TO: AC Transit Board of Directors
FROM: Michael A. Hursh, General Manager
SUBJECT: Procurement of Non-Revenue Vehicles
ACTION ITEM
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Title
Consider authorizing the General Manager to execute documents through the State of California State Consortium Contract for the procurement of fourteen (14) non-revenue vehicles to replace older vehicles that have surpassed their useful life.
Body
STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE:
Goal - Safe and Secure Operations
Initiative - Service Quality
These new non-revenue vehicles will enhance service quality by replacing older higher maintenance and emissions service trucks for the District. These vehicles will replace both large and small maintenance and facilities service trucks located at each of the Divisions.
BUDGETARY/FISCAL IMPACT:
Budget for the 14 vehicle procurement is $1,000,000 using State Transit Assistance - State of Good Repair funds.
BACKGROUND/RATIONALE:
The District operates a fleet of non-revenue vehicles to support operations and all departments, including on-street supervision, parts delivery, emergency response, facilities, equipment and bus stop maintenance, operator relief, mail delivery, and other various administrative functions.
In compliance with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Transit Asset Management (TAM) Final Rule, the District established a capital procurement program to govern the acquisition and disposal of non-revenue vehicles. The Transit Asset Management Final Rule requires transit providers to set State of Good Repair (SGR) performance targets for non-revenue vehicles.
Currently the District has 77 non-revenue vehicles beyond the useful life and 70 non-revenue vehicles within the useful life. The table below shows the purchase year, age, and quantity of active non-revenue vehicles.
