Cardlock Fueling

The County of Tuolumne, through its General Services Agency, (County), along with the Tuolumne County Transportation Council, (TCTC), and the Tuolumne County Transit Agency, (TCTA), are seeking proposals from qualified firms (Contractor) for cardlock fueling services with said services to be provided by Contractor at a site(s) within reasonable proximity to Sonora, California. The services requested will include providing access to a cardlock dispensing system. Contractor will provide both unleaded gasoline and clear diesel fuel for use by any or all vehicles/equipment operated by County, TCTC and/or TCTA. These services must be available and be provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days per year. Contractor’s fueling sites must meet all applicable federal, state and/or local regulations. California and Federal laws provide specific employment restrictions for retirees and/or current County employees that desire to contract with the County. For CalPERS retirees: if the work you will perform as a contractor is the same or similar to work you performed as an active employee or is work that is performed by active employees, it is most likely subject to the PERS retired annuitant restrictions, meaning the employment is disallowed and the County will not be able to enter into a contract with you. For current County employees: California and Federal laws prohibit a current employee from contracting with its employer while being an active employee. If an employee is interested in becoming an independent contractor, the employee must consider separation from employment with the County, however should the employee retire, he/she may be subject to the CalPERS retired annuitant laws. Should a current County employee respond to a RFP while in active employment status, the employee must separate from employment prior to award of the contract. No County time is allowed to be used to prepare for or work on a response to a County RFP.
