Long Lake board approves 2025 bid documents for fuel, propane and HVAC; Oct. 18 due date set
Summary
The board approved bid request documents for fuel oil & kerosene, propane, and HVAC service for calendar year 2025 and directed publication; all proposals are due at the Town Clerk's office by 1:00 p.m. on Oct. 18, 2024. Documents include county 'piggyback' language.
At its Sept. 25 meeting the Town Board approved three separate 2025 bid request packages: Fuel Oil & Kerosene, Propane Delivery, and HVAC Service. Each resolution directed publishing of bid documents and set a common due date of Oct. 18, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. at the Town Clerk's office.
The Fuel Oil & Kerosene and Propane bid solicitations include language allowing Hamilton County to 'piggyback' on any resulting contract. All three resolutions were adopted unanimously. The board instructed the Town Clerk to publish notices in the town's approved media and posting locations as required.
Why it matters: approving and publishing the request-for-bid documents begins the procurement cycle for essential heating fuels and service contracts for town facilities in 2025. The piggyback clause allows the county to utilize the town's awarded contract, potentially increasing competition and economies of scale.
Next steps: vendors have until Oct. 18, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. to submit proposals to the Town Clerk's office.
