REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Transit Committee and Council receive this report for information.
RECOMMANDATION DU
RAPPORT
Que le Comité du transport en commun et le Conseil municipal prennent
connaissance du présent rapport.
BACKGROUND
In accordance with Councillor El-Chantiry’s motion 27/139, staff were directed to provide reports in advance of the draft budget for the purchase of any new fleet. This motion requires staff to report on the type, cost, and programming rationale of new vehicles, and action taken to achieve savings. The purpose of this Information Report is to provide information on growth vehicle requirements for 2008 that fall within the jurisdiction of this committee. Replacement Fleet requirements are contained in a separate Information Report (ACS2007-PWS-FLT-0008).
DISCUSSION
Fleet Services was directed to coordinate the production of this Information Report to the Transit Committee outlining the Fleet growth requirements for 2008. The attached document provides details including vehicle description, cost and programming rationale for the Transit Services reporting to Transit Committee outlining non-revenue fleet growth requirements in 2008. Revenue fleet growth requirements for 2008 were approved as part of budget 2007 and report ACS2007-PTE-TRA-0009 (Transit Fleet Acquisition Strategy) dated 27 June 2007.
Savings are anticipated through a number of procurement strategies. Costs will be minimized by developing common specifications for fleet vehicles where possible, and by determining best practices in developing multi-year contracts with suppliers. Fleet Technical Services Division, based on the operational requirements of the user, develops vehicle specifications. The operating department is responsible to determine the capability requirement and Fleet Services is responsible to prepare a vehicle specification to meet that requirement in a cost effective manner. Once a budget is approved for the purchase of vehicles, Supply Management acquires vehicles to Fleet Services’ specifications. The process is open and inclusive of businesses that are able to supply vehicles in accordance with the vehicle specifications.
CONSULTATION
No consultation required.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The
supporting document details capital costs of $0.955 million and operating costs
of $0.318 million associated with 2008 growth vehicle requests. The Draft 2008 Operating and Capital Budgets
to be tabled for approval with Council will include these expenditure
items. The purchase of these
vehicles and the associated costs are subject to the approval of Council during
the 2008 budget process.
