Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to establish a purchase order with McGlaughlin Oil for payment of invoice 135966 for $6,136.00. The Purchasing Office had established contract FL003542 for automotive oils and greases with McGlaughlin Oil. This contract expired on March 31, 2009. There remains a document balance of $156.25; however, this is insufficient to cover the amount of the final invoice.

Fleet Management spent almost $5 million dollars in 2008 for materials and supplies. Fleet Management does have a system in place which verifies available appropriations prior to authorizing expenditures. Still, with such high volume occasional errors are made. Fleet Management will remain diligent in monitoring and by taking necessary steps to ensure that these rare mishaps become rarer still.

The McGlaughlin Oil Company: CC#314412774 (Expires 8-5-10)
