Attachments Finance Committee Meeting 1/27/2009 1:20 PM 2009 RCSO Fleet Replacements Department:Finance Department, Fleet Management Caption:Approve $345,808 for the purchase of Sheriff's Office for the replacement of public safety vehicles from the 2009 Capital Outlay. Background:Consistent with the provisions of the Fleet Replacement Policy approved in April 2004, 139 eligible pursuit vehicles and 9 motorcycles of the Road Patrol and 107 vehicles of the 6 other Divisions (of the Sheriff’s Office) were reviewed for replacement. Individual assessments were completed on all vehicles in accordance with the Replacement Policy. Results of the evaluations are discussed below. The Road Patrol has 264 total vehicles, of those 139 are over 5 years old (see detailed sheet attached), 97 vehicles have over 90,000 miles (39 of these with over 120,000 miles). The 6 other Divisions of the Sheriff’s Office (see attachment) have 80 vehicles over 8 years old, of which 39 have over 120,000 miles. The Administrator has established a replacement limit based on the availability of the Capital Outlay. $345,808 is available for public safety vehicle replacement for 2009. Analysis:Bids received back from the competitive bid process through the Procurement Department resulted in significant increases in cost per vehicle for all types of vehicles used in a public safety capacity. The increase in cost between 2008 and 2009 is from 7% to 12 percent depending on the type of vehicle requested. Financial Impact:The Sheriff’s Office will utilize the GMA lease program and incur a three year obligation of $307,608.00- each year,( automobile replacements) and an additional $38,200 will be utilized for straight purchase (2-Motorcycles).
