DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The Fleet Management department oversees approximately 2,000 assets, including fire trucks, ambulances, trucks, SUVs, mowers, trailers, and ATVs. More than 90% of the work handled by Fleet Management supports Public Safety (Fire/EMS) and Public Infrastructure (Roads, Utilities, and Solid Waste). By performing these services internally, the County has been able to manage costs related to the maintenance and repair of these assets effectively. Additionally, during critical times, the department can prioritize units and departments based on community needs.
Over the past five years, County staff have identified deficiencies and required improvements concerning the current Fleet Facility. During this period, the board has approved funding for the design and land acquisition and has now allocated sufficient funds for constructing a new facility.
This workshop aims to update the board on construction costs provided by the Qualified Construction Manager (Dinkins Construction) and seek board direction to proceed with awarding a not-to-exceed contract within the next 60 days.
