Fleet Management

Fleet Management manages the acquisition, operation, maintenance, and disposal of the state's fleet of motor vehicles and watercraft. The state's fleet includes approximately 26,000 units, the fleet includes automobiles and light trucks, medium and heavy trucks, aircraft, construction and industrial equipment, marine equipment (e.g., boats, airboats, boat engines, etc.), trailers, tractors and mowers, and small utility, motorcycles, and all terrain vehicles (ATV).

Responsibilities of this program area include developing policies and procedures for effective and efficient acquisition, assignment, use, maintenance, and disposal of vehicles and watercraft. In addition, Fleet Management determines motor vehicles and watercraft to be included on state contracts; develops technical bid specifications; and assists in evaluating the contracts. This area ensures the cost-effective acquisition of safe, energy-efficient, and quality vehicles and watercraft. This service approves the purchase of vehicles and watercraft, develops equipment purchase approval guidelines, develops fleet replacement criteria, and administers the state's federally mandated fueled vehicles program.

Fleet Management provides the Florida Equipment Electronic Tracking system (FLEET) which is a fleet management and reporting system. The system provides the management and cost information required to effectively and efficiently manage the state's fleet. FLEET also provides accountability of equipment use and expenditures.

Fleet Management manages the disposal of used and surplus state vehicles and watercraft, primarily through sale at public auction.

Fleet Management’s goals are to:

• Ensure the state purchases quality and energy efficient vehicles, equipment, and watercraft as economically as possible.
• Achieve maximum feasible return from disposal of used and surplus equipment.
• Return surplus state equipment to governmental service when practical.
• Restrict use of state equipment to official state business.
• Provide management reports and data required to properly manage state fleet.
• Provide reports to assure accountability of equipment expenditures and use.
