  8. Expenditures Planned For The 11-13 Biennium $145.8 Million To Deliver Essential Program Services

  9. Fuel Usage and Cost

  10. Where we’ve been Because of budget constraints across all department programs over the past several biennia, the department limited the total amount of revenues that TEF was authorized to collect from rental charges to department programs. As a result, TEF has not been able to increase equipment rental rates to fully match the significant increases in equipment costs, fuel, labor, and other operating costs that occurred. In order to make up the funding shortfall, equipment lifecycles were extended and equipment purchases were deferred. While that worked in the short term to plug the gap, it did not solve the problem long-term, as there is now a significant backlog of equipment that needs to be replaced. Equity In The Fleet Has Been Depleted 11

  11. Time and Effort Repairing Equipment has Dramatically Increased Repair Hours and Dollars • The life cycle of the existing fleet have been substantially extended. Equipment breakdowns are now common. For instance, 2009 required the equivalent of 10 additional mechanics to keep up with required repair work. Why Do We Need To Invest In Equipment Replacment? 12

  12. Why do we need to fund now? • Time and Effort Repairing Equipment has Dramatically Increased Repair Hours and Dollars • The life cycle of the existing fleet have been substantially extended. Equipment breakdowns are now common. For instance, 2009 required the equivalent of 10 additional mechanics to keep up with repair work We’ve reached the tipping point 13

  13. Aging the Fleet A Tale of Two Trucks

  14. Risks Associated with Aging the Fleet • Unreliable equipment effects the ability of Maintenance and Construction delivering their programs • Potential to adversely affect the traveling public and freight mobility • Equipment availability will go down • Longer response times • Efficiency decline in day to day operations

  15. Performance Measures • In Service Time • Equipment Availability • Preventive Maintenance • Labor Pie Charts

  16. In Service Time

  17. Equipment Availability

  18. Statewide PM Completed on Time

  19. Mechanic Labor Hours

  20. Fuel Additives • Energy conservation and air quality concerns continue to be significant issues for our agency.  Over the years, policies have been developed and implemented to ensure that limited resources are utilized in the most cost-effective, efficient manner possible. • Therefore, results of third party analysis and testing of new products, devices and technology for fuel savings and emission reductions must be provided by the vendor(s) prior to implementing the use of a new products, devices and technology with regards to the agency’s fleet and equipment.  Prior to using a new fuel additive or fuel and emission reduction device and technology, testing and product evaluation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) “Gas Saving and Emission Reduction Devices Evaluation” program is required.   WSDOT will review the evaluation and determine if the product merits field testing. • The link to the EPA’s “Gas Saving and Emission Reduction Devices Evaluation” program is http://www.epa.gov/otaq/consumer/reports.htm.
