County awards Keystone diesel contract at $2.92 per gallon, takes other bids under advisement
Summary
At the annual bid opening, commissioners accepted Keystone's $2.92-per-gallon diesel supply contract and voted to take other line-item bids under advisement for two weeks before returning recommendations.
DeKalb County opened its annual bids for materials and services and accepted a contract with Keystone for delivered diesel fuel at a contract price of $2.92 per gallon (taxes and delivery included).
During the bid opening staff read multiple submissions for aggregates, bituminous mixtures, pavement markings and microseal services. Commissioners discussed whether to lock in Keystone’s contract price now or wait two weeks for market movement; staff noted the county budgets for fuel and that Keystone’s bid was below last year’s contract rate. A county staffer described Keystone as a reliable supplier and confirmed the company had the required paperwork.
A commissioner moved to accept Keystone’s $2.92 contract price; another commissioner seconded and the motion carried. Staff were instructed to sign the form and return a final contract. Commissioners then voted to take the remainder of the bids under advisement and asked staff to present recommendations at the next meeting in two weeks.
Next steps: staff will finalize the Keystone contract paperwork and prepare bid summaries and recommendations for the board’s review at the next scheduled meeting.
