Title
Authorizing the mayor to enter into an agreement with Mansfield Oil Company for the implementation and operation of a fuel purchasing card program; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The city is planning to implement a retail fuel purchasing card program for city-owned vehicles. Mansfield Oil Company responded to the city’s request for proposal, offering the largest discount for retail fuel purchases, as well as compatible reporting capabilities to link with our current Faster software. We anticipate phasing the project throughout all city departments, with the Police Department being the first to implement the program. Each vehicle fuel card can only be utilized in combination with a valid Personal Identification Number (PIN). Authorized users will receive an assigned PIN to facilitate purchases with the fuel card assigned to the vehicle. The fuel card can be used at a large number of locations throughout the City of Toledo and the surrounding area to supplement the city-owned fuel tanks. While the vast majority of retail purchases are expected to be made within the city, the fuel card also allows purchases anywhere in the continental United States where the vendor has participating merchants.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the mayor is authorized to enter into a five-year agreement with Mansfield Oil Company and for the implementation and operation of a fuel purchasing card program.
SECTION 2. That expenditures incurred per the agreement authorized in Section 1, subject to available appropriation in future years, is authorized from the Municipal Garage Fund, Account Code 7086-25000-1146001STDSTD for the purpose identified in Section 1.
SECTION 3. That the Finance Director is authorized to issue her warrant or warrants against the above Account Code in payment of the obligations authorized above upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 4. That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall be in force and effect from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that the same is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property and for the further reason that this Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to timely implement the purchase card procurement program.
