HomeMy WebLinkAbout97-114 Resolution No. 97-114 RESOLUTION ADOPTING A CITY VEHICLE REPLACEMENT CRITERIA POLICY BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ELGIN, ILLINOIS, that it hereby adopts a City Vehicle Replacement Criteria Policy dated April 23, 1997 as the City of Elgin' s policy for replacing motor vehicles, a copy of which is attached. s/ Kevin Kelly Kevin Kelly, Mayor Presented: April 23, 1997 Adopted: April 23, 1997 Omnibus Vote: Yeas 7 Nays 0 Attest: s/ Dolonna Mecum Dolonna Mecum, City Clerk CITY OF ELGIN VEHICLE REPLACEMENT CRITERIA POLICY April 23, 1997 The city recognizes that at a certain point, it is more economically practical to replace, rather than repair, a given motor vehicle. The city will consider replacing a motor vehicle when the accumulated maintenance cost for the vehicle exceeds 65 to 75 percent of the vehicle ' s purchase price as continued repairs to the motor vehicle after that point will ultimately result in a greater cash outlay by the city. This cost analysis is commonly referred to as an "Equipment Life-to-Date (LTD) and Year-to-Date (YTD) Maintenance Cost Analysis . " The city' s vehicle replacement policy incorporates a LTD/YTD analysis as part of the replacement criteria and supplements that criterion with five additional factors for determining when it is more cost effective to replace, rather than repair, a motor vehicle. The five criteria are set forth below. A. Equipment Age - Every piece of equipment in the city' s fleet is on a time life schedule, which is the first criteria for scheduling for replacement. The breakdown by vehicle type is as follows : Class Life Fleet Size (Years) by Class 1 . Marked Squad Cars 2 35 2 . Other Police Operational Vehicles 4 39 3 . Administration Cars (all departments) 8 53 4 . Pickup Trucks and Utility Vans (all departments) 8 76 5 . Medium Duty Dump Trucks (all departments) 8 28 6 . Light Duty Dump Trucks (all departments) 8 10 7 . Ambulances 5 5 8 . Fire Apparatus 20 10 9 . Off-road Equipment (backhoes, tractors, loaders Varies 61 Total Fleet Size 317 B. Equipment Mileage and Hours - This is a major considera- tion in the marked squad cars . Eight hundred miles a e week is considered the normal miles driven for a squad. Also factored in is the cumulative engine hours for all equipment, especially the marked squads and the public works equipment, where hours are more important than miles . Although actual data relative to total hours is not available, staff will soon be implementing a pilot program to accrue a history of equipment running hours to use in future equipment replacement lists . C. Equipment Life-to-Date (LTD and Year-to-Date (YTD Mainte- nance Costs - Industry standards based upon American Public Works Association (APWA) case studies recommend that equipment turnover occur when accumulated mainte- nance costs reach 65-75 percent of the equipment ' s pur- chase price. In the case of squad cars, this usually happens after one and one-half years of service. Increas- ing the life of the vehicles most likely would result in a maintenance cost to purchase price ratio of well over 100 percent of the equipment purchase cost. Maintenance costs and equipment downtime tend to rise significantly in the later years of ownership as miles and hours accumu- late. With the majority of the other equipment, this standard usually occurs in the seventh, eighth or ninth year. Past experience shows major component failure in the seventh to tenth year of life, thus increasing repair costs and decreasing equipment availability. This is particularly true in public works equipment. D. Structural Integrity - The City Garage conducts an over- all inspection of the subject equipment, both body condi- tion and underbody condition (rusted floorboards and frames ) . Medium and light duty trucks used in salting and plowing operations are routinely exposed to road salt and calcium chloride are especially prone to premature cab and dump body deterioration, requiring major rebuild- ing or replacement. A more attractive fleet presents a more positive and professional image to the citizens and the operators are more likely to keep the equipment clean and in good working order. E. Future Projections of Equipment Repair Costs and Opera- tional Reliability (Safety) - As equipment ages, the availability is decreased due to the additional repairs needed. Exact data with actual downtime is not avail- able. However, based upon experience during the later years of a piece of equipment ' s life, more time is spent needing repairs and maintenance. Safety and reliability are also factored in the decision to replace equipment at the above-mentioned intervals . The light and medium trucks are subject to biannual state-required safety inspections which, as the equipment becomes older, re- quires more time and expense to pass . .