Purchase and Delivery of Propane Quote Number: PUR01226

The County of Bucks, Pennsylvania, is seeking qualified vendors for the purchase and delivery of HD5 Grade propane to support 911 Emergency Communications generators and facilities at various locations, including sites in Bensalem and Bridgeton. The contract is scheduled to begin on or about November 20, 2026, for an initial one-year term, with an option to extend for one additional year and a potential three-month extension by the County to prevent coverage lapses. All deliveries must be made FOB destination via automatic delivery, though the contractor is required to respond to specific delivery or service calls within 24 hours. Equipment repairs are handled on a time and material basis and require prior approval from 911 Emergency Communications. Award evaluation is based on the total bid calculated through the PennBid portal, with a focus on price, technical compliance for alternates, and responsiveness to bid instructions. Bidders must provide a Consent of Surety, as performance and payment bonds totaling 100% of the agreement are required for contracts exceeding $10,000. Mandatory submission documents include a signed IRS Form W9, Certificate of Insurance, and certifications regarding nondiscrimination, sexual harassment, vendor integrity, and worker protection. The successful vendor must comply with Pennsylvania state labor laws, including the Minimum Wage and Prevailing Wage Acts, and maintain general commercial liability insurance with an aggregate limit of $1,000,000.
