Request for Fuel Purchasing

The Livingston Educational Service Agency's Regional Transportation Collaborative (RTC) Fuel Consortium in Livingston County, Michigan is seeking bids for an aggregate fuel purchasing program through a Request for Proposal (RFP).

Pricing will be based on the published terminal net rack price plus freight/margin, as well as applicable taxes and fees. Vendors must be licensed wholesale distributors with a fuel facility in Michigan, and will be responsible for any spills or fuel failure issues. Random quality testing will be conducted.
