'Of
From: Mark McCauley,
Agenda Date: April 29, 2019
Subject: Interlocal Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with the City of Redmond, Washington,
hereinafter referred to as Redmond
Statement of Issue: Redmond has a competitively awarded contract for propane vehicle conversions
and propane with Blue Star Gas.Jefferson County is planning to convert selected fleet vehicles to
propane power.This will help save on maintenance and fuel costs and will reduce the county's carbon
emissions.
Analysis:The Revised Code of Washington, Chapter 39.34 permits public agencies to enter into
interlocal cooperative purchasing agreements so that they can use competitively awarded contracts by
other jurisdictions to obtain goods and services.This enhances the efficiency of public agencies by
eliminating redundant bidding activities.
Staff wishes to enter into an Interlocal Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with Redmond to allow us to
have Blue Star Gas convert selected fleet vehicles to propane power using their contract. We would also
purchase propane from Blue Star Gas using the same contract.This will save staff from having to use the
bid process to find a propane conversion contractor and propane supplier.
Fiscal Impact: Approving this agreement in and of itself has no fiscal impact. It will have a fiscal
impact once the county begins to convert vehicles to propane power and purchase propane.The exact
fiscal impact is not yet known—it will depend on how many conversions are done,the cost of each
conversion and the quantities of propane purchased.
Recommendation: Central Services/Fleet Services recommends that the Board execute the attached
Interlocal Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with Redmond.
