Re: Request for Approval of the Purchase of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Fuel
for FY 2007/08
Dear Ms. Klassen:
Clean Energy appreciates the City of Palm Desert's notification to continue a discussion on
Item Number V from the June 14, 2007 Council Meeting in which the City has asked for
approval to continue purchasing CNG from the Clean Energy station in Palm Desert as the
primary fueling site.
As background, Clean Energy built a public access CNG station at the Burrtec (formerly
Waste Management of the Desert) refuse yard located at 41-575 Eclectic Street in the City of
Palm Desert. The fueling facility has been operational since 2000 and Clean Energy offered
the City a preferential fueling rate of $1.05 per gallon tied to the Consumer Price Index.
Todav's preferential price to the City is $1.29 Der gallon. As a partner with the City, Clean
Energy is committed to offering a clean alternative fuel source at a substantially discounted
rate to ensure the City's continued transition to an alternative fuel fleet of natural gas vehicles.
If I can be of any further assistance before, during or after the Council meeting on June 28,
2007 when this agenda item will be addressed, don't hesitate to contact me at
(562) 493-2804.
Sincerely,
Chad Lindholm
Regional Manager, Southern California & Arizona
