SC Commercial LLC. Fuel Products • Page 2 DISCUSSION: SC Commercial, LLC (formerly known as The SoCo Group Inc.) has supplied fuel, lubricants and other products as needed to the City of Riverside since 2009 and has provided exceptional service.

Purchasing Resolution No. 23812, Section 602(h) states, "Competitive Procurement through the Informal Procurement and Formal Procurement process shall not be required in any of the following circumstances:...(h) When Goods can be Procured from a Bidder who offers the same or better price, terms and conditions as the Bidder previously offered as the Lowest Responsive Bidder under Competitive Procurement conducted by the City or another public agency, provided that, in the opinion of the Manager, it is in the best interest of the City to do so." SC Commercial, LLC has agreed to maintain the terms, conditions, and pricing awarded under the County of Riverside contract based on RFP -0000341 and Contract PSA -0004078.
