Year: 2023

The San Bernardino County Fleet Management Department provides propane for various county-owned vehicles and equipment. Normal delivery of propane became difficult during the Covid-19 pandemic, causing disruptions to the normal business process of fueling propane tanks, including flood control vehicles and newly purchased motorhomes from various departments, resulting in personnel having to drive to a nearby location to get propane. To mitigate the results of emergencies and to offer a better workflow plan, the Fleet Management Department initiated the installation of a large, 1,000-gallon propane tank at the County’s main fueling yard to ensure the availability of propane on a County-owned and operated fuel site. This improved workflow by allowing the County propane powered equipment to be filled on-site, rather than going off-site and using a Cal-card to pay for the services; now, the customer is directly billed when they use the propane services offered on-site. Also, this provides a centralized location for all fuel types required for County vehicles and equipment.
