Saale of Misc. Water Tanks

Clarendon County Procurement Services is conducting a Sale of Property (SOP # 2024-017) for surplus water tanks located in the Manning area. The procurement involves selling eight water tanks of varying sizes and materials, specifically four galvanized 3'x 6' tanks (350 gallons each), one steel 4'x 15' tank (1,500 gallons), two steel 6'x 24' tanks (5,000 gallons each), and one steel 8'x 26' tank (10,000 gallons). The tanks will be sold "as is" from their current location, with the buyer responsible for removing them within ten calendar days after payment. The solicitation requires interested parties to submit individual prices for each tank type, with an 8% South Carolina sales tax to be added to the final bid price. Key deadlines include a question submission deadline of Friday, April 4th, 2025, and a proposal submission deadline of Thursday, April 10th, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST. A Certificate of Insurance must be provided prior to the Notice to Proceed, though no bid bonds are required.

The county reserves significant discretion in the procurement process, including the right to accept or reject any offers, negotiate with qualified offerors, or cancel the solicitation entirely. There are specific restrictions on bidder eligibility, notably that no offer will be considered from any person or business owing taxes to Clarendon County. The procurement emphasizes equal opportunity principles and does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, bidders will have the opportunity to propose prices for individual tanks, allowing for flexible pricing strategies. The county's approach suggests a straightforward sale process with minimal complex evaluation criteria, focusing primarily on fair market value and the ability of the buyer to remove the tanks efficiently and in compliance with county requirements.
