Title
Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Purchase - Contract Extension
History
In October of 2010, the Village of Orland Park published a legal notice and advertised for bids to supply gasoline and diesel fuel to the Village. In 2010, the Village entered into a contract with Avalon Petroleum Company of Kankakee, Illinois. Under the terms of the specifications, the contract can be extended annually if mutually agreeable with both parties for up to five (5) additional years. The end of the first year of the contract will be December 31, 2011.
Avalon Petroleum Company has been the Village’s supplier of fuel for the past seventeen years and has an excellent record for responding to the Village’s needs, promptness in delivery, billing and quality of fuel. Therefore, staff recommends an extension of the contract for the delivery of gasoline and diesel fuel for Fiscal Year 2012.
On November 21, 2011, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
There is a line item in preliminary 2012 draft budget (Account 010-5006-431.62-10) in the amount of $732,647 for this expenditure.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve extending the contract for gasoline and diesel fuel with Avalon Petroleum Company of Kankakee, Illinois, for Fiscal Year 2012.
