Board approves annual fuel bids and authorizes contracts with low bidders

Rockbridge County staff told the Board of Supervisors on July 28 that the county issued an invitation for bids on May 30 for delivery of petroleum products (vehicle and equipment fuels) for the fiscal year and that nine vendors submitted bids. The IFB was posted on the county website and the Virginia eProcurement (EVA) portal for one month.

A resolution attached to the board packet identified the low bidder in each category and authorized the county administrator to execute contract documents with the respective vendors, subject to form approval by the county attorney. Staff recommended approval and the board voted to adopt the resolution.

Ending: Staff will sign contracts with the low bidders and manage fuel delivery contracts for the fiscal year under the authority granted by the resolution; no additional details on vendor names or pricing were discussed on the record at the meeting.
