RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order with Southern Counties Fuel in an amount not to exceed $1,300,000, for diesel and unleaded fuel, for the period from February 1, 2014 through January 31, 2015, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost is to be funded through Fleet Internal Service Fund (Fund 150100).

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Fleet Management is responsible for the County fueling station located on Waterbird Way in Martinez. The Materials Division purchases fuel for the station by accepting daily bids from fuel distributors. They currently have five (5) vendors submitting bids and are set up to purchase from all of them. All five of the vendors are in need of new purchase orders. Southern Counties Fuel is the County’s primary vendor, followed by Ramos Oil Company, Inc., Royal Petroleum, Redwood Coast Petroleum and Hunt & Sons, Inc.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, fuel for the Waterbird fueling facility will not be purchased.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
