Background: Applied LNG Technologies is the company that supplied the first load of fuel to our new LNG station (Station). Since Applied LNG Technologies is most familiar with our Station, staff issued an interim contract purchase order in the amount of $24,900 to purchase LNG fuel until staff could seek bids for a long-term contract. Unfortunately, it is taking longer than anticipated to resolve the minor technical issues associated with the construction and commissioning of the Station. c The most critical issue to resolve is the activation of the Station credit card reader. A long-term fuel supply contract is not possible until this system is fully operational. Staff expects this issue to be resolved in the next few weeks. Therefore, in order to allow the City vehicles to fuel without interruption at our Station, staff is seeking approval of an agreement and an increase to the purchase order amount by an additional $75,000 for a total of $99,900. This increase will provide about eight (8) weeks of fuel and more importantly, the additional time to address outstanding technical issues with Station operation. Financial Impact: Funds for this purchase are available in the FY 07-08 Account No. 635-341-5113, Motor Fuel & Lubricants.
