Board of Public Works
Richmond, Indiana
To Whom it may concern:
The Fuel Oil shortage which exists in this area as well as all over
the country is, a factor that we considered and decided not to bid
the remaining years fuel oil business offered by the City of
Richmond, Indiana.
We do have ample fuel oil to guarantee the City for the duration of
this heating season but are unaware of the pricing conditon as it
exists today. We have experienced 3¢ increases since the 1st week of
December. This in itself would cause reluctance to firm a price at'
this time.
We would be happy to offer #1 & #2 Fuel Oil to the City at a rate
of 4¢ off of the retail price in the Richmond area using the prices
of all Major companys as a basis for establishing a retail price
market. ( .206¢ per gallon)
Sincerely Yours
Oil Products Co. Inc.
