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 25,000 units, the fleet includes automobiles & light trucks, medium & heavy trucks, construction & industrial equipment, tractors & mowers, and small utility, motorcycles & ATVs.

Responsibilities of this program area include developing policies and practices 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 Equipment Management Information System (EMIS) 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. EMIS also provides accountability of equipment use and expenditures.

Fleet Management manages the disposal of used and surplus state vehicles and watercraft.

Fleet Management also administers the state's rental vehicle contract. This contract is used statewide to assist in transportation needs of state employees, saving state agencies 50% of the average price for a private rental vehicle.

Our goal is 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.
