RFP 2025-1023-001 Fuel

Morgan County, Colorado has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP 2025-1023-001) for comprehensive fuel procurement across multiple county locations. The solicitation seeks bids for three specific fuel types: Unleaded Gasoline (Midgrade), Number 2 Diesel, and Winterblend Diesel Fuel to be delivered to six county sites including Fort Morgan, Weldona, Wiggins, Landfill, Snyder Tank, and Brush. The procurement is scheduled for a six-month period from November 1, 2025, through April 30, 2026, with an estimated total fuel usage of approximately 167,500 gallons. Proposals are due by 4:00 p.m. MST on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, with a public proposal opening at 9:00 a.m. MST on Thursday, October 23, 2025. Evaluation criteria will include price, product quality, vendor experience, and overall best interests of Morgan County, with the Board of County Commissioners making the final award determination.

The county has implemented specific geographical and procedural restrictions for this procurement, limiting bids to vendors within a 100-mile radius and requiring delivery to all listed locations. Bidders must provide a fixed "reseller's price" based on the average Denver rack price from the OPIS report and include current environmental and federal fees in their submission. The county reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities without adjusting bid prices and may grant a 5% preference to local businesses. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the procurement allows for flexibility in vendor selection. Storage capacities at the various sites range from 500 to 12,000 gallons, and vendors must provide a standard manufacturer's warranty. Although the exact budget range is not specified, the total estimated fuel procurement volume suggests a significant contract value for the six-month period.
