That the Transportation Committee and Council receive this report for information.
Que le Comité des transports el le Conseil
municipal prennent connaissance du présent rapport.
In accordance with Council motion 27/139, carried at its meeting of 24, 25 and 27 January and 1-4 and 7 February 2005 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 2009 that fall within the jurisdiction of this Committee. Replacement fleet requirements are contained in a separate Information Report (ACS2008-PWS-FLT-0003).
Fleet Services was directed to coordinate the
production of this Information Report to the Transportation Committee outlining
the fleet growth requirements for 2009.
The attached document provides details including vehicle description,
cost and programming rationale for the Surface Operations and Traffic and
Parking Operations Branches which report to this Committee and have growth
requirements in 2009.
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.
No consultation required.
The supporting document details capital costs of $3.152 million and operating costs of $0.840 million associated with 2009 growth vehicle requests. The Draft 2009 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 2009 budget process.
