PURPOSE
4.1 This purpose of the Fleet Replacement policy is to consider maintenance cost,
depreciation, down time, fixed and variable cost, operational issues and budget
limitations to provide a safe, dependable fleet while exercising fiscal restraint.
PROCEDURE
4.2 The Fleet Replacement Policy utilizes three specific benchmarks for replacement
consideration. The most important of the benchmarks is Life Cycle Cost, Subsidiaryto
the Life Cycle Cost, and Time in Service.
4.2.1 Life Cycle Cost Analysis
Based on fleet maintenance records and reports, vehicles or equipment will
be considered for replacement when the repair cost exceeds 51% of the
actual purchase price of the unit. Irrespective of time in service or
miles/hours, Life Cycle Cost Analysis may justify replacement at any time
within the life of the vehicle or equipment.
4.2.2 Time in Service and Miles/Hours
Time in service and Miles/Hours are evaluation thresholds indentified in the
"Approximate Replacement Interval Chart". When a unit is projected to reach
either of these thresholds in a budget year, the unit's life cycle costs are
evaluated to determine the need for replacement. Mileage/Hours and special
circumstances will be considered in the decision for replacement.
4.2.3 Special Circumstances
Special Circumstances will be considered in the replacement determination
as appropriate. These circumstances include but are not limited to
obsolescence, impracticality, safety, legislative requirements.
4.2.4 Order Lead Times

apparatus, special police vehicles, buses, large trucks, etc. often require

manufacture assembly time and extended delivery date. Fleet Services staff
will coordinate with each department and the manufacturer to ensure an
appropriate order date to meet the replacement time line for units authorized
for replacement.
4.2.5 Approximate Replacement Interval Chart
The "Approximate Replacement Interval Chart" is only a guide that reflects
bench marks for replacement consideration for various classes and types of
vehicle or equipment. It should not be used as the determining factor in the
replacement procedure of this policy. Replacement of any vehicle or
equipment will be decided based upon an individual evaluation using the
Fleet Administrative Replacement Procedure.
