It is now more organized, streamlined, and comprehensive. In addition to a hard-bound manual, an on-line version is also available. • We have assisted in the implementation of ITS and their use of FleetFocus.
Fleet Training Program • We have coordinated the effort to implement all of Public Safety’s Computer Technology equipment into FleetFocus. • We have coordinated and stream-lined the process to verify the validity of all State Employees Driver’s Licenses if they drive state vehicles. • Updated the layout and procedure for the Report Card process. Implemented a training specifically for Report Cards and created a syllabus to better help agencies succeed.
Fleet Training Program • FleetFocus has been upgraded in April, 2003. The next upgrade is scheduled for December, 2003. • Created an on-line registration process for Fleet Seminars. • Assisted in the creation of a method that will allow all users to create their own reports through a third-party report writer while maintaining appropriate security. • We are hosting Access Training Seminars with the intention of teaching agencies how to create their own FleetFocus reports.
Operations Program Accomplishments • The count of meter rejects has been reduced by 64% during the fiscal year. • Customers can now call ARI for windshield repair and replacement with the state contract price (ARI is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week). • In September 2003, Customers will be able to call ARI for all Goodyear tire approvals as well instead of having to call Al Orwin for approval.
Operations ProgramAccomplishments • 98% of all the EX license plates were renewed by June 30, 2003. • Operations has made several changes to the EX licensing process and notification to customers about deadlines to make the process more efficient and friendly for contacts to respond to.
Goals for FY 2004 • Create repair and PM contracts with vendors that are less than current ARI contract pricing. • Create more awareness with DFO customers concerning web based information and services. • Keep the average number of vehicles out of PM compliance less than 150 vehicles during the coming year. • Keep the average number of blatant errors per month under 10 during the coming year. • Complete 90% of the EX licensing by the April 30, 2004.
More Cost $aving$… • During the last half of FY 2003 DFO followed up with agencies leasing vehicles to create a 21% drop in vehicles out of PM compliance. • Maintaining a vehicle properly saves significant money on repair costs that are not needed. • An estimated saving per year at a 21% percent decrease would potentially be $50,000 (25 vehicles would not need a major repair averaging $2,000).
Cost $aving$ Continued…. • Al Orwin is watching vendors closely to ensure the State is receiving competitive pricing for repairs and PM’s. • Al Orwin is also watching State Agencies through the ARI bill to ensure all accidents are reported properly and agencies are charged for abuse/neglect to leased vehicles • During FY2003 Al Orwin sent OTC’s to other State Agencies for abuse issues totaling $116,252
Fuel Cost per month $106.45 Fuel Cost per month $104.25
Repair cost per month $32.89 Repair cost per month $20.39
Operations Goals for FY 2004 • Improve vehicle utilization to an overall average of 70% in the daily pools. • DFO has significantly reduced the amount of car washes for state vehicles leased by DFO. • Decreased limits on Gascards for full service lease vehicles and tighter controls placed on the car wash vendors both contributed to the decrease.
Public Safety Equipping Program Goals for FY 2004 • Reduce the time between the delivery date and in-service date of new PS vehicles to 45 days. • Improve relations with Public Safety.
