Memorandum
To: Commissioners Court
From: Leonard Odom, Jr. & Franklin Johnston, P.E.
Date: 05/31/1994
Subject: Diesel Fuel for Road & Bridge
Recently we have had a problem getting diesel fuel delivered to the Road & Bridge yard. ~n the
past we have call for 3 bids each time we ordered fuel. Each time we purchase both gasoline and
diesel.
Regulations on diesel has changed recently and we are having problems getting diesel delivered
for off-road use. They want us to have a permit before they sell it to us without tax. We turned
the permitting process over to the Auditor's Office and Tommy Tomlinson is working on it.
With the permit we can purchase diesel and put it in two tanks -- one for on-road, and one for
off-road. We now have only one tank for diesel. In the past the haul truck was the only vehicle
we had that used on-road diesel. Now, both of the new dump trucks use diesel and we are
sending them to the pumps at the gasoline suppliers to fuel.
As we look toward the future, we would like some input from the Court on how we should
address the fuel problems for the County. Do we purchase another tank for diesel? Should we
consider fuel tanks with metersrn order to monitor usage in all vehicles and equipment?
Item No. 2.11
