Mr. Pymm stated the district was contacted by Enterprise presenting a plan to manage the district’s vehicle fleet. Robert Dillon from Enterprise joined the meeting via Zoom to explain the program and to answer questions. This program is designed to help the district replace aging vehicles, improve safety and reduce operating costs. The district currently has 47 vehicles in their fleet, with an average age of 18 years and an average odometer of 150K miles. Nearly all the vehicles lack standard safety equipment and incur high operating costs. The vehicles do not hold much resale value and they are difficult to replace. Enterprise Fleet Management can help the district utilize manufacturer incentives, maximizing resale values before needed repairs and within the confines of the distict’s fiscal budget. This program can save the district an estimated savings of $296,767 over the next 10 years, reduce the average age of the Fleet from 18 years to three years and reduce the operating expenses by 33%. The program could be fully implemented over the next five years; the district’s fleet include service and plow trucks used for transportation, maintenance, food service, technology and special services departments in the district.
