About this opportunity

The Town of Manchester, Connecticut, located in Hartford County, is seeking to procure motor oils and lubricants through Invitation to Bid #24/25-26 for vehicle and equipment maintenance purposes. The procurement aims to secure one or more vendors capable of supplying a comprehensive range of motor oils and lubricants, with bidders required to carry a full product line and demonstrate the ability to provide a minimum of 50% of the listed items. Specific requirements include supplying specialized oils for various equipment manufacturers such as Volvo, CAT, and John Deere, with 18 line items covering different oil and lubricant types. The bid was released on October 29, 2024, with questions accepted until November 7, 2024, and bid responses due by November 14, 2024, at 11:00 am. The contract term will span from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, with potential annual extensions for up to four additional one-year periods. Evaluation criteria include pricing, product availability, delivery capability within 72 hours, and compliance with manufacturer specifications, with only virgin oils to be accepted.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though bidders must comply with the Manchester Living Wage Ordinance and complete a mandatory Living Wage Certification Form. Vendors must certify their status as a "Covered Employer" and demonstrate compliance with local wage requirements, with potential exemptions for nonprofits, small employers, or contracts under $25,000. The Town reserves the right to adjust order quantities based on budgetary constraints and operational needs. Pricing must be net delivered with no additional freight charges, and the Town is exempt from Connecticut state sales tax and federal excise tax, though Connecticut Gross Receipts tax will be invoiced separately. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the bid and the variety of oil types suggest a potentially significant annual procurement value for the municipality's vehicle and equipment maintenance needs.
