Item No. 09 18e
Date: May 27, 2009
Item/Subject: Order, Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into an Agreement with Western
Petroleum Company of Minnesota, to Provide Fuel to the Fixed Base Operator at Bangor
International Airport.
Responsible Department: Airport
Commentary: In January 2009, ExxonMobil notified the City of Bangor of its intent to not renew its
agreement to supply fuel to Bangor International Airport for an additional term effective July 31, 2009.
The Airport operates the Fixed Base Operation (FBO) at the Airport and provides ground handling
services, including fuel, to Airport customers. The FBO is the retail segment of the business which
represents approximately one million gallons annually. Brand recognition is important in this area. Since
Bangor International Airport has been an ExxonMobil location for 40 years, it will be beneficial to maintain
the ExxonMobil brand for this business segment. This will provide continuity and will allow us to maintain
our ExxonMobil signage, uniforms, and marketing materials. Western Petroleum is the sole distributor for
ExxonMobil. They have provided a competitive proposal for this service.
This Order will authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Western Petroleum in a form
reviewed and approved by the City Solicitor.
