Fuel Oil Bid

The Bethany-Orange-Woodbridge Regional Purchasing Cooperative is seeking bids for a comprehensive fuel procurement contract covering diesel fuel, medium grade gasoline, and heating oil for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. The solicitation, identified as Bid Number 2022-03, is open to all vendors and covers the municipalities of Bethany, Orange, and Woodbridge in New Haven County, Connecticut. Vendors are required to submit detailed bid documents for each fuel type, including specific specifications and gallon request sheets broken down by participating town. The bid solicitation period runs from December 3, 2021 to December 18, 2021, with a vendor question and answer period from December 3, 2021 to December 15, 2021. Bids must be submitted by December 18, 2021 at 10:00 AM EST, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination. The primary contact for this procurement is Anthony Genovese from the Town of Woodbridge, who can be reached for any inquiries or clarifications during the bidding process.

The solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, suggesting the bid is open to all qualified vendors. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing contractors for this fuel procurement. The documents do not specify an estimated total contract value or budget range, leaving pricing to be determined through the competitive bidding process. Payment terms will be at the discretion of the vendor, and no specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure are mentioned. The lack of detailed line item specifications suggests that pricing and quantity negotiations will be a key part of the vendor selection process. The contract appears to be a collaborative purchasing effort among multiple municipalities to potentially achieve more favorable pricing through a combined procurement approach.
