Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue purchase orders for credit card fuel purchases and bulk fuel (unleaded gasoline, diesel, and bio diesel) deliveries for the Fleet Management Division. Formal competitive bids were taken by the Purchasing Office and a Universal Term Contract is in place for the credit card fuel purchases. The Fleet Management Division will use the State of Ohio General Distribution contracts with BP Products for bulk fuel purchases.
Fiscal Impact: The Fleet Management Division budgeted $9,031,090 million for fuel in 2008 at approximately $2.55/gallon. The City uses approximately 3.5 million gallons of fuel per year. This legislation authorizes $1,700,000 for credit card fuel purchases and $2,831,090 for bulk fuel purchases, for a total expenditure of $4.5 million. The Fleet Management Division has legislated $4.5 million previously in 2008 and spent $10 million for fuel in 2007 and $8.3 million for fuel in 2006.
Emergency action is requested in order to ensure an uninterrupted supply of credit card fuel purchases and bulk fuel deliveries.
