Summary Explanation/Background
THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AND THE PURCHASING DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL
As background, the County entered into an open-end agreement with Flamingo Oil Corporation for Petroleum Products (Bid No. TRN2118572B1), on July 29, 2020, for the purchase of various petroleum products (Group 3) including transmission fluids, hydraulic and engine oils, greases, etc., critical to the continued operation and maintenance of BCT buses. The term of the initial award was for one-year with two one-year renewals at an estimated maximum contract value of $4,700,336. At the time the prices for the Group 3 petroleum products did not include a price escalation. Subsequent to the 2nd term, the vendor advised staff that it could not honor the prices of the contract due to unforeseen crude oil price increases. As a result of the price increases for the Group 3 products, the annual contract value would increase from $1,566,779 to $2,292,404 for the second term and the total not-to-exceed maximum three-year contract value from $4,700,336 to $6,877,211. The vendor also advised staff that Flamingo Oil Corporation had changed its name to Reladyne, LLC.
In response to the vendor’s request, staff from the Transportation Department and Purchasing Division conducted a price analysis of other vendors through informal quotes and reviewed the US Department of Labor Statistics PPI Commodity data for Fuels and related products and power-Crude petroleum (domestic production) and found the increased product prices to be consistent with the market. The Office of the County Attorney prepared this First Amendment.
