This is a routine expense but the total for these expenditure was higher than normal due to rising prices for fuel oil related to various economic factors.
The expenditure was done through the Kansas City, MO cooperative contract for fuel that the City of Independence has been a part of since 2004. Competitive bidding is not required where supplies, materials, equipment, contractual labor, insurance and services are purchased through bids established by a government purchasing entity or cooperative.
