1. That the ambulance service fees be supplemented by another revenue from third-
party billing.
2. That a new rate table be authorized by the City Council for those services not
covered by the surcharge or subscription.
Mr Ray reported on this item and thanked the members of the team for the time and effort put
forth in the study. Charles Burris moved, seconded by John Phillips, to approve the
recommendation as submitted.

ITEM 8: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A
REQUEST TO AWARD A BID FOR THE PURCHASE OF REGULAR
UNLEADED GASOLINE.
Since June a staff team has been reviewing the possibility of privatizing fleet fuel services.
Three vendors were interviewed, with bid specifications being mailed to them and an
advertisement placed in the Owasso Reporter. Two bids were received, but only one met the
specifications. The bid was for regular unleaded fuel only. There is no 24-hour diesel outlet
in Owasso at the present time; however, the vendor has stated that they will continue to look for
a outlet for diesel fuel, and the fuel will be re-bid in the spring. Councilor Phillips
complimented the team on their work, as well as teams that have been working on other
projects.
Charles Burns moved, seconded by John Phillips, to approve a contract with GO! Systems to
provide unleaded regular gasoline through June 30, 1994 at a bid margin of .07C per gallon, and
that the Mayor be authorized to execute the necessary documents.
