The Board approved awards for the 2023‑24 Bucks County fuel consortium, accepting staff recommendations for fuel suppliers and estimated usage amounts.
Public Works staff reported bids returned in May and recommended Petroleum Traders Corp for unleaded gasoline (estimate shown in packet as $270,000), Riggins Incorporated for low sulfur diesel (estimated $85,000) and Wilson for home heating fuel (estimated $25,000). Staff explained the estimates are derived from historical usage and will be billed out to participating departments and outside agencies as appropriate.
A motion to award the consortium contracts to the recommended vendors was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Staff cautioned that the totals are estimated and will vary with market prices and weather; the township uses a sliding‑scale approach tied to market prices.
