Ordinance on 2ntl Reading <br />? Implementing Resolution <br />? Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Renew the contract with SC Fuels for unleaded and diesel fuel for a one-year period in an <br />amount not to exceed $1,325,000, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City <br />Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Finance and Management Services Fleet Division provides fuel for all City vehicles including <br />diesel-operated utility vehicles. Gasoline is stored in underground tanks located in the Corporate <br />Yard and Police Facility. As a result of the Fleet Division Alternative Energy Strategic Plan and <br />green initiative efforts, consumption of unleaded fuel has decreased by 2% percent since 2011. <br />The Alternative Energy Plan will further help reduce fuel consumption by transitioning 85 percent <br />of its fleet to alternative fuel vehicles by 2016. <br />On October 3, 2011, the City Council awarded a contract to SC Fuels for diesel fuel for a one- <br />year period, with provisions for four one-year renewals based on the contract with The <br />Cooperative Purchasing Network. On June 8, 2012 the City renewed a separate fuel contract <br />with G. P. Resources for unleaded gasoline. Effective February 1 2013, G. P. Resources merged <br />with SC Fuels resulting in SC Fuels supplying both unleaded and diesel fuel to the City. Pricing <br />for the City is based on daily benchmarks published by the Oil Price Information Service plus a <br />margin of $0.0175 per gallon. This equates to the lowest possible price per gallon/per day for <br />both fuel products. Staff recommends the second renewal of the contract <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Finance and Management Services Equipment Maintenance Garage <br />Operation account (no. 07510100-63300). <br />Francisco Gutierrez sX <br />Executive Director <br />Finance and Management Services Agency <br />22C-1
