RELEVANT GOALS:
GOAL 5: Responsive and Accountable Government and Effective Public Services

| | | | | | | | PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
These replacements ensure that our maintenance dollars are expended in the most efficient manner and that replacements are sought when vehicles have met their useful primary life cycle and before major repairs are required that may adversely affect operations and/or safety. In accordance with the City of Buckeye's Vehicle Replacement Policy there are a total of five (5) vehicles that are budgeted for replacement utilizing Water Department funds.
|
| | | | | | | | BENEFITS:
Reliable vehicles in good working order are essential to ensure that our Public Safety and City Departments are able to provide for the needs of our citizens of the City of Buckeye. As a vehicle ages, components become susceptible to a greater degree of unnoticeable wear and tear, leading to unexpected failures and malfunctions. Higher mileage vehicles are more likely to incur major component failures leading to increased down time, and expenses for parts and labor, not to mention decreased ability to respond to the mission of our city departments.

| | | | | | | | FUTURE ACTION: Council and staff; does this need to be communicated internally/externally?
Expected delivery time for vehicles is anticipated to be three months once ordered by the Fleet Management Division of Public Works
