RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, to execute on behalf of the Director of Airports, a purchase order with Ascent Aviation Group, Inc. for aviation fuel, in an amount not to exceed $230,000.00 for the period September 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016, at the Byron Airport, Byron Area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no negative impact on the General Fund. The Airport Enterprise Fund will cover the purchase costs and will then resell the aviation fuel to airport tenants and other users to generate income.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County Airports is responsible for an aircraft fueling facility at Byron Airport that provides 100LL aviation fuel for its tenants and visiting aircraft. Most general aviation aircraft can only use 100LL aviation fuel. Ascent Aviation Group, Inc. is the exclusive distributor of the fast pay (credit card) fuel system that is in use at Byron Airport.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, then the County will not be able to buy the necessary aviation fuel and provide the needed aviation service for its tenants and customers.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable
