Explanation
Background:
This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue purchase orders for ultra low sulfur diesel, bio-diesel, ethanol and unleaded fuel (including fuel purchased through MPC Investments LLC: Speedway LLC, SuperFleet) for the Fleet Management Division. Formal competitive bids for diesel/bio-diesel were received by the Purchasing Office and a Universal Term contract is in place with Central Ohio Farmers Co-Op, as authorized by Ordinance 1197-2009. A Universal Term Contract, authorized by Ordinance 2280-2012, exists for fuel credit card purchases with MPC Investments LLC (Speedway LLC, SuperFleet). A purchase order with Beem's BP Distribution for unleaded bulk fuel deliveries was authorized by Ordinance 2078-2011. The Beem's BP Distribution contract was established through the formal competitive bid process of Franklin County for bulk unleaded fuel purchases.
Ordinance 2078-2011 also waived the competitive bidding process of the Columbus City Codes, in order to allow the continued use of the Beem's BP Distribution contract. As noted, the Beem's BP Distribution contract was established through the formal competitive bid processes of Franklin County and currently provides a lower deliver price per gallon than could be obtained through the State of Ohio fuel contract. The City does not have a formal cooperative purchasing agreement with Franklin County, as it does with the State of Ohio Department of Administrative Services. Accordingly, the competitive bidding provisions of the City Codes must again be waived in order to participate in this Franklin County fuel contract.
These companies are not debarred according to the Federal excluded parties listing or prohibited from being awarded a contract to the Auditor of State unresolved findings for recovery certified search.
