RFQ- Supply of (2) Above Ground Fuel Storage Tanks

Clackamas River Water (CRW) has issued a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for the procurement of two (2) Cylindrical UL 2085, 1,000-gallon Above Ground Fuel Storage Tanks, targeting an increase in emergency gasoline and diesel fuel storage capacity at their System Operations Center. The procurement is specifically located in Clackamas County, Oregon, with a focus on the Cheshire Census Designated Place (CDP). The RFQ solicits comprehensive quotes that include total cost and delivery, with vendors required to provide their best-estimated delivery date upon order receipt. The tanks must meet UL 2085 specifications, indicating a need for high-quality, safety-certified fuel storage infrastructure. CRW will be responsible for offloading the tanks at the delivery point. The solicitation was posted on September 7, 2022, with quotes due by September 21, 2022, providing potential vendors approximately two weeks to prepare and submit their responses. No specific evaluation criteria were explicitly detailed in the available documentation.

The RFQ does not mention any specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged business enterprise requirements, or restrictions on vendor participation. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors were identified in the procurement documents. The document also does not specify a precise budget range or award value for the fuel storage tanks. While the procurement is for two 1,000-gallon tanks, no explicit budget constraints were outlined. The lack of detailed financial parameters suggests vendors should prepare competitive quotes based on market rates for UL 2085 certified above-ground fuel storage tanks. The procurement appears to be a straightforward acquisition aimed at enhancing CRW's emergency fuel storage capabilities, with a primary focus on obtaining high-quality, compliant fuel storage infrastructure. Potential vendors should be prepared to provide comprehensive quotes that include total cost, delivery timeline, and tank specifications that meet the UL 2085 safety certification requirements.
