Explanation:
The City Of Hollywood requires the utilization of motor fuel for its vehicle fleet, which provides the opportunity for the City to consider more environmentally green fuel alternatives, such as flex-fuel products, to meet the City’s Environmental Sustainability and alternative fuel goals.
Protec Fuel Management, LLC is a locally based, nationally operating provider of motor fuel, and through its affiliation with and support of the South Florida Clean Cities Coalition, offered to supply the E-85 flex fuel and provided funding support in partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture to cover the complete cost for the installation of the fueling dispenser system and supporting infrastructure modifications that facilitates the City’s use of the E-85 flex fuel for the City’s fleet at the City Central Fueling Facility located at 1600 South Park Road.
Protec was awarded the Biofuels Infrastructure Partnership under the Department of Agriculture, an alternative fuel funding program in which they were the only recipient in the State of Florida offering this incentive program. Through this funding initiative, Protec retrofitted a portion of the City’s Central Fuel Facility to accommodate the dispensing of E-85 flex fuel on a conditional no-cost basis to the City, which is a direct savings of $27,487.95.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this agreement is available in the FY 2022 Operating Budget in account numbers 557.510101.51900.552110.000000.000.000, and 557.510101.51900.552610.000000.000.000, and will be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years’ operating budgets subject to approval and adoption by the City Commission.
