THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
TJPA’s long‑term bulk fuel, lubricants, and DEF agreement with Van De Pol Inc. expires July 31, 2026. To avoid service disruption while a new IFB is completed, staff seek a month‑to‑month extension for up to three months, with an estimated monthly cost of about $271,750 and a cap of $815,250. This identifies Van De Pol as the incumbent and shows exact spend levels ahead of a new fuel supply procurement.
Extension is month‑to‑month for up to three months while the new Invitation for Bids is finalized and awarded.
