Participants Totals District Fuel Estimates 2023.xls

The file is an Excel spreadsheet detailing vehicle fuel estimates for the Erie 1 BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services) district, encompassing fuel usage projections for multiple school districts in the Erie County, New York region. The document provides detailed estimates for various fuel types, including unleaded gasoline (87 and 89 octane), diesel fuel variants (winter blend, ultra-low sulfur, and biodiesel), across 20 different school districts. The fuel estimates cover different tank capacities and estimated usage, with some districts showing zero usage but potentially still eligible to purchase fuel under the contract.

The contract opportunity, titled "Vehicle Fuel 2026," indicates that pricing will be dynamically based on the weekly "Oil Price Information Service" (OPIS) publication, allowing for flexible pricing mechanisms. The spreadsheet reveals significant variation in fuel needs across districts, with notable estimated annual usages such as Grand Island (80,000 gallons of 87 octane gasoline), Ken-Ton Transportation (82,000 gallons of 87 octane gasoline, 8,000 gallons of winter blend diesel), and Williamsville (50,000 gallons of ultra-low sulfur diesel, 125,000 gallons of 87 octane gasoline). The document suggests this is a collaborative purchasing agreement that allows multiple school districts to access fuel through a centralized bidding process, potentially providing economies of scale and administrative efficiency.
