Authorizing the noncompetitive purchase of renewable diesel from Hartland Fuel Products LLC.

Summary

The City of Madison's Finance Department is requesting authorization for a non-competitive purchase of renewable diesel from Hartland Fuel Products LLC for an estimated $1,300,000.00. This purchase is justified because Hartland Fuel Products is presented as the only vendor capable of meeting the city's specific delivery and blending requirements for renewable diesel, especially for cold weather operations. The vendor has prior experience with the city, having successfully supplied fuel in 2025 and assisted in testing various blends. The city has a long-standing relationship with Hartland Fuel Products, with over $46 million in payments since 2015, the majority through competitive selection or state contracts.

Citizen Impact

This purchase supports the city's fleet operations transitioning to cleaner energy sources. Residents may benefit from reduced emissions from city vehicles, though the direct financial impact on taxpayers is not detailed beyond the total purchase amount.
