COUNCIL GOALS:
• Concentrate on Inter-governmental relations by working cooperatively with neighboring jurisdictions.
• Practice sound fiscal management by living within our means while investing in the future.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Department is responsible for monitoring fuel inventories for the City’s two (2) fueling sites located at the Public Works Yard and the Police Station. Fuel is essential for the operation of approximately 486 vehicles and pieces of equipment used throughout various City departments. The City of Fontana has “Piggy-Backed” from the County of San Bernadino fueling contract in the past. Fontana has been able to receive better pricing based upon the economies of scale due to San Bernardino County’s higher volume of fuel consumption.
Staff is requesting a purchase order be initiated with Nuckles Oil based on a “Piggy-Back” with San Bernardino County’s gasoline and diesel fuel contract 22-PURC-4372. The Purchasing office has reviewed this process and concurs with recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Public Works Department has budgeted $1,500,000.00 in Fiscal Year 2022/2023 budget for fuel and oil in the Fleet Operations Fund, Account No. 75138305-8024.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.
