Procurement Language:
Multiple cooperative purchase programs were reviewed for these goods. The Financial Services Department Austin Fleet Mobility Services has determined these contractors best meet the needs of the multiple City departments to provide these goods required for the City.

Additional Backup Information:
These contracts will provide oil, grease, lubricants and parts for City-owned vehicles and equipment. Use of these products helps maintain the vehicles and equipment in good operating condition, lowers maintenance costs, and extends the lifecycle of the vehicles and equipment.
This contract will replace the current contract that will expire on November 30, 2026. The requested authorization amount was determined using departmental estimates based on historical spending, future usage, and anticipated price increases on the fuel, oil, and other fuel indexes.
The BuyBoard Purchasing Cooperative is a cooperative purchasing association recognized under Texas procurement statutes. Cooperative associations, themselves or using a lead government, competitively solicit and award contracts that are eligible for use by other qualified state and local governments. Due to their substantial volumes, larger than any one government could achieve independently, cooperative contracts routinely include superior terms, conditions, and pricing. Use of cooperative contracts also results in lower administrative costs and time savings.
If the contracts are not secured, the City will not have a reliable source for oils, greases, lubricants and parts
for City vehicles and equipment which may delay maintenance.
