Summary & Background: Fulton County Policy 400-6 requires the County to replace vehicles that have reached a certain age and mileage.  Historically, annual allocations for vehicle purchases range from $2-$4M unless there are budget constraints requiring a lower allocation. The County’s traditional vehicle capital purchase model would require $16M+ to replace all currently replacement eligible vehicles.  This cooperative purchasing agreement allows the County to enter into a 5-year lease-purchase agreement (subject to the annual appropriation of funding) with Enterprise with the same annual expenditure that the County typically allocates for vehicle purchases. 

 

The Enterprise Fleet Management Services Lease Program through the Sourcewell Advantages Contract allows DREAM to replace all vehicles not in compliance with the above County policy across the County’s fleet. 

Program Benefits

The lease-purchase contract includes all scheduled preventative maintenance costs, resulting in decreased ongoing maintenance costs for County agencies and taxpayers.

 

                     At the end of the 5-year term (subject to the annual appropriation of funding), the vehicles become the property of Fulton County.  Any vehicles on the initial lease-purchase agreement that have exceeded the age and/or mileage limits set forth the in Policy 400-6 will be sold by Enterprise with the sale proceeds reducing the lease cost for the subsequent 5-year term.   

 

                     Leverages Enterprises purchasing power in the vehicle market resulting in overall cost savings.

 

                     Help evaluate your vehicle cycle to ensure vehicles are being repaired at opportune times to avoid extra costs. 

 

                     Enterprise Fleet Management is the largest purchaser of vehicles in North America, and can acquire vehicles from virtually every manufacturer.

 

                     Nationwide network of repair vendors able perform routine maintenance and repairs.  Many of the metro-Atlanta repair vendors used by Enterprise are already used by the County as a part of the Statewide ARI contract. 

 

Scope of Work: Enterprise will deliver 301 total vehicles for various Fulton County agencies as follows:

 

1.                     County agencies (General Fund) - 214 total vehicles 

2.                     Police Department (FID) - 18 total vehicles

3.                     Public Works - 69 total vehicles

 

Preventive Maintenance:

                     Monthly cost is fixed for term of the vehicle

                     Coverage is available up to 100,000 miles

                     Covers all routine services recommended by manufacturer

                     Covers all unexpected repairs (not related to damage or neglect)

                     24/7 roadside assistance including towing

All but fifteen (15) of the vehicles proposed for this program [eight (8) for Juvenile Court and seven (7) for the Solicitor], will replace older models that have exceeded their useful operational life in accordance with County Policy #400-6 which states that light duty administrative vehicles are to be replaced once they are either five (5) years old or have exceeded 100,000 miles. Pursuit vehicles must be replaced after two (2) years or 100,000 miles. 

Community Impact: Reliable service delivery to Fulton County citizens via increased vehicle reliability. 

 

Department Recommendation: The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management recommends approval based on the fact that 27% of the County’s fleet will be upgraded to current model year vehicles with a significant reduction in annual vehicle maintenance costs.

 

Project Implications: The identified vehicles to be replaced have exceeded their useful life based on Policy #400-6.  A significant portion of the County fleet will be both more reliable and fuel efficient.  The inclusion of preventive maintenance as a part of annual cost will significantly reduce the cost to own and operate the County’s fleet.

 

Community Issues/Concerns: None 

 

Department Issues/Concerns: If replacement of these vehicles through a Cooperative Lease-Purchase Fleet Management Services Program is not approved, the County will continue to have a disproportionate number of vehicles with high maintenance costs due to vehicle age and condition. 

 

Contract Modification No, this is a new procurement
