S
taff recommends that the City Council authorize the issuance of purchase orders to TACenergy, LLC (DBA TACenergy) for the purchase of unleaded and diesel fuel for City vehicles, utilizing Sourcewell Cooperative Contract #121522- TAC ( page 4) . This procurement method ensures competitive pricing and compliance with cooperative purchasing regulations, resulting in cost savings and operational efficiency .

A
dditionally, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a one- year contract extension beyond February 10, 2027, and include future budgeted funds for fuel purchases beyond the current contract term, should Sou rcewell and TACenergy, LLC agree to an extension under the same terms.

BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW
T
he City requires a reliable supply of unleaded and diesel fuel to support the operation of its fleet, including in the Police and Public Works Departments. TACenergy, LLC has been selected as an approved vendor through Sourcewell, a national cooperative purchasing organization that provides competitively solicited contracts to government agencies.

Sourcewell Cooperative Contract 121522-TAC ( page 4) ensures the City receives favorable pricing and terms while complying with public procurement regulations.

T
he City has previously purchased fuel from TACenergy, LLC using a Ventura County Cooperative Contract. This past relationship has demonstrated the supplier’s ability to provide consistent, high- quality fuel with reliable delivery. By transitioning to the Sourcewell contract, the City will continue to benefit from competitive pricing and a streamlined procurement process while ensuring uninterrupted fuel supply for critical operations. The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed the agreement and confirmed that it follows the City’s procurement policies and meets legal requirements.

AGENDA I

TEM NO.

Consent (9)
2 T
he City's current fuel contract with Falcon Fuels expired on March 25, 2025. Falcon Fuels has been an excellent vendor, consistently providing reliable service and competitive pricing. However, as the City looks to secure a long-term fuel supply solution, transitioning to the Sourcewell C ooperative Contract will provide stability through February 10, 2027. This longer -term agreement ensures continuity of operations and allows the City to lock in competitive pricing while reducing the administrative burden of frequent contract renewals. Should Sourcewell and TACenergy, LLC agree to extend the contract, the City Manager would be authorized to execute a one-year extension, subject to future budgeted funds and the City Manager’s authority to allocate such funds as needed.

FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES
T
he following alternatives are available to the City Council:

1. A
pprove the purchase of unleaded and diesel fuel from TACenergy, LLC ( DBA TACenergy) through the Sourcewell Cooperative Contract and authorize the City Manager to execute a one-year contract extension and include future budgeted funds, if available;

he City requires a reliable and cost -effective fuel supply for its municipal fleet.

The requirements of 40 U.S.C. § 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence.
