The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority is requesting proposals for the seasonal lease of five (5) reserve, 2,000 gallon, on-site non-highway diesel fuel tanks with an optional sixth (6th) reserve, 2,000 gallon, on-site non-highway diesel fuel tank as listed in the table below in General Requirements. These are to be placed at (3) three different plants (two plants will need two tanks), and the optional tank will potentially be placed at a fourth (4th) location, to give us sufficient coverage; and to have reliable fuel sources for our generators. Seasonal being June 1st – November 30th. We reserve the right to extend these service dates, should the need arise, through mutual agreement with the Supplier. The Supplier (also known as the Bidder) of the tanks must have sufficient means and methods to provide the necessary fuels for the tanks, both in ordinary and in emergency situations. Emergency situation deliveries being defined as less than 24 hours’ notice due to a declared event. The Supplier must be capable of pumping and delivering fuel from their terminal even if the local power utility (Duke Progress Energy) fails.
