AGENDA STATEMENT

Item No. 4.J.
For Meeting of: November 17, 2020

ITEM TITLE:Resolution authorizing an amendment to contract 2020-018 with Connell Oil for the bulk purchase and delivery of fuels 
SUBMITTED BY:

Maria Mayhue, Acting Procurement Manager

Susan Knotts, Buyer II

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:

This amendment implements a city-wide, card based fueling program. Existing contract 2020-18, which includes Bid J11902 specifications, specifically allows for this additional service. This fueling program will be used primarily by Yakima Police Department, but will be available for use with all city-owned vehicles.

 

This program will make available a wider range of fueling options and will save the city money when employees travel for trainings, etc. Pricing will be tied to an OPIS fuel index, which will provide consistent pricing methodology at fueling stations not owned by the City. Use of fuel cards eliminates payment of federal taxes, for which the City is exempt and would be assessed with any other form of payment. 

ITEM BUDGETED:Yes
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:Public Safety
