Agenda Request
To: Board of Commissioners
Philip Morley, County Administrator
From: Frank Gifford, Central Services Director
Agenda Date: May 18th, 2015
Subject: Motor Fuel, Bid Opening
Statement of Issue:
Opening of bids for the supply of motor fuel as needed from time to time over five
years by various County departments.
Analysis /Strategic Goals /Pros ft Cons:
A request for bids for a five -year contract for motor fuel was issued, and bids are due
to be opened today.
Fiscal Impact /Cost Benefit Analysis:
Biodiesel is one of the most economical options available to comply with the biofuel
and electricity mandate in county vehicles and equipment. However, biodiesel pricing
on the current state fuel contract is not reasonable. In its research, Fleet Services
found that biodiesel can be purchased and delivered economically, but this will
require a county contract with pricing terms different from the state contract's.
Recommendation:
Direct the opening of bids and that Fleet Services evaluate bids and return at a later
date with a recommendation of award.
