D.1 CONSENT.

D.2 CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2006-031 AUTHORIZING CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 TO FUEL CONTRACT WITH PETROLEUM TRADERS CORPORATION AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.

Student Mayor Dunn presented the following information. The City’s annual contract with Petroleum Traders Corporation for its supply of gas and diesel fuel was approved in November 2004 in the estimated amount of $329,900. The contract included an option to extend for one additional year with the consent of both parties. This contract per gallon costs is based on the Oil Price Information Services, or OPIS, average daily terminal price and was renewed in November 2005.

State requirements for the use of Texas Low Emission Diesel, or TXLED, fuel in designated non-attainment areas, including the Dallas and Fort Worth Metroplex and surrounding areas, became effective in January 2006. This changed the diesel fuel requirements from No. 2 low sulfur diesel to TXLED diesel and increased the cost by .0150 per gallon. Petroleum Traders Corporation is requesting a change to the contract to accommodate the increased cost in diesel fuel. Thirty percent of the City’s fleet uses diesel fuel.

To help offset the increased cost of diesel fuel, staff conducted field tests on select fleet vehicles to determine the feasibility of using regular unleaded grade fuel in City equipment currently running on mid-grade unleaded fuel. The test indicated all City vehicles that use unleaded fuel could use regular grade fuel without affecting the City’s operations. As part of the proposed change order, staff recommends amending the contract to provide for the purchase of regular grade unleaded fuel. This change will reduce the per gallon cost of unleaded gasoline to the City by approximately .0500 per gallon.

In comparison with prices on November 15, 2004, the date of the original contract, diesel fuel has increased by 37% and mid-grade unleaded gasoline by 33%. The projected upward trend of fuel market costs by Petroleum Traders Corporation prompted staff to propose a mid-year budget adjustment in the amount of $144,877 for the remainder of the fuel contract, which expires on November 14, 2006. This adjustment will impact both the General Fund and the Utility Fund as user departments will adjust their budgets accordingly at midyear if this change order is approved.

Staff recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 2006-031 authorizing Change Order No. 1 indicated in Exhibit “A” to the contract with Petroleum Traders Corporation.

There being no discussion, a motion by Student Councilman Nguyen, seconded by Student Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Brown, all voting “aye,” adopted Resolution No. 2006-031 authorizing Change Order No. 1 to the fuel contract with Petroleum Traders Corporation.

There being no discussion, a motion by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Robinson, seconded by Councilwoman Smith, all voting “aye,” adopted Resolution No. 2006-031 authorizing Change Order No. 1 to the fuel contract with Petroleum Traders Corporation.
