PUC approves two‑year extension and price increases for Supreme Group fuel‑management contract
Summary
The PUC approved GPA’s request to extend the Supreme Group Guam LLC fuel‑management contract by two one‑year extensions and to accept associated price increases, with the ALJ finding the increases reasonable given added assets and 24/7 operations.
The commission considered GPA docket 2607, which sought approval for two one‑year extensions and price increases for Supreme Group Guam LLC, the performance‑management contractor for GPA’s fuel bulk storage facility. The ALJ reviewed the procurement history (IFB GPA015‑22), the competitive bid record and price exhibits and concluded that retaining Supreme was necessary for safe and reliable refueling operations and that the proposed extensions and price changes were reasonable and prudent.
The ALJ explained that GPA requested 24/7 pipeline operations beginning in August 2025, which expanded the contractor’s duties and increased manpower, utilities and maintenance obligations; the price increases in the petition correspond to those added operational costs and newly added assets that Supreme would manage (pumps, sensors, valves and a 21‑km pipeline). The ALJ’s analysis compared Supreme’s extended contract cost to the alternate bidder’s original bid and found Supreme’s total corrected contract value still below the other bidder’s amount.
Commissioners asked technical and contract‑value questions; the ALJ and GPA staff walked through attached exhibits showing the base and extension year increases and confirmed the total contract value with price increases. The commission voted to approve the two one‑year extensions and the associated price increases as recommended by the ALJ.
