Director Dean summarized that we got together with the <br />School Board and compared prices on petroleum products. We then <br />got with Belcher Oil Company and have struck an agreement to take <br />advantage of the School Board's lower price on gas and they can <br />take advantage of our lower price on fuel until April 30th next <br />year. The savings for us are basically .0075 per gallon of <br />gas. Director Dean did not know what the School Board will save <br />on fuel, but noted that we then are going to.get with St. Lucie <br />County and Martin County and form a co-op and bid fuel in an <br />effort to get the price down even lower. <br />Commissioner Bowman asked if this is legal, and Attorney <br />Vitunac advised that there is nothing illegal about county <br />governments getting together as a purchasing block. <br />Administrator Chandler confirmed this is being done in many <br />areas of the state. <br />ON MOTION BY Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (3-0) approved <br />an Open End Contract with Belcher Oil Company to include <br />Indian River County with the School Board, said contract <br />to expire May 31, 1990, and also authorized entering <br />into a co-op bid for petroleum products with the govern- <br />ment entities listed in staff recommendation. <br />36 KoO <br />E PQHS <br />..� �F e39 <br />
