Request for Quotes (RFQ): Supply and Delivery of Petroleum Products and Hydraulic Fluid

The County of San Benito Public Works Department is seeking quotes from qualified vendors for the supply and delivery of petroleum products and hydraulic fluid for an initial three-year term. The contract involves the delivery of unleaded gasoline (minimum 87 octane), ultra-low sulfur diesel, clear renewable diesel meeting ASTM D975, and hydraulic fluid for heavy-duty equipment. Deliveries are to be made to the Roads Department in Hollister, California, with a requirement for regularly scheduled monthly deliveries and as-needed deliveries within 24 hours of a request. Because the County utilizes gravity tanks, the selected vendor must be a licensed pumper fuel supplier. Estimated monthly quantities include 6,500 gallons of unleaded gasoline, 1,000 gallons of ULSD, 1,250 gallons of clear renewable diesel, and 100 gallons of hydraulic fluid. Award decisions will be based on the overall best value, evaluating delivery capability, compliance, and price, with a 3% local preference for goods up to 500,000 dollars and a preference for California-made materials. Vendors must maintain DIR registration, prevailing wage compliance, and comprehensive general and excess public liability and property damage insurance of 1,000,000 dollars. All products must be free from contamination and accompanied by current Safety Data Sheets. Quotations are due by October 2, 2026, via the OpenGov portal.
