To secure the 2009 budget target, Supply
entered into a fixed price agreement with Sunoco to fix prices at $0.82 per
liter for 75% of the anticipated volume in 2009. By mid year an improving economy put upward
pressure on fuel costs and Treasury, in conjunction with Supply and Transit,
entered a Bank Swap Agreement with CIBC to fix prices for an additional 5% of
the anticipated diesel fuel volume for 2009.
The additional price lock-in was executed by entering a Bank Swap
Agreements to securing 2.5 million liters @ an average price of $0.84.
Treasury, in conjunction with Supply and
Transit, also entered into Bank Swap Agreements to secure prices for 39 million
liters in 2010 @ an average price of $0.87 per liter, 14.5 million liters
in 2011 @ an average price of $0.91 per liter and one million liters in 2012 @
an average price of $0.91 per liter.
Future dated Bank Swap held by the City had a mark-to-market value of
$812,291 in the City’s favor as at December 31, 2010.
