Report Title: Participating Addendum with WEX Bank
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, a Rider to Addendum for the Fuel Card Services Agreement with WEX Bank, in an amount not to exceed $4,000,000, for a Fleet Payment System to pay, manage, reconcile and report statewide fuel purchases and fleet-related online services for the State’s Fleet Card Program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Product and service costs paid by Public Works Fleet Services (100% Fleet Internal Service Fund)
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County Purchasing Services is requesting approval of a Rider to Addendum for the Fuel Card Services Agreement with WEX Bank, to pay, manage, reconcile and report statewide fuel purchases and fleet related on-line services for the State’s Fleet Card Program. Approval of the Rider between Contra Costa County and WEX Bank allows the County to obtain guaranteed pricing available through the Department of General Services State of California contract and offer substantial discounts of published prices. This will allow the Public Works Fleet Services Division to make purchases that support this program, at discount prices.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval of this agreement, Fleet Services will pay full price to manage the services purchased.
