A council report notes the recommendation is to enter a five-year contract with 941-2401 Heating Ltd. o/a Bryan’s Fuel.
The contract would start on Sept, 1 2021, and end Aug. 1, 2026.
Among the four companies which applied for the tender, Bryan’s Fuel was the cheapest option.
For 2021, the budget for this service was set at over $288,000.

Included in the budget is costs for regular unleaded gas, clear diesel, dyed diesel, and fuel management system.
