Valdosta awards one-year fuel contract to Brad Lanier Oil Company
Summary
The council approved a one-year contract starting July 1 for gasoline and diesel supply for the city fleet, selecting the low bidder Brad Lanier Oil Company; contract includes four one-year renewal options and aims to ensure supply reliability during crises.
The Valdosta mayor and council voted to award a one-year contract for gasoline and diesel fuel to Brad Lanier Oil Company, with four options to renew, to supply the city's automotive and equipment fleet beginning July 1.
Don Burton, motor pool superintendent, described the procurement as a single-source contract for both gasoline and diesel to improve reliability, particularly during crises. Sealed bids were received on April 8; staff recommended accepting the low bidder to provide stable fuel supply and to continue fueling school buses and city vehicles as before.
A council member moved to approve the contract, another seconded, and the motion passed by voice show-of-hands. The contract pricing in bids referenced a freight rate and profit margin tied to a daily index. Council asked and confirmed that the contract will continue to cover the city school buses.
