Supply and delivery of propane and service

The Plymouth Public Schools in Massachusetts is procuring the supply and delivery of propane and propane equipment service for the period from February 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026. The procurement is being conducted through an Invitation for Bids (IFB) process. The IFB includes details on the delivery specifications, supply availability, required products, and quality requirements. Bidders must submit prices for operating expenses and profit, hourly labor rates for regular and after-hours service, and percentage added to parts costs. The award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest operating expenses and profit price per gallon of propane, lowest hourly rates for regular and after-hours service, and lowest percentage added to parts cost. Bids are due by 2:00 PM on January 17, 2024, and the contract will be awarded within 14 days after the bid opening.

The IFB encourages bids from qualified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) firms. The IFB also includes a sample contract agreement that outlines the terms and conditions of the engagement. While no incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, the Town requires the winning bidder to email the price sheet to the Town weekly on a bi-monthly basis or as they are received by the vendor. The IFB does not provide any information on the possible award values or budget ranges.