��OF F(C oCr :JyAgenda Item No. Nywra f — City of Elgin April 3, 1997 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Robert 0. Malm, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Review of Vehicle Replacement Criteria PURPOSE The intent of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information on a vehicle replacement criteria policy. BACKGROUND During the course of reviewing the City's proposed vehicle replacement schedule last September, the Mayor and members of the City Council sought information on the criteria used to guide decisions on vehicle replacement. A memorandum detail- ing the replacement criteria was distributed on September 20, 1996, and an interdepartmental committee was formed to evalu- ate that criteria. The proposed policy providing objective guidelines for replacing motor vehicles, as detailed in this memorandum, represents the consensus of the interdepartmental committee convened to analyze the City's vehicle replacement policies . Replacement Criteria The committee reviewed various industry standards establish- ing guidelines for motor vehicle and equipment replacement. Each study demonstrated that at a certain point, it is more economically practical to replace, rather than repair, a given motor vehicle. The committee's review determined that the most widely accepted standard advised replacing motor -2-j vehicles when the accumulated maintenance cost for the vehi- cle exceed 65 to 75 percent of the vehicle's purchase price; continued repairs to the motor vehicle after that point will ultimately result in a greater cash outlay by the City. This cost analysis is commonly referred to as an "Equipment Life- to-Date (LTD) and Year-to-Date (YTD) Maintenance Cost Analy- sis" . The proposed vehicle replacement policy set forth in this memorandum incorporates a LTD/YTD analysis as part of the replacement criteria and supplements that criterion with five additional factors for determining when it is more cost effective to replace, rather than repair, a motor vehicle. Vehicle Replacement Criteria April 3, 1997 Page 2 Descriptions of the five proposed criteria are set forth below. A. Equipment Age - Every piece of equipment in the City' s fleet is on a time life schedule, which is the first criteria for scheduling for replacement. The breakdown by vehicle type is as follows: Class Life Fleet Size (Years) by Class 1 . Marked Squad Cars 2 35 2 . Other Police Operational Vehicles 4 39 3. Administration Cars (all departments) 8 53 4 . Pickup Trucks and Utility Vans (all departments) 8 76 5 . Medium Duty Dump Trucks (all departments) 8 28 6 . Light Duty Dump Trucks (all departments) 8 10 7 . Ambulances 5 5 8 . Fire Apparatus 20 10 9 . Off-road Equipment (backhoes, tractors, loaders Varies 61 Total Fleet Size 317 Elgin' s vehicle time life schedule is generally comparable to the time life schedule being utilized in a number of neighbor- ing and Chicagoland communities (Exhibit A) . It is important to note the significant differences between Elgin' s staffing levels and equipment to mechanic ratios and those of the various communities surveyed. B. Equipment Mileage and Hours - This is a major considera- tion in the marked squad cars . Eight hundred miles a week is considered the normal miles driven for a squad. Also factored in is the cumulative engine hours for all equipment, especially the marked squads and the public works equipment, where hours are more important than • miles. Although actual data relative to total hours is not available, staff will soon be implementing a pilot program to accrue a history of equipment running hours to use in future equipment replacement lists. C. Equipment Life-to-Date (LTD and Year-to-Date (YTD .Mainte- nance Costs Industry standards based upon American Public Works Association (APWA) case studies recommend that equipment turnover occur when accumulated mainte- nance costs reach 65-75 percent of the equipment' s purchase price. In the case of squad cars, this usually Vehicle Replacement Criteria April 3, 1997 Page 3 happens after one and one-half years of service. In- creasing the life of the vehicles most likely would result in a maintenance cost to purchase price ratio of well over 100 percent of the equipment purchase cost. Maintenance costs and equipment downtime tend to rise significantly in the later years of ownership as miles and hours accumulate. With the majority of the other equipment, this standard usually occurs in the seventh, eighth or ninth year. Past experience shows major component failure in the seventh to tenth year of life, thus increasing repair costs and decreasing equipment availability. This is particularly true in public works equipment. D. Structural Integrity - The City Garage conducts an overall inspection of the subject equipment, both body condition and underbody condition (rusted floorboards and frames) . Medium and light duty trucks used in salting and plowing operations are routinely