Winfield council directs solicitation of sanitation-truck loan bids and accepts lowest fuel bid covering in-city stations
Summary
The council authorized staff to solicit local bank bids for a sanitation truck loan and voted to accept the lowest fuel bid — 12 cents per gallon over rack price — from the bidder that offered in-city service at three locations; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Winfield City Council on Sept. 2, 2025, authorized staff to solicit bids from local banks for a loan to finance a sanitation truck and approved awarding the city’s fuel supply to the lowest bidder at a price of 12 cents per gallon over rack price for the in-city locations listed in the bid package.
City staff presented a packet and a sample bid form and asked the council to solicit loan proposals from local banks for the sanitation truck; staff said the bid solicitation would be sent to all local banks and that a sample bid form was available for review. A numeric amount (306250) appeared in the discussion record as part of the loan/bid paperwork; the transcript does not explicitly label that figure as a final approved loan amount.
On city fuel procurement, the record shows two bidders were discussed: Aziz Oil Incorporated (the transcript notes a location at 2652 Highway 43, formerly Katz) and a Mid States bidder offering service at multiple in-city locations (listed in the record as 2303 Highway 43, 391 Bankhead Highway and 2011 US 43). The council accepted the lowest bid at 12 cents per gallon over rack price (reported in the packet as the low bid) and directed staff to continue current fueling arrangements with the low bidder. The successful bid was described in the meeting as providing 24/7 fueling service at the specified locations.
Motions to solicit the sanitation-truck loan bids and to accept the low fuel bid were made and approved by voice vote; the transcript records “all in favor” with no roll-call tally.
Why it matters: approval to solicit loan proposals starts the procurement process for replacement or additional sanitation equipment; accepting a city fuel provider affects operational costs for city vehicles and designates specific in-city fueling locations.
The meeting record includes the bid terms read into the record (for example: diesel and gasoline prices expressed as a per-gallon surcharge over rack price; minimum octane levels specified) and notes the address of bidder locations. The transcript does not record a public dissent or a roll-call vote on these procurement items.
