Agenda 06/13/2017 Item #16G106/13/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to award Request for Proposals No. 16-7031 “Aviation Fuel Purchase and
Delivery” and approve the contract with Eastern Aviation Fuels, Inc., for the purchase and delivery
of aviation fuel to the Marco Island Executive Airport, Immokalee Regional Airport and
Everglades Airpark.
OBJECTIVE: To provide for the purchase and delivery of aviation fuel for resale at the Marco Island
Executive Airport, Immokalee Regional Airport, and Everglades Airpark.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Collier County Airport Authority’s (Authority) current contract for the
purchase and delivery of aviation fuel (Contract No. 11-5642) was scheduled to expire on May 20, 2017
but was extended until November 20, 2017 or until a new contract is awarded and executed by the Board,
whichever is sooner. The purpose of this Agreement is to allow the Authority to purchase aviation fuel for
resale. Aviation fuel sales accounted for approximately seventy percent (70%) of the Authority’s gross
revenue in fiscal year 2016, generating approximately $2,195,000.
In accordance with the Collier County Procurement Policy, the Authority issued Request for Proposals
(RFP) No. 16-7031 “Aviation Fuel Purchase and Delivery.” The RFP was advertised on December 1,
2016; 101 notices were sent out, 22 firms downloaded the solicitation, and four (4) submissions were
received.
By consensus, the selection committee selected Eastern Aviation Fuels, Inc., to be the Authority’s
aviation fuel vendor, with the final ranking as follows:
1. Eastern Aviation, LLC
2. Avfuel Corporation
3. EPIC Aviation, LLC
4. Ascent Aviation Group, Inc.
Procurement staff prepared the contract in accordance with the terms and conditions of RFP No. 16 -7031.
The contract shall be for an initial three (3) year period. The County may, at its discretion and with the
consent of the Vendor, renew the Agreement for two (2) additional one (1) year periods.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available and budgeted in the Collier County Airport Authority Operating
Fund (495). In addition to fuel purchases, there are also credit card processing fees to be incurred, as the
fuel vendor has traditionally included these merchant services within the agreement. The Authority
typically remits an excess of $60,000 for these merchant fees, but is variable given a customer’s option to
utilize other forms of payment such as cash or checks for all Authority goods, services and fees.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the growth management plan associated
with this Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote
for Board approval. -SRT
RECOMMENDATION: To award RFP No. 16-7031 for “Aviation Fuel Purchase and Delivery” and
approve and authorize the Chair to sign the attached contract with Eastern Aviation Fuels, Inc.

members may consider all the material submitted by the Proposer and other information
Collier County may obtain to determine whether the Proposer is capable of and has a
history of successfully completing projects of this type, including, without limitation,
additional information Collier County may request, clarification of proposer information,
public comments, and/or additional credit information.
9. Once the individual ranking has been completed, the Procurement professional will direct
selection committee members to read their individual ranking publically. The Procurement
professional will record individual rankings on the Final Ranking Sheet which will
mathematically compile into an overall selection committee rank of proposers.
10. In any of the selection committee meeting deliberations, by consensus, members may
request to invite proposers in to clarify their proposals, ask for additional information,
present materials, interview, ask questions, etc. The members may consider any and all
information obtained through this method in formulating their individual ranking and
subsequent selection committee overall ranking and final ranking.
11. The selection committee’s overall rank of firms in order of preference (from highest
beginning with a rank of one (1) to the lowest) will be discussed and reviewed by the
Procurement Strategist. By final consensus, and having used all information presented
(proposal, presentation, references, etc.), the selection committee members will create a
final ranking and staff will subsequently enter into negotiations. Award of the contract is
dependent upon the successful and full execution of a mutually agreed contract, pending
the final approval by the Board of County Commissioners.
The County reserves the right to withdraw this RFP at any time and for any reason, and to issue
such clarifications, modifications, and/or amendments as it may deem appropriate.
Receipt of a proposal by the County or a submission of a proposal to the County offers no rights
upon the Vendor nor obligates the County in any manner.
Acceptance of the proposal does not guarantee issuance of any other governmental approvals.
Proposals which include provisions requiring the granting of zoning variances shall not be
considered.

related proposal.

to it at law or in equity. VENDOR agrees to
reimburse the COUNTY for any expenses

written notice make changes to drawings
and specifications, shipping instructions,
quantities and delivery schedules within the

the foregoing, VENDOR has an affirmative

services and construction services.

Commodity based procurement where no services are provided.
Where the requirement for the affidavit is waived by the Board of County Commissioners

required to provide the Collier County Procurement Services Division an executed affidavit certifying
they shall comply with the E-Verify Program. The affidavit is attached to the solicitation documents.

and the executed affidavit the bidder’s / vendor’s proposal may be deemed non-responsive.

24. Collier County Local Preference Policy
Collier County provides an incentive to local business to enhance the opportunities of local
businesses in the award of County contracts. In the evaluation of proposals, the County rewards
Vendors for being a local business by granting a ten (10) points incentive in the evaluation criterion
points.
Local business means the vendor has a current Business Tax Receipt issued by the Collier County
Tax Collector for at least one year prior to bid or proposal submission to do business within Collier
County, and that identifies the business with a permanent physical business address located within
the limits of Collier County from which the vendor’s staff operates and performs business in an area
zoned for the conduct of such business. A Post Office Box or a facility that receives mail, or a non -
permanent structure such as a construction trailer, storage shed, or other non-permanent structure
shall not be used for the purpose of establishing said physical address. In addition to the foregoing, a
vendor shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to the economic development
and well-being of Collier County in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not be
limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, support and increase to the
County's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business within Collier County.
Vendors shall affirm in writing their compliance with the foregoing at the time of submitting their bid or
proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under this section. A vendor who
misrepresents the Local Preference status of its firm in a proposal or bid submitted to the County will
lose the privilege to claim Local Preference status for a period of up to one year.
Under this solicitation proposers desiring to receive local preference will be invited and required to
affirm atively state and provide documentation as set forth in the solicitation in support of their
status as a local business. Any proposer who f ails to submit sufficient documentation with their
proposal offer shall not be granted local preference consideration for the purposes of that specific
contract award. Except where f ederal or state law, or any other funding source, mandates to the
contrar y, Collier County and its agencies and instrumentalities, will give preference to local
businesses in the following m anner.
For all purchases of comm odities and services procured through a competitive proposal process
and not otherwise exem pt from this local preference section, the solicitation shall include a
weighted criterion for local pref erence that equals 10 percent of the total points in the evaluation
criteria published in the solicitation. Purchases of professional services as defined and identified
under subsection 11B.2 (which are subject to Section 287.055, F.S.) and subsection 11B.3 (which
are subject to Section 11.45, F.S.) shall not be subject to this local preference section.
