RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Public Works Director, to execute a purchase order amendment with Southern Counties Fuel to increase the payment limit by $300,000 to a new payment limit of $1,200,000 for the purchase of unleaded and diesel fuel, with no change to the original term February 1, 2018 through January 31, 2019, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Fleet Internal Service Fund

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Fleet Management is responsible for the County fueling station on Waterbird Way. They purchase fuel for the station by accepting daily bids from fuel distributors. They have five vendors currently submitting bids. They are set up to purchase from four of them. Any local vendors interested in supplying fuel to the county are encouraged to visit the Public Works Materials counter and get the necessary information to start submitting daily bids. Due to the raising price of fuels and additional internal use at the Waterbird fueling site, the original annual estimate of $900,000 has been exhausted. Fleet is requesting the payment limit by increased by $300,000 to complete the term.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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