About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Sacramento County, acting as the lead agency for the City of Sacramento, is seeking a renewable liquefied natural gas (RLNG) supplier through Request for Bids (RFB) #2022-RFB-0072. The procurement aims to establish a five-year contract for supplying approximately 800,000 gallons of RLNG annually, with current usage of 45,000 gallons per month for the County and 50,000 gallons per month for the City. Vendors must provide 100% RLNG made from organic waste, meeting specific fuel specifications including the Cummins West Methane Specification with a minimum methane number of 75. The bid requires detailed documentation of renewable LNG sources, including plant locations, capacities, and supply agreements. Pricing will be based on a complex methodology incorporating the Southern California Gas Company index, vendor costs, tax rates, and transportation costs. Key submission deadlines include July 19, 2022, for questions and July 29, 2022, at 5:00 pm for bid responses, with an anticipated contract award date of August 5, 2022.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must apply all Federal EPA Renewable Fuel Standard and State Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits towards reducing product costs and will be responsible for conducting regular quality and composition tests. The County reserves the right to become the Regulated Party for Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits and requires vendors to have backup fueling stations with sufficient capacity to meet fuel requirements. Bulk deliveries will be made to the County's North Area Transfer Station and the City's Meadowview Service Center. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the contract covers substantial monthly volumes of 95,000 gallons across both agencies, suggesting a significant annual procurement value. The successful vendor must demonstrate environmental compliance, including procurement of recovered organic waste products and adherence to various environmental and operational standards.
