RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute a purchase order with S&C Fuels in the amount of $1,100,000 for the purchase of bulk diesel and unleaded fuels.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Fuel costs are budgeted in the County Department Budgets.

BACKGROUND:

The Waterbird fueling site has been in place since 1993. It services County and other agency vehicles as a self serve fueling station. Available fuel is stored in underground 12,000 gallon fuel tanks. General Services solicits and accepts daily fuel bids from several vendors. S&C Fuels has been one of three fuel vendors that has received orders from the County for bulk fuel.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, customer departments may have to fuel their vehicles at commercial gas stations at higher prices.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
