ESTR - Diesel Fuel, Dyed, Delivered

The State of Alabama, specifically the Department of Corrections at Easterling Correctional Facility, is soliciting bids for the delivery of dyed diesel fuel. The contract is designed for a maximum duration of five years with a total cost not to exceed $25,000, including all renewals. The scope of work requires the supplier to deliver new, first-class fuel within three days of a customer order request. The State maintains strict quality standards, and the supplier is held liable for any damages resulting from fuel that does not meet specifications or is found to be damaging to fuel tanks. Bidders must submit responses electronically through the Alabama Buys portal. Evaluation is based on price reasonableness and cost realism, with the State reserving the right to request professional licenses, certificates of insurance, and manufacturer reseller authorizations. Key compliance requirements include E-Verify documentation, which must be provided within five calendar days of notification to avoid bid rejection. The contract is subject to Alabama law, with the City of Montgomery serving as the sole venue for litigation, and the Board of Adjustment of the State of Alabama acting as the remedy for money disputes. The State is exempt from paying sales tax under the Code of Alabama.
