INITIATING PROBI.EM, ISSUE. OPPORTONIN (WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY).
The City has initiated an interdepartmental effort to improve the quafity of the City's fleet resources and how they are
managed. PaK of this effort is the purchase and installation of an automated vehicle management information system as a
tool for city-wide fleet resource management. At the end of 1996, Resolution 96-1483 approved the purchase of fleet
management information system hardware and software with the understanding that additional software would be required.
ADVANTAGESIFAPPROVED:
The ability to accurately track equipment costs including labor, parts inventories and repair types will greatly assist the
decision making process required for effective fieet management. Accurate, real-time data will yield greater efficiencies and
result in cost reductions in fleet operations. The system wili provide repair tracking/scheduling and preventive maintenance
which will increase equipment reliability while minimizing down time.

One year ago, the City Council passed Resolution 96-1483 which advanced funds for the
purchase of vehicles and equipment for rental through a centralized municipal fleet. This
Resolution also identified funds for the purchase of an automated fleet ma�agement system to
improve equipment tracking and maintenance and to provide accurate, timely data for
management decisions.
Council Resolution 96-1483 hasbeenamajor contributing factor in the rapid improvement of
the city fleet andthe restructuring of city-wide fleet operations. Asof today, almost onethird
of Parks' rolling stock is rented from the central municipal pool in the Public Works
Department and over the next few years a plan is in place for the two department fleets to be
completely joined. Our cooperative fleet efforts have resulted in a greatly increased sharing of
expertise and physical and human resources among the three city garages, as well.
The secondpart of Resolution 96-1483 addressedthe purchase and installation of a city wide
automated fleet management system. Through most of this year, staff from all of the fleet
operations, the Purchasing Division and the Information Services Division have participated i n
the selection and installation of computer hardware, networking equipment and in the review
and selection of a software package. An RFP (request for proposal) was written and bids were
returned from four vendors. Last month, the fleet and IS participants reviewed and rated the
bid proposals and unanimously selected a system which will best meet the City's needs.
The attached Resolution releases the $45,000 which was left unencumbered from Resolution
96-1483 for the purchase of computer software. Any other funding which mav be
reauired for the completion of this proiect will come from internaliv budgeted sources.
With the approval of this Resolution a contract will be awarded to the preferred vendor by the
end of December 1997 and instaflation wiil begin in January of 1998. The system will be
°on-line" and in use by June 1998.

One year ago, the City Council passed Resolution 96-1483 which advanced funds for the
purchase of vehicles and equipment for rental through a centralized municipal fleet. This
Resolution also identified funds for the purchase of an automated fleet ma�agement system to
improve equipment tracking and maintenance and to provide accurate, timely data for
management decisions.
Council Resolution 96-1483 hasbeenamajor contributing factor in the rapid improvement of
the city fleet andthe restructuring of city-wide fleet operations. Asof today, almost onethird
of Parks' rolling stock is rented from the central municipal pool in the Public Works
Department and over the next few years a plan is in place for the two department fleets to be
completely joined. Our cooperative fleet efforts have resulted in a greatly increased sharing of
expertise and physical and human resources among the three city garages, as well.
The secondpart of Resolution 96-1483 addressedthe purchase and installation of a city wide
automated fleet management system. Through most of this year, staff from all of the fleet
operations, the Purchasing Division and the Information Services Division have participated i n
the selection and installation of computer hardware, networking equipment and in the review
and selection of a software package. An RFP (request for proposal) was written and bids were
returned from four vendors. Last month, the fleet and IS participants reviewed and rated the
bid proposals and unanimously selected a system which will best meet the City's needs.
The attached Resolution releases the $45,000 which was left unencumbered from Resolution
96-1483 for the purchase of computer software. Any other funding which mav be
reauired for the completion of this proiect will come from internaliv budgeted sources.
With the approval of this Resolution a contract will be awarded to the preferred vendor by the
end of December 1997 and instaflation wiil begin in January of 1998. The system will be
°on-line" and in use by June 1998.
