STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Approve the Purchase of Compressed Natural Gas Fuel for Fiscal Year
2006-2007
SUBMITTED BY: Carlos Hernandez, Maintenance Services Manager
VENDOR:
Clean Energy
3020 Old Ranch Parkway
Seal Beach, California, 90740
DATE: May 11, 2006
Recommendation:
By minute motion, approve the purchase of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for
fleet vehicles from Clean Energy, for the fiscal year 2006-07. The purchase of
this fuel will be ongoing annually until other sources are available.
Discussion:
Thirty-two of the City's fleet vehicles operate on CNG fuel. Within the Coachella Valley, there
are five commercial CNG refueling stations that are operated by Clean Energy. The company
installed and operates the public CNG facility at Waste Management where the City obtains the
majority of its CNG fuel. The City's franchise agreement with Waste Management provides for
a substantial discount on fuel purchased at that facility.
Presently, Clean Energy is the only vendor in our area for this alternative energy fuel. The City
has vehicle -fueling cards and is invoiced monthly with a complete purchase detail by Clean
Energy.
Funds are budgeted annually in account 110-4331-413-2170 for the purchase of CNG and other
automotive fuels.
