Description

1.GENERAL INFORMATION This is a COMBINED SYNOPSIS / SOLICITATION for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. The National Park Service contemplates award of a firm fixed price contract as a result of this combined synopsis/solicitation to the vendor; providing the best value to the Government. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation issued as Request for Quotation-P12PS22991. FAR clauses and provisions enclosed within this RFQ are available in full text through Internet access at http:// www.acquisition.gov/far/. This RFQ is for full and open competition. Any firm wishing to submit a proposal must have a current GSA Schedule contract for the sale of propane, as any procurements for the supply of propane can only be made to the ownership of leased tanks. All concerns may submit a quotation which shall be considered by the National Park Service (NPS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 454312 and the small business size standard is 50 employees. 2.REQUIREMENT Grand Teton National Park will be requiring the rental of approximately 74 propane tanks for NPS owned buildings at a variety of locations within the park. The intent of the solicitation is to rent the tanks for one year with the option to rent for up to 4 additional years. Per Wyoming regulations, once the tanks are rented from the successful vendor, fuel will be purchased from this vendor for the duration of the contract per a negotiated GSA Contract rate. It is estimated that 100,000 gallons will be purchased for Administrative Buildings per year, and about the same amount from individual residents. Tentative Schedule: The first year of the contract shall be effective September 1, 2012-August 30, 2013. There are a variety of tanks and deliveries in the Park. The vendor will provide tanks for rental, and there are NPS owned tanks for which fuel will be purchased. Tanks may be placed at individual buildings, or may be configured to serve as distribution point into which the vendor shall provide fuel and bill on a metered basis as the fuel is dispensed. Tanks at employee housing areas are either NPS or vendor owned. It is expected that government meters will be used where available, and that th same number of meters currently provided by the incumbent vendor will be provided by the successful offeror. Currently, employee fuel approximates the NPS rates. This is not a requirement of this solicitation, but it is expected that rates should approximate those at NPS administrative buildings, as delivery quantities approximate time and volume of those for government administrative buildings. Tanks are as follows with a listing of sizes in the Price Schedule.
