Realize lower prices for municipal fuel purchases

Next Steps

1. Contact LAS for a FREE Fuel Analysis that compares purchase prices made with your existing vendor to those you would have paid over the same period under the LAS Program.
2. If satisfied with the results of the analysis, joining the program is as simple as signing a short two-page agreement and providing a program contact to LAS.  Depending on the service type desired, there may be additional forms to fill out such as tank information for bulk purchases, or fleet card information for retail station fill-up
3. If buying in bulk, once all of the forms have been properly filled out, PFA will work with the vendor to setup account numbers and arrange for a site inspection prior to the first delivery, where delivery arrangement can be made.

Program Benefits

1. Economically-Priced Fuel – Reduced fuel costs by grouping member purchase volumes together under a preferred vendor arrangement.
2. Vendor Options – Petro-Canada for bulk, card lock, and fleet / retail fuel; bulk, drum, and packaged lubricants. Imperial Oil (Esso) for bulk, card lock, and fleet / retail fuel; bulk, drum, and packaged lubricants. NAPA for bulk, drum, and packaged lubricants. You can even mix and match services offered by each vendor.
3. Available Fuel Types – Include gasoline, clear and dyed diesel, and furnace / heating oil.
4. Flexibility – There is no volume or time commitment under the program.  Municipalities can join free of charge regardless of annual volumes and leave the program at any time, thus eliminating the need for long-term tenders and contracts.
5. Program Administration – All supplier invoices are reviewed by LAS / RMA Fuel to ensure accuracy of fuel volumes and costs, and a single invoice is sent to the member documenting each purchase made during the billing period.

Founded on the idea of group buying power, RMA Fuel has partnered with government associations, municipalities, school divisions, and other public sector entities across Canada to increase volumes, thereby decreasing costs for members.

RMA Fuel services provincial municipal associations in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Newfoundland and Labrador, with an estimated annual purchase volume of 54 million litres of fuel and lubricants.
