RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order with Southern Counties Fuels in an amount not to exceed $1,300,000, for fuel, for the period of February 1, 2017 through January 31, 2018, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Departmental fees paid to the Fleet Internal Service Fund.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Fleet Services is responsible for the County fueling station on Waterbird Way. The Materials Management Division purchases fuel for the station by accepting daily bids from fuel distributors. We have four vendors currently submitting bids and we are set up to purchase fuel from all four of them. All four vendors are in need of new purchase orders. Southern Counties Fuels is our primary vendor, followed by Bay Area Diablo Petroleum, Ramos Oil Co. Inc., and Hunt & Sons Inc. This request is for Southern Counties Fuels.
