| 124 | Convene an Interdepartmental Fleet Management Coordinating Council | A FMCC would assemble representatives from DISS, fleet user departments and other relevant/appropriate parties on a regular basis to formulate strategies collectively, address challenges and exploit opportunities. Convening an FMCC will help eliminate/mitigate duplicative efforts. Prospectively, a FMCC could substantively discuss consolidation and privatization implementation and form strategies for advaning such, including the creation of a policies/procedures manual | DISS | V-42 | Productivity | Process Improvement | CQ | CQ | CQ | CQ | CQ | CQ | C |
| 125 | Establish Support and Authority for Full Fleet Consolidation | Consolidation will temporarily disturb current operations and may personally affect employees; therfore, it is important to officially memorialize administration (e.g., County Executive) support for consolidation through an executive order or similar instrument that explicitly outlines the newly created fleet management function's responsibilities and confers upon it authority to assume control of fleet related activities. Consequently, the fleet management program can move forward with ample authority and organizational confidence | DISS | V-41 | Savings | Organizational Restructuring | $0 | $0 | $287,000 | $402,000 | $459,000 | $1,148,000 | C |
| 126 | Appoint a Fleet/Contract Manager and Support Staff | A professional fleet manager should be appointed. This position would have general oversight responsibilities and would also perform contract management, if operations became outsourced. A job specification that clearly articulates qualitative and quantitative responsibilities should establish expectations at the onset. The Fleet Manager will need an adequate mechanic staff to bring the central garage back online | DISS | V-43 | Productivity | Organizational Restructuring | $0 | $277,000 | $277,000 | $277,000 | $277,000 | $1,108,000 | C |
| 127 | Conduct Competitive Contracting Process for Fleet Manager | Subsequent to an RFP process, Erie County should select either a private operator or the current in-house provider to achieve lover cost and higher levels of service | DISS | V-32 | Savings | Managed Competition | $0 | $0 | $266000 | $266,000 | $266,000 | $798,000 | U |
| 128 | Reduce the Size of the Vehicle and Equipment Fleet | Fleet size is the super-variable driving overall costs. Aggregate fleet costs ("FC") can be represented by the following equation: FC=[A+R/M + F + I/O] x #V A= acquisition expenditures; R/M= repair/maintenance costs; F=fuel costs; I/O- indirect/overhead costs; and #V=number of vehicles. The right side of the equation is calculated for each departmental vehicle class (using averages for the four variables) and then summed to determine aggregate fleet costs. Regardless of how well costs are managed and efficiencies generated through process reengineering for the first four variables, fleet costs will be proportional to the overall fleet size. Savings for this initiative pertain to maintenance, fuel, and related operational costs. An additional $2.9 million in savings would be realized in the capital budget in FY2009 | DISS | V-28 | Savings | Capital and Productivity Improvements | $0 | $333,000 | $444,000 | $444,000 | $444,000 | $1,665,000 | C |
| 129 | Revise Vehicle Specifications | Specifications should produce a vehicle that provides adequate functionality and efficiency, without jeopardizing safely or service delivery capacity, The general rule is that fleet operations should buy the least expensive, task-appropriate vehicle. Savings would be $66,000, and is assumed to apply to the capital budget | DISS | V-34 | Savings | Process Improvement | $0 | $66,000 | $66,000 | $66,000 | $66,000 | $264,000 | C |
| 130 | Create Comprehensive Fleet Policies and Procedures | Operating a fleet without comprehensive and uniform policies and procedures is problematic. The inablitiy to dispense uniformly with similar issues in a standard fashion produces inequity and confusion, and extra time and work will necessarily be desicated to management and administrative functions | DISS | V-45 | Productivity | Process Improvement | CQ | CQ | CQ | CQ | CQ | CQ | C |
