Approval of and authorization to execute the second renewal for gasoline and diesel to Offen Petroleum LLC
End
Background:
To improve service while decreasing costs, the Maintenance Services Department is recommending the renewal of the agreement with Offen Petroleum for the sale and delivery of gasoline and diesel fuel for the City of Broken Arrow's stationary fueling sites.
The organization utilizes approximately 255,000 gallons of gasoline and 268,000 gallons of diesel annually to support City operations. In FY 2024, the total fuel cost was $1,750,400. For FY 2025, projected fuel costs were estimated at approximately $1,900,000. Fuel is typically purchased on a weekly basis and delivered via tanker to the City's designated fuel sites. In addition, diesel fuel is procured as needed for emergency generators across Broken Arrow.

While the City cannot control fluctuations in fuel prices, the primary cost variables are delivery charges and supplier markups.
To manage fuel costs and simplify the procurement process, the City previously solicited annual bids based on the unit cost per gallon relative to the OPIS rack average. This approach allows for consistent markups and delivery fees, reducing the impact of market volatility.
