Title
Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Purchase - Board Approval
History
In October of 2004, the Village of Orland Park published a legal notice and advertised for bids to supply gasoline and diesel fuel to the Village. In November of 2004, the Village entered into a contract with Avalon Petroleum Company of Tinley Park, 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.
At the Public Works and Engineering Committee meeting of November 8, 2004, the Public Works Director indicated that we would return annually for Board approval for extension of the contract. Avalon Petroleum Company has been the Village’s supplier of fuel for several years and has an excellent record for responding to the Village’s needs, promptness in delivery, billing and quality of fuel. As part of the bid package, the Village will receive tank bottom sampling, water removal and lab analysis of the fuels. Therefore, staff would like to extend the contract for the delivery of gasoline and diesel fuel for Fiscal Year 2010. This will be the last year for this contract.
On October 12, 2009, 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 budget line item in the amount of $670,487 for this expenditure.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve extending the contract for gasoline and diesel fuel with Avalon Petroleum Company of Tinley Park, Illinois, for Fiscal Year 2010.
