|
| | | | | | | | Agenda Title:
Council action is requested to create a $1,000,000.00 in a purchase order for fiscal year 2023-2024 to John Moore Oil Company for fuel oil purchases for the Power & Light Department. |
| | | | | | | | Recommendations:
Council approval to issue a purchase order to John Moore Oil Company. |
| | | | | | | | Background:
Deliveries of fuel oil are needed from time to time for Substations I & J. These expenditures are done to replace fuel that is burned to support generation requests for the Southwest Power Pool, for which Power & Light (IPL) is a member of. This is a routine expense for the Transmission and Distribution Division of Power & Light.
The City initially goes to Frazier Oil Company who the City is contracted with for fuel deliveries. When substations run more hours than typical due to extreme weather periods (which Frazier can support) IPL has to purchase quantities from Moore, or shut units off. Sometimes it’s not the quantity of fuel being ordered, but sometimes the timing of when the fuel oil could be delivered. Those are the times John Moore Oil Company makes deliveries.
Approval of this item authorizes change orders up to ten (10) percent of the authorized amount, providing appropriations are available. |

Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact to the City totals $1,000,000.00. Funding for the fuel oil is included in the fiscal year 2023-2024 approved budget, page 234, account number 6145-5309, Purchased Power - Operating Supplies, IPL Fund 20.
