BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Public Works - Fleet Services is responsible for the maintenance and repair of 34 emergency vehicles including fire apparatus, ambulances, and other special service response vehicles. When non-proprietary or out of warranty components cannot be repaired in-house, the vehicles are taken to an outside vendor for maintenance and repairs. In previous years, Fleet Services has solicited quotes for preventative maintenance and repairs on these units. However, as these vehicles age and warranties expire, the costs for the repairs have increased. In addition, operational changes to the use of ladder trucks has resulted in these units responding to many more calls for service, causing premature wear and tear on their mechanical systems. Due to the critical use of these vehicles, repairs must be made on a timely basis to minimize the amount of time that they are out of service. A bid is now required to secure the non-proprietary and out of warranty maintenance and repair services because the annual spend has exceeded the $25,000 threshold to conduct a bid.
In September 2019, the Department of Public Works - Fleet Services (DPW) issued Bid 19-257 for preventative maintenance, repair and road call services for emergency and other special service response vehicles.
