procurement includes specific South Carolina preference provisions that may provide advantages to resident vendors, contractors, and subcontractors who can demonstrate in-state employee presence. Offerors claiming preferences must comply with Section 11-35-1524 of the South Carolina Code of Laws and provide documentation of in-state employees or subcontractors. All proposed items must be new, and the contractor will be responsible for obtaining necessary licenses and permits. The state will provide limited site preparation through park staff, area closure during installation, and access to power and fiber optic internet. Technical support must be available within hours of request, and delivery is required within 30 days of purchase order receipt. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, bidders must provide separate pricing for materials and labor, with all installation costs included in the bid. Manufacturers' latest literature with complete product specifications must accompany offers, and all payments will be subject to applicable South Carolina tax laws and nonresident contractor withholding requirements.
