Consideration and Approval of Contract:    With Coconino County for bulk winter blend diesel Fuel, bid number 2014-04 to Pro Petroleum of Phoenix, Arizona in the amount of $.0035 per gallon below O.P.I.S. (Oil Prices Information Services).

Approve the joint bid contract for Bulk Winter Blend Diesel Fuel with Pro Petroleum.  

Fleet Services has a need to purchase and use clear diesel for the winter months. The benefits would be less filter clogging when the temperatures fall below ten degrees Fahrenheit.  A joint bid was conducted and a contract secured by Coconino County for this service; the City of Flagstaff, Flagstaff Unified School District and Northern Arizona University participated in the bidding process, which included the annual quantities of fuel used by these agencies to obtain more competitive pricing based on volume to increase our purchasing power. The joint bid will ensure the City of Flagstaff can purchase Bulk Winter Blend Diesel fuel for $.0035 cents per gallon below O.P.I.S (Oil Prices Information Services) during the winter months or other times as deemed necessary at a very competitive price. 

Fleet Services should see less service calls for clogged (waxed filters), equipment will maintain fuel flow below ten degress fahrenheit. Using the joint bid will allow the city of Flagstaff to purchase bulk winter blend diesel at $.0035 cents below O.P.I.S for an additional savings in operating costs.
