Board accepts sole bid for heating oil and vehicle fuels
Summary
After outreach to five suppliers, the board accepted the single bid presented for heating oil, diesel, kerosene and 90-octane gasoline (unit prices read into the record). The board voted to accept the bid after confirming solicitation steps.
The Alexandria Town Board opened bids for diesel heating oil and related fuels and found only one responsive proposal after contacting the top suppliers in the area.
The chair read the bid prices into the record: "Heating oil, 2.7264 per gallon with a fixed differential of 0.2395; diesel fuel, 2.9709 per gallon with a differential of 0.1395; kerosene, 3.5709 per gallon with a differential of 0.1395; and non ethylene 90 octane gasoline 2.9883 with a differential of 0.2995." After members confirmed the town had sent individual letters to five suppliers and advertised the request, a motion to accept the single bid carried on a voice vote.
Board members noted the town has rebid in the past when only one proposal was received but decided to accept this submission after confirming due diligence. The board directed staff to proceed with contract steps consistent with the town's procurement rules.
