INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT — FOR PROVISION OF FLEET
SERVICES TO THE CITY OF COLLEYVILLE
City Council consider approval of an Interlocal Agreement (renewal) with the City of
Colleyville for provision of services to maintain the City of Colleyville's fire protection
vehicles by the City of Grapevine Fleet Services Division, authorize staff to execute said
agreement and take any necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for labor and parts expended to maintain the City of Colleyville fire protection
vehicles would be recouped by payments from the City Of Colleyville. Payments are due
in 30 days from the date of invoice.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In October of 2000, an Interlocal Agreement extension of twelve months was awarded by
the City Of Grapevine to maintain the City of Colleyville fire vehicles. The City of Colleyville
has been satisfied with the services provided under this Interlocal Agreement and requests
that it be continued for another one year period.
As in the original agreement, the fire protection fleet of vehicles belonging to the City of
Colleyville consists of twelve vehicles, eight of which are emergency response vehicles
and four are of an administrative nature. The eight emergency vehicles will carry the same
priority level of service as Grapevine Fire emergency vehicles. Staff does not anticipate
any adverse impact on the level of service provided to our own fleet vehicles.
The agreement is identical to last year's agreement with the exception of the labor rates
related to the provision of service for the City of Colleyville. The revised rates are as
follows:
September 13, 2001 1 1 :1 1 AM
Standard Labor rate increased from $52.70 to $54.00 per Hour, an approximate 2.5%
increase from last year's cost. Overtime labor rate increased from $70.20 to $71.95 per
hour, an approximate 2.5% increase from last years cost. These costs were determined
by the Director of Finance in order to adequately cover the costs of the City of Grapevine
for maintaining the City of Colleyville fire fleet.
The Colleyville City Council is scheduled to approve the Interlocal Agreement with the
increase in the above labor rates on September 18, 2001.
Staff recommends approval.

1. OVERVIEW:
A. PURPOSE
The City of Grapevine possesses responsibility for the provision of Municipal services in
the City of Grapevine. It is necessary to utilize a variety of specialized vehicles and
transportation options suitable to the performance of these functions.
Thus, high profile emergency vehicles should be:
1) Properly specified within program needs for fleet standardization;
2) Acquired economically;
3) Tailored to specific needs with sophisticated and specialized equipment to fit
their requirements;
4) Maintained for top performance and safety at an appropriate level and quality of
Preventive Maintenance Service;
5) Repaired competently for prompt release to various officials;
Transportation represents a substantial cost element to the City's Departments and a
comprehensive program is required to support this need. The efficient and effective
operation of these vehicles bears an important relationship to the quality of service to the
public and the safety of employees responsible for the delivery of services.
Thus, it is necessary to engage the services and expertise of the City's Fleet Services
Division to provide those support services critical to the delivery of all related services
identified above.
This Interlocal Agreement represents the understanding of the parties concerning the
provision of a comprehensive fleet management program for the City of Colleyville.
B. FLEET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This Interlocal agreement details agreements made between the City of Grapevine and the
City of Colleyville regarding the provision of Fleet Services for the period defined in section
4.17 of this attachment. The Fleet Services described shall be performed on Fire
Department vehicles initially. The Fleet Services Division presently performs these
services to all City of Grapevine departments on a Charge -Back basis. Charges are based
on actual costs of operation and are available to the customer at a specified price. These
rates and charges are listed in Appendix A.
11. DEFINITION OF MUNICIPAL FLEET SERVICES

Normally, the level and extent of service is dependent upon ownership type and class of
vehicle. Thus, services provided are determined by each class of vehicle. Where services
are not provided for the class of vehicle, they are usually available from Fleet Services on
a direct charge basis. Some services, such as, two-way radio maintenance and repair, are
available from other vendors through the City of Grapevine.
E. LEVEL AND QUALITY OF SERVICE
1. Preventive Maintenance Servicing, and Safety Checks.
1.A. Reservations. When vehicles recieve P.M. service, removable tape stickers are
placed in the vehicles as a reminder. Letters are also sent as notification for all
vehicles for Safety Checks and P.M.'s. The vehicle operator brings the vehicle to
the Equipment Management Service Center and has Fleet Services open a work
order, or speaks directly to our Shop Foreman to discuss vehicle problems and the
expected date of Services. These Fleet Service employees communicate regularly
with the departmental representatives on each vehicle. In addition, our
Superintendent is accessible and responsible for all fleet management and repair
services.
1.B. Time Promised. The turn around time for Preventive Maintenance servicing, and
safety checks is one day or less. "A" level P.M.'s are done as the driver waits unless
the driver has additional service needs that will extend the service time.
In addition, other unreported deficiencies may be observed by the inspector which
may affect safety, or could cause damage to the equipment. These are corrected
prior to releasing the vehicle for service.
When the repair involves the securing of parts not stocked by either the City or by
private parts vendors in City of Grapevine, downtime can be several days.
2. Unscheduled Repairs.
2.A. Reservations and Work Order Services. The Shop Foreman will communicate
regularly with the departmental representatives on each vehicle. The vehicle
operator brings the vehicle to the Service Center Yard and has the senior
mechanic open a work order and to discuss the vehicle problems along with the
expected date of pick up. Safety checks are at the request of the vehicle
operator and are generally performed on demand.
2.13. Time Promised. Unscheduled repair service can be defined as the correction of
deficiencies reported by the vehicle operator that occur between Preventive
Maintenance services as prescribed by the manufacturer. Unscheduled repair
services will generally be limited to the correction of only those specific items
reported as being deficient by the operator and qualified service personnel.
Our turnaround time for unscheduled repairs has averaged two days or less
depending on parts availability
2.C. Quality of Service. Quality of service can be measured by comebacks. A
"comeback" can be defined as a closed work order on which a repair task was
performed on a vehicle for the second time within a defined comeback period,
generally within thirty days. There may be reasons for a repeat repair other than
poor labor quality or bad parts; but all comebacks are investigated to determine on
a case by case basis whether there is a problem with labor or parts or a commercial
garage. Comebacks have been monitored over the past year and the results have
been excellent with a rate of less than 1 % on in-house repairs.
2.D. Cleanliness. In order to reduce excessive labor times on repairs vehicles should be
kept clean and washed depending on the availability of time.
111, CHARGES FOR SERVICES AND BILLING
