RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, on behalf of the Public Works Director, to execute a purchase order with Southern Counties Fuels in an amount not to exceed $1,300,000.00 for fuel for the period of February 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost is to be 100% funded through Fleet Services ISF budget. (100% Fleet Internal Service Fund)

BACKGROUND:

Public Works operates the fueling station on Waterbird Way in Martinez. Fuel for the station is purchased when needed based on daily bids from fuel distributors. To ensure availability of fuel when needed, we currently have purchase orders with four vendors. However, the existing purchase orders are about to expire. Southern Counties Fuels has been our primary fuel vendor based on their daily bids being the lowest.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, the purchase of fuel from Southern Counties Fuels will discontinue.
