Fuel Surcharge Provision The Base fuel rate for this bid should be factored using the US Department of Energy; U.S. on Highway Diesel Fuel Prices (dollars per gallon) for the week of 11/3/2025. The Midwest (PADD2) average is used for this bid. The rate is $2.828 per Gallon. A fuel surcharge may be implemented in the case that the average cost of diesel fuel exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of this bid base fuel rate. The average fuel rate shall be determined using the US Department of Energy U.S. On Highway Diesel Fuel Prices (dollars per gallon). Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) The fuel surcharge shall be calculated using the following formula: Current Fuel Cost – Base Fuel Cost / 4 MPG. This number will be multiplied by the number of tons being hauled and then doubled (for round trip purposes). Example of fuel surcharge once the average cost has reached or exceeded 25% of the base bid average: $3.535 (New weekly average) - $2.828 (current base price) / 4 (MPG) = $0.176 $0.176 * 4 (tons) = $.707 Doubled (round trip) = $1.41 fuel surcharge for the dumpster being hauled.
