The order cites Section 12 of Chapter 30B and seeks long-term terms to secure lower prices while a City Services committee process proceeded.

Official title
Councilor Flynn called Docket #0919, message and order authorizing the City of Boston Procurement Department to enter into a contract for a period of up to 5 years for the purchase of Biodiesel, ULSD, Octane, and #2 Heating Oil. The contract term would begin in 2026. The City Council’s permission to enter into a contract of this type for a period of more than three years is required by section twelve of chapter 30B of the General Laws. A term longer than three years will enable the City to ensure that it gets the best price on purchases of Biodiesel, ULSD, Octane, and #2 Heating Oil by allowing the City to lock in lower costs for a longer period, from the Committee on City Services. No objection being heard, the matter was properly before the body.
