Re: Finance Committee — Unleaded Fuel Contract
Nashua Transit is purchasing 6 new Champion Vans from Dattco that are gasoline powered to
replace their current diesel powered vans. FTA is requiring Nashua Transit to have a fixed price
contract for regular unleaded gasoline for the new vans. Since they do not have a dedicated fueling
station for regular unleaded gasoline, the City chose to put out a Bid for this fuel for FY19 with an
option for FY20 at our main fueling location so this contract will cover all unleaded gasoline for the
City.
The City of Nashua has been paying the daily price for unleaded regular gasoline and it has been
advantageous to do that but the timing is good now for locking in a fixed rate and with the FTA
requirement for the new buses, this is our best option.
A Bid was sent to six (6) vendors and we received three (3) responses from qualified vendors as
shown below:
1. Dennis K Burke Inc FY19 @ $2.1612 and FY20 @ $2.0642 per gallon
2. East River Energy FY19 @ $2.2694 and FY20 @ $2.1662 per gallon
3. Santa Buckley Energy FY19 @ $2.2082 and FY20 no bid
Based on the low bid and qualifications of Dennis K Burke Inc.it is the recommendation of the
Transportation Department to accept Dennis K Burke Inc.as the vendor to receive the contract for
delivery for the City of Nashua. They are our current supplier of unleaded gasoline and have
performed well in the past with no known delivery issues.
The FY19 Estimated Usage (citywide) is 195,000 gallons @ $2.1612 per gallon or $421,434.
We request that the Finance Committee approve a contract with Dennis K Burke Inc. for FY19
unleaded gasoline in the amount of $2.1612 per gallon and an option to extend for FY20 in the
amount of $2.0642 per gallon.
