Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $2,500,000.00 from the Fleet Management Operating Fund from previously established Universal Term Contracts for bulk unleaded, ethanol, diesel, and bio-diesel fuels. For 2019, the Fleet Management Division budgeted $9.8 million for bulk unleaded, ethanol, diesel, and bio-diesel fuels. In 2018, the Fleet Management Division expended $7.5 million for bulk unleaded, ethanol, diesel, and bio-diesel fuels and in 2017 the Fleet Management Division expended $8.4 million.
This ordinance is contingent on the passage of the 2019 Operating Budget.
Emergency action is requested to ensure that purchase orders can be established as soon as the City's 2019 Operating Budget is passed to ensure an uninterrupted supply of bulk unleaded, ethanol, diesel, and bio-diesel fuels, thereby keeping City owned vehicles in operation, including Police, Fire, and Refuse Collection vehicles.
