ATTACHMENT C <br />accommodate the increase in workload and demand for services in providing Springfield Fire & Life Safety <br />the same services. <br /> <br />Courier, Supply Ordering & Distribution, Equipment, PPE and Uniforms: <br />Coordinated effort that uses a centralized warehouse and distribution system would eliminate duplication of <br />effort, and streamline processes for delivery and re-stocking of equipment and supplies. <br /> <br />Facilities Management: <br />The extent to which facilities would be jointly managed depends on the governance model chosen. Eugene <br />Fire Logistics could continue to manage Eugene Fire facilities and coordinate efforts with Springfield <br />Public Works for Springfield facilities. Standardized designs, joint supply ordering, etc., could potentially <br />provide significant savings. <br />Identify potential increases and consolidations in FTE: <br />Eugene currently has 7.0 FTE staff in the Logistics Section: <br />1 Parts & Supplies Specialist <br />3 Fire Maintenance Workers <br />2 Emergency Equipment Techs <br />1 Logistics Manager <br />Contractual Services are used for Seamstress function and Aerial Ladder testing. <br /> <br />Springfield Fire & Life Safety currently uses line Captains, a Sr. Management Analyst, and other staff to <br />perform Logistics functions. <br /> <br />Potential FTE increases with consolidation: <br /> Springfield currently spends approx. $200,000 in overtime to <br />support Logistics functions. Process improvements, bulk purchasing, and other efficiencies would be <br />implemented before any FTE increases would be considered. <br /> <br />What positions will be consolidated through attrition: <br />Consolidation of Logistics functions would eliminate overtime for various ‘pieces’ of logistics currently <br />performed by Springfield Captains. Additionally, regular hours spent by staff on Logistics functions could <br />be directed to higher priority operational needs. <br /> <br />This consolidation would shift costs, and in time, provide efficiencies not currently realized, thereby <br />avoiding future costs. Cost avoidance through bulk purchases, standardization, cooperative agreements, <br /> <br />etc., could be substantial over time. <br />Costs – Confirm present costs for service delivery: <br /> <br />Springfield: Apparatus maintenance costs continue to rise due to the age of the existing fleet and increased <br />number of emergency responses. <br />Apparatus maintenance cost for FY10 is budgeted at $121,960. <br />Ambulance maintenance for FY10 is budgeted at $90,614. <br />The Local Option Levy is expected to contribute $21,960 in FY10 for vehicle maintenance. <br />The levy ‘expires’ in 2010, so additional funding for apparatus maintenance would be required from other <br />sources if the levy is not renewed by voters. <br /> <br />FY10 budget for Logistics services: <br />49 <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT 3 <br /> <br />