exposed to road salt and calcium chloride are especially prone to premature cab and dump body deterioration, requiring major rebuilding or replacement. A more attractive fleet presents a more positive and professional image to (ebb- the citizens and the operators are more likely to keep the equipment clean and in good working order. E. Future Projections of Equipment Repair Costs and Opera- tional Reliability (Safety) - As equipment ages, the availability is decreased due to the additional repairs needed. Exact data with actual downtime is not avail- able. However, based upon experience during the later years of a piece of equipment 's life, more time is spent needing repairs and maintenance. Safety and reliability are also factored in the decision to replace equipment at the above-mentioned intervals . The light and medium trucks are subject to biannual state-required safety inspections which, as the equipment becomes older, requires more time and expense to pass . All the above-mentioned criteria are projections based on normal driving and routine driver care. Other factors, such as vehicle accident history, could alter these projections significantly. Applying the Criteria in Elgin To test our above-mentioned criteria, each of the pieces of equipment approved for replacement in the 1997 budget process was subjected to an in-depth analysis comparing real data to rik our replacement criteria. The results are detailed in at- tached Exhibit B. The first page is the list approved for replacement in 1997 and the following pages are details pertaining to each individual piece. • Vehicle Replacement Criteria April 3, 1997 Page 4 Utilizing our present policy, the City Garage recommended 71 vehicles , totalling $2 . 3 million to the Budget Committee and approval by City Council was for 32 vehicles totalling $1 . 01 million. The proposed replacement schedule using the crite- ria in 1996 was 68 vehicles totalling $2 .08 million, whereas the actual replacement funds available for equipment was $1 . 13 million. Thus, half the equipment which was scheduled for replacement in 1996 and 1997 was delayed for at least another year. This, in turn, increases the recommended life cycle. In addition, the creation of additional City programs requiring vehicular support - ROPE officers and graffiti removal, by example - has made it necessary to reallocate vehicles that have been slated for replacement to these new programs , further increasing operational costs . COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED Vehicle Replacement Criteria Committee. The members are as follows: Terry Podzimek, Garage Manager Michael Sarro, Purchasing Director Dennis Ahrens, Deputy Fire Chief Eric Stuckey, Budget/Public Information Officer Jack Darr, Deputy Police Chief Richard Kozal, Assistant Corporation Counsel Eric Bahe, Accounting Supervisor Roger Dahlstrom, Planning Director FINANCIAL IMPACT There are sufficient funds specifically set aside for the 32 pieces of equipment scheduled for replacement in the 1997 Equipment Replacement Fund (Account No. 601-4800-796 . 91-48 under various project numbers, total budget - $1,005,700) . LEGAL IMPACT Afrkone. ALTERNATIVES Regardless of whatever vehicles meet the replacement criteria test, the purchase of vehicles must be included in the budget and contracts for purchase must be authorized by the City Council . Equipment is reviewed from the Equipment Replacement Schedule each year for its remaining life. Equipment from that list is then examined and inspected to see if it does, in fact, meet the above criteria. It is then placed on the equipment replacement list for the current year budget process . If a piece is found to be in unusually good condition, it may be deferred. Vehicle Replacement Criteria April 3, 1997 few Page 5 RECOMMENDATION The recommendations are as follows : - To approve the establishment of the City' s Vehicle Replacement Criteria Policy as outlined in this memoran- dum, subject to availability of funds . - To authorize the 1997 replacement of all 32 pieces of equipment scheduled this year, as detailed on Exhibit B, except for vehicles #803, 807 , 887, 40 and 215, which, although technically meeting the replacement criteria, should be held for further analysis .

Most municipalities base their cycles on age, with mileage or hours used being the second criteria utilized if a piece of equipment doesn't meet the age criteria. The cumulative hours on the squads and detective vehicles are a major factor in the decision to replace. Most of the individuals interviewed also stated if a certain vehicle is exceptionally poor(a lemon), or in exceptionally good shape, its life cycle will be adjusted accordingly. Elgin also follows this policy. • EXHIBIT A Page 3 A survey was conducted to compare our policy and length of equipment life cycle with surrounding communities, in regards to fire suppression equipment.
