INTRODUCTION:
These are replacement vehicles for our Inspections and Community Health divisions. The current vehicles have outlived their useful life and need replacement. We are switching from gas to fully electric to comply with the City's Green Fleet Policy.
Our new equipment replacement scoring methodology uses six performance and cost variables including age, usage, type of service, condition, repair costs and reliability. Replacement qualification scores are 23 for all sedans. The higher the score, the higher the need to replace the vehicle. These vehicles are considered sedans with scores ranging from 23 to 26.
