RFQ-27-002 Transportation Fuels

Union County Board of Education is requesting quotations for non-ethanol gasoline and on-road diesel fuel under RFQ-27-002, with bids due July 16, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. and public opening at 1:30 p.m. the same day. Price increases throughout the contract period are not permitted — a binding cost-control constraint.

The scope covers delivery of approximately 32,000 gallons of non-ethanol gasoline (87- and 89-octane) and 36,000 gallons of on-road diesel annually to the Union County School System's fueling facility at 202 Beasley Circle, Blairsville, Georgia. The facility has above-ground storage tanks with 4,000-gallon gasoline and 6,000-gallon diesel capacity; average load deliveries range from 7,000 to 7,500 gallons. Delivery is by truck with pumping capability; bobtail and tanker trucks are accommodated. Bidders must quote all fees and charges, including daily rack prices, freight, fuel surcharges, federal and state environmental taxes and fees (LUST, oil spill, superfund, state environmental, Georgia state taxes), and delivery fees. Bidders must provide terminal location, pricing date, and copies of applicable insurance coverage with their quotations.

The contract term is one year, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with no renewal options. Contract award will be made at the first available board meeting following the public opening. The Union County Board of Education reserves the right to accept or reject any bid, accept any combination of items, waive informalities, and cancel the agreement at any time regardless of reason. Bids may be submitted by mail or hand delivery with prior approval, addressed to David Murphy at the Union County Board of Education.
