Award a contract with SC Fuels for the purchase of diesel fuel, petroleum products and biodiesel for a one-year period with provision for four one-year renewals in an annual amount not to exceed $325,000. DISCUSSION The Fleet Management-Central Stores Division of the Finance and Management Services Agency provides diesel fuel at the City's Corporate Yard for all City diesel-operated vehicles. In addition to the underground fuel storage tanks at the Corporate Yard, tanks are located at the police facility, and various Fire Stations. Soy biodiesel is being introduced as a new subdivision to our diesel fuel usage. Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The SC Fuels' contract with The Cooperative Purchasing Network (TCPN) for diesel fuel and products was awarded as a result of open, competitive bidding, and meets the City's requirements. Pricing for the City's fuel purchases are based upon daily benchmarks published by the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS), plus fixed fees and applicable taxes. The current contract is based on the prior year's consumption and pricing. To date, the rising cost of fuel at 27 percent has exceeded the anticipated rate increase of 12 percent projected last September 2010. Amending the contract will allow for the payment of invoices and will provide uninterrupted fuel service until the new contract term becomes effective. 22A-1 Contract Amend and Award for Diesel Fuel October 3, 2011 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT Funds are available in the Equipment Maintenance Garage Operation Gas & Diesel account (no. 07510100-63300).
