ATTACHMENT C <br />Springfield: A Program Tech makes ‘station rounds’ (Mon-Wed-Fri) to pick up and deliver mail and small <br />items from City Hall to fire stations; Battalion Chiefs pick up and deliver mail, supplies and equipment to <br />stations (as needed); firefighters deliver outgoing equipment (repairs) and mail to City Hall when <br />convenient (attending a meeting at City Hall, etc.); major equipment, furniture, and other items of <br />substantial size are delivered directly to the fire stations. All fire stations were recently equipped with fax <br />machines to eliminate some unnecessary trips to City Hall or Fire Station 3 to send/receive a fax. <br /> <br />Eugene: A courier makes rounds to each station, every day to pick up and deliver mail, equipment, and <br />supplies, based on work orders placed in the computerized maintenance system. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Apparatus Maintenance: <br /> <br />Note: Fleet Management is addressed in separate template. <br /> <br />Springfield: Maintenance of apparatus and ambulances is done by outside vendors – Oregon Apparatus and <br />Hughes Fire Equipment. Maintenance of some general fund staff vehicles is performed by the City’s Public <br />Works Maintenance Shop. FY10 budget for vehicle maintenance is $212,574. <br /> <br />The General Fund contributed $300,000 in FY09 and FY10 towards apparatus replacement funding. This <br />reserve fund currently has a balance of approximately $1.5 million dollars. Due to the extremely high cost <br />of apparatus, the current strategy is to lease apparatus when replacements are needed, reducing cash outlay <br />and stretching limited dollars. In November 2009 three (3) new pumpers were contracted for lease from <br />Hughes Fire Equipment, with delivery expected in June 2010. <br /> <br />Eugene: Routine maintenance and part of the warranty work is performed by City of Eugene Public <br />Works/Fleet personnel. Additional warranty work and body damage repairs are performed by outside <br />vendors. Eugene Fire & EMS has a long-term replacement contract in place with Hughes Fire, expiring in <br />2016. The department’s Fleet rates include maintenance, fuel, fluids, insurance and accident damage <br />repairs. <br /> <br />The FY10 budget for Fleet rates in the Logistics section is $21,468, Fire Operations $636,540, EMS <br />$316,259, medic units $310,000 replacement per year (not funded in FY10). Apparatus replacement <br />funding is handled on a city-wide level. Logistics Section coordinates department staff vehicle periodic <br />maintenance and repairs. (See separate template for Fleet discussion.) <br /> <br />Radio Equipment: <br />Springfield: Repair and maintenance are performed by a private company under contract, with the cost <br />budgeted in Operations. A Captain coordinates radio repairs/replacements/issues as an additional <br />assignment. <br /> <br />Eugene: Routine maintenance and some warranty work is performed by City of Public Works Radio Shop <br />personnel. These items are included in the department Radio Rates. Installation and additional warranty <br />work is performed by an outside vendor. <br /> <br />46 <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT 3 <br /> <br />
