RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 25-253
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, at the Transit Board of Trustees meeting on May 22, 2025, the board
approved award of contract for CyRide’s FY 2026 fuel purchases to Mansfield Oil
Company of Gainesville Inc. of Gainesville, Georgia, for a not -to-exceed amount of
$1,260,000. On May 27, 2025, City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-253 approving
this award of contract; and,
WHEREAS, on June 16, 2025, CyRide and the Purchasing Division were notified
by representatives of Mansfield Oil Company that there had been a misunderstanding
regarding the blended biodiesel delivery quantities. As a result, Mansfield Oil Company
requested to withdraw its bid and cancel the contract; and,
WHEREAS, the fuel purchase is essential to the operations of CyRide. The next
responsive bid was submitted by Petroleum Traders Corporation of Fort Wayne, Indiana,
which was found to be fair, reasonable, supports administrative efficiency, and ensures a
reliable fuel supply; and,
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Division has confirmed that Petroleum Traders
Corporation's pricing remains valid, and they are willing to proceed with the contract.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that rescinding Resolution No. 25-253 is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 22nd day of July, 2025.
