Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move the Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator to approve the Vehicle Maintenance Agreement with the Hyattsville Volunteer Fire Department (HVFD) for the City of Hyattsville to provide vehicle maintenance services to HVFD.
end
Summary Background:
The new DPW Operations Facility has been designed to support additional City staff vehicles and upon request, adjacent municipal public works vehicles and other public safety organizations as feasible with contract. Several months ago, the Hyattsville Volunteer Fire Department requested the City provide vehicle maintenance service to their 8 mid-size emergency vehicles to reduce costs and improve vehicle downtime. The DPW staff determined that they could support within current staffing levels. Under the contract terms, the City will cover labor and the HVFD will cover preventive maintenance and all other work will be on a case-by-case basis with a cost proposal. The HVFD continues to seek ways to reduce operational costs and increase funding. This agreement will provide HVPD a cost savings and be more operationally efficient.
Next Steps:
With Council approval we will begin servicing HVFD vehicles.
Fiscal Impact:
Costs for service will be time and materials.
