Scope of Work

The City of Jacksonville Beach is seeking competitive quotations for fuel to be supplied over a twelve (12) month period with the option to renew for two (2) additional years at the same prices, terms and conditions unless otherwise noted.

The Contractor will provide gasoline, fuel oil and/or Biodiesel per the following specifications:

· E10 Unleaded, 87 Octane-10% Ethanol

Gasoline, unleaded, antiknock (octane) index minimum 87 (RON + MON)/2, maximum allowable lead 0.05 gram per gallon, and volatility class suitable for Florida at time of scheduled use, per A.S.T.M. specification D4814, complying with state of Florida gasoline inspection laws. To be delivered as ordered via tanker.

· Diesel Fuel, Grade No. 2- Red Dyed Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel (REV 13 OCT 06)

Oil, diesel fuel, grade no. 2-D ultra low sulfur fuel (.0015 mass % sulfur, 40 centane min.), for use in over the road diesel engine, per A.S.T.M. specification D975, complying with Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services standards 5F-2.001. To be delivered as ordered via tank wagon.

Conventional Gasoline: Low Reid Vapor Pressure Gasoline (7.8 psi RVP) is gasoline with a decreased evaporation rate and lower volatility than conventional gasoline (9.0 psi RVP). Low-RVP gasoline is used to reduce evaporative emissions, and thus decrease volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.

Florida uses conventional 9.0 RVP gasoline throughout the state year round with the exception in six counties, one being Duval County that have a low-RVP program during the summer months. The low-RVP program starts in June and runs through September of each year. The lower RVP will decrease the evaporative emissions from the gasoline thereby decreasing VOC emissions in these counties. The decrease in RVP will help considerably with evaporative emissions.

DURATION OF BID AWARD:

The duration of any bid award that results from this Invitation to Bid should not exceed a period of more than one year from the date of execution unless otherwise stated with a renewal option.

The approximate contract and award date will be July 16, 2012. The anticipated award date is 30 – 60 days from the current bid opening date.

The City of Jacksonville Beach reserves the right to negotiate with the awarded vendor or to rebid. (The City of Jacksonville Beach will be held harmless if its governmental office is not funded for any subsequent purchase prior to beginning of contract period)
