Orangeburg County School District (OCSD) is seeking qualified contractors for a comprehensive fuel tank infrastructure project through Solicitation #25-006. The procurement involves a turnkey installation of a 12,000-gallon commercial gasoline tank to fuel district vehicles, which requires closing an existing underground storage tank and installing a new above-ground storage tank at 473 Fair Street in Orangeburg, SC. The project demands a comprehensive solution including tank installation, fuel transfer, EPA and DES permit management, and integration with the district's existing Veeder-Root monitoring system. Evaluation criteria will be based on a 100-point scoring system, with cost weighted at 50 points, service at 20 points, and additional considerations including authorized servicing dealer status, warranty, references, and years in business. The proposal submission deadline is October 2, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with a mandatory site visit request deadline of September 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM, which must be scheduled via email to Greg Twitty.
No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The contract will have an initial one-year term with options to extend for up to four additional one-year periods, potentially totaling seven years, contingent upon satisfactory contractor performance. The new tank must include a tracking system with individual user passwords and online access compatibility with the district's computer network. Contractors must provide proof of insurance and comply with various federal and state regulations. While no specific budget range was detailed, vendors will be required to quote a total price covering tank closure, new tank installation, and all associated site work. Prospective bidders must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in environmental remediation, tank infrastructure replacement, and compliance with underground storage tank regulations.
