FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to SC Fuels for the purchase of diesel fuel and petroleum
products for a one-year period, with the provision for four one-year
renewals, in an annual amount not to exceed $325,000.
DISCUSSION
The Fleet Division of the Finance and Management Services Agency provides
diesel fuel at the City's Corporate Yard for all City diesel-operated
vehicles. In addition to the underground fuel storage tanks at the
Corporate Yard, tanks are located at the Police facility, and Fire Stations
No. 1, 4, 5 and 6.
The City has established a program to move its fleet to alternative fuels,
where applicable. Additionally, the South Coast Air Quality Management
District (AQMD) Ruling 1186.1 and 1196 in year 2000 requires the City to
move from diesel engine vehicles to gasoline or alternative-fuel engines in
the heavy-duty category. To date, all 11 street sweepers are now CNG units,
as the final diesel sweeper was replaced in May 2007. However, the City's
fleet still includes diesel-powered vehicles, including fire engines.
Additionally, the City has been investing in back-up generators for
emergency operations, which are diesel-powered. Therefore, staff
recommends continuing the same dollar amount of $325,000 for the next
contract period.

requirements.
