Unleaded Gasoline

The contract with the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) seeks a consistent supplier of unleaded gasoline to support the daily operations of its non-diesel fleet vehicles and associated equipment. This fuel provision is critical for maintaining uninterrupted transit services, facilitating maintenance activities, and ensuring operational readiness across RTA’s facilities. Currently, gasoline is stored in tanks at the 600 Longworth Street location, but during the contract’s term, RTA plans to expand its storage capacity by installing two additional 15,000-gallon tanks at a new facility on 701 Longworth Street. This expansion is expected to enhance on-site fuel availability and potentially reduce delivery frequency. The contractual agreement is governed by a comprehensive set of general terms and conditions that define key responsibilities and obligations, including payment procedures, record maintenance, tax exemptions, audit rights, and insurance mandates. The contract sets forth clear provisions regarding the scope of work, performance timelines, payment methods, termination rights, and compliance with federal and local regulations, including equal employment opportunity and disadvantaged business enterprise participation requirements. The agreement establishes a legally binding relationship designed to ensure the contractor’s full performance and adherence to all applicable standards, while providing RTA with the necessary contractual protections and mechanisms for oversight. The contract solicitation, identified as GD 26-08, is managed through RTA’s procurement office in Dayton, Ohio, with the primary point of contact being the Senior Purchasing Agent.
