Board awards fuel contracts for buses and campus tanks
Summary
The Berlin Area School District board voted to continue using Berlin Oil for bus fuel (approx. $72,000 annual estimate) and to award United Cooperative the bid for two on-site tanks at Clay Lamberton after staff recommended the split award; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Berlin Area School District board voted to accept staff recommendations on fuel procurement, keeping Berlin Oil for bus transportation fuel and awarding United Cooperative the bid for two on-site tanks at Clay Lamberton.
District staff summarized the bids: the annual cost for bus unleaded and diesel fuel was estimated at about $72,000; United Cooperative bid roughly $10,802 for the two tanks, while Condon Oil’s comparable bid came in near $12,000. Staff also noted a patronage dividend to the district from United Cooperative — a rebate check of $222 for August–December — that factors into net costs.
S6, speaking for district operations, recommended staying with Berlin Oil for buses and awarding United Cooperative for the two district tanks. Board member Nick (S1) moved to approve the recommendation and staff member Emmett (S2) seconded; Chair (S5) called for the voice vote and the motion carried.
The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or identify the motion mover by full legal name; the motion text recorded in the minutes was to approve the recommended fuel contracts as presented. No amendments were recorded in the discussion.
Next steps: staff will execute contract awards according to bid specifications and monitor patronage/dividend accounting as part of normal procurement reporting.
