City Sweet on Fleet Deal
We would be remiss if we did not mention that the City has decided to approve a contract with First Vehicle Services to continue maintenance on the vehicle fleet through 2010. The contract expires at the same time as the County’s which also contracts with First Vehicle. This opens up the possibility of a joint bid two years from now on a combined City-County vehicle maintenance bid.
The City did add some conditions, such as the right to cancel the contract with a six months notice, and audits on the operation by the City Controller’s office. But overall a good step in the right direction of moving non-safety services to a competitive process.
