Contracted Truck Hauling

The City of Kingsport is seeking a contractor to provide municipal truck‑hauling services. Bids were opened on April 21 2026 and five vendors submitted hourly rates that adjust with diesel fuel price. The rates range from $135/hr at $2.00/gal diesel up to $198/hr at $10.25/gal diesel. The contract will be awarded based on these hourly rates; there is no fixed total contract value disclosed. The scope appears to include asphalt hauling, though American Environmental LLC is expressly excluded from asphalt work. No award decision has been announced, and no contract term or volume of work is detailed. This opportunity is relevant for firms that can provide truck‑hauling (including asphalt) on an hourly‑rate basis and are comfortable with pricing linked to fuel cost fluctuations. • Hourly‑rate pricing tied to diesel price (rates $135–$198 per hour). • Five pre‑qualified vendors listed; no award yet. • Potential inclusion of asphalt hauling (American Environmental excluded). • No disclosed contract ceiling, duration, or volume of work. • Bid opening completed; submission window appears closed unless a new solicitation is issued.
