GASOLINE PURCHASE AND DISTRIBUTION STUDY Synopsis: This is a report for the City of Mounds View as it pertains to the purchase of gasoline for City owned vehicles and equipment. • Holiday- 2732 Hwy 10. I spoke with the manager, Jim. He stated that the city was billed for the car wash packages along with their fuel bill. This was arranged thru Kathi O. and Chief Summer. He stated that if we notice gas for a lower price in this area we should inform him and he will match the price. 1.5 miles from shop, 4 to 5 minute drive time. $2.67.9 on 10/9/07 checked 10/24/07- $2.72.9 checked 1/23/08- $2.89.9, $2.86.9 1/24/08 • The Station- 2280 Co. Rd. I. I spoke with the manager, Leon. He stated that his station is normally 3 to 4 cents cheaper than anyone else. I have observed this to be true. They do not have a car wash facility. 1.4 miles from shop, 4 minute drive time. $2.64.9 on 10/9/07 checked 10/24/07- $2.69.9, checked 1/23/08- $2.89.9, 2.84.9 1/24/08 • Super America- 2640 N Hwy 10. I spoke with the manager, Mark. He thought that a discount could be worked out with S.A.’ s Fleet Management. 1 mile from shop, 5 minute drive time. $2.67.9 on 10/9/07 checked 10/24/07 - $2.72.9 checked 1/23/08- $2.89.9, $2.89.9 1/24/08 Addendum: Fleet responded that the city does not use enough fuel for fleet discount. • B.P. – 2155 Hwy 10 I spoke with the manager, Ross. He said that we would have to charge with a BP charge card to get a 2 to 3 cent discount. We would have to fill out a credit card application. 6-7 minute, 3.2 miles. Price was same as Super America and Holiday on the day I checked ($2.67.9), $2.69.9 on 10/24/07, checked 1/23/08- $2.89.9, checked 1/24/08 $289.9 • Ramsey County-1425 Paul Kirkwold Dr. Arden Hills. Talked to Pat McCoy. He said that we could arrange to purchase gas or diesel from the county, but we could not start till after Feb. 2008 as they were at or near capacity for the year. We would have to let them know if we want to join them in less than a month as they purchase now for the coming year and we would have to know approximately how much fuel we use. We would pay them .10 a gallon over their cost to pay for this service. This would run approx. $2.41.9 at this time. 7.8 miles from shop, 21 minute drive time. 10/9/07 Golf Course Tank: We salvaged the above ground fuel tank that was used at the Bridges Golf Course to fuel equipment, carts and trucks. The tank was in good working order at the time of the golf course closing and would be a time saving addition to the public works department. The tank would allow employees to fill various gasoline powered equipment instead of running cans to the service station. The tank could also be used to fill our pickup trucks and smaller generators in the event of a power loss allowing us to perform emergency tasks and service.
