AGENDA ITEM NO. [11 ]
CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: February 19, 1974
ITEM TITLE: Reso 1 ution .. Authori zing Purchase of Gasoline on Open Market
INITIATED BY: Purchasing Agent
BACKGROUND
The City.s contract with Standard Oil Company for furnishing our gasoline
requirements expires February 15, 1974. Under the Mandatory Petroleum Regula.
tions as printed in the Federal Register January 15, 1974, the vendor of record
during the base period 1972 is required to furnish fuel to the City. The
regulations also state that there will be no competitive bidding.
The Purchasing Agent in conjunction with the Purchasing Agent of San Diego and
other local governmental agencies has been negotiating with Standard Oil Company,
the base period supplier. Standard Oil is able to furnish fuel based on a day
to day basis price schedule with no maximum due to the current gasoline shortage.
Being unable to receive a ftrm price with a maximum price ceiling, the City is
unable to contract for its gasoline requirements.
