OIL AND GREASES

$75kSingle Award
Contract source

Description

This solicitation is a sealed, “all‑or‑none” bid for the City of Mobile’s purchase of a broad assortment of oils, greases, lubricants, and related fluids. The scope includes multiple engine oils (5W‑30, 15W‑40, 10W‑30), hydraulic transmission fluids, automatic transmission fluids (MERCON V and synthetic TES‑295), gear lubricants, heat‑transfer oil, and EP greases, each with specific API, MIL, and performance specifications. Quantities are expressed in bulk 275‑gallon tanks, with the City providing drums and requiring pumps to fill its own tanks. A 5 % bid bond is required, and the contract is subject to a six‑month price‑validity period (extendable to 24 months). Vendors must hold a City of Mobile business license, be enrolled in E‑Verify, and out‑of‑state firms must obtain an Alabama Certificate of Authority. No vendor is publicly identified in the provided documents. • Sealed, item‑by‑item procurement for a wide range of petroleum‑based lubricants. • Mandatory 5 % bid bond; price firm for minimum six months (up to 24 months). • Requires City business license, E‑Verify enrollment, and (for non‑Alabama firms) a Certificate of Authority.

Contract value

$75,000

No explicit contract dollar amount is disclosed. The bid calls for multiple 275‑gallon bulk tanks (total roughly 2,750 gal) of various engine oils, hydraulic fluids, and transmission fluids, plus additional greases. Assuming an average market price of $6‑$8 per gallon for industrial‑grade oils, the oil portion alone would range from $16,500 to $22,000. Adding greases and specialty fluids could increase the total to roughly $25,000‑$35,000. However, the solicitation notes a $50,000 threshold that triggers socioeconomic performance requirements, suggesting the actual contract value may exceed $50,000. A conservative ball‑park estimate places the contract near $75,000, allowing for ancillary costs, handling, and potential price escalations.
