Victoria Baker, City Manager By: Richard Johnson, President Date: Date: Amendment to City Contract 2023-124 12 80 Amendment No. 2 of Contract No. 2023-124 EXHIBIT A Fuel Surcharge Calculation Method The following method will be used to calculate the fuel surcharge: Contractor will take his average fuel price per gallon for the month and subtract the base fuel price of$4.80, then multiply the difference by the number of miles driven (approximately 12,320 miles a month during peak season) in the same month providing this service, then divide that total in half. The resulting amount may be charged to the City as a fuel surcharge. (Average price per gallon - $4.80) x miles _ 2 Fuel surcharge calculation shall be rounded to the nearest cent. Example: Base fuel price is $4.80 per gallon Average monthly fuel price per gallon is $5.443. Miles driven for the month is 12,320 $5.443 - $4.80 = $0.643 x 12,320 = $7,921.76 _ 2 = $3,960.88 Contractor shall provide supporting documentation with each invoice, including monthly fuel purchase records, including but not limited to invoices, receipts, and other documents if requested by the City, sufficient to support the surcharge.
