ATTACHMENT C <br /> Full in-house operation could generate a profit for the organization by providing fleet <br /> services to other small, rural departments. Size of this opportunity is unknown at this <br /> time. <br /> <br />? <br /> Consider long term economies of scale: <br /> Improved pricing on apparatus purchases: Long-term contracts with vendors for <br /> purchase of multiple vehicles could provide significant cost savings on replacements. <br /> <br /> Improved pricing on apparatus-related equipment: Significant savings could be <br /> available through long term agreements for purchase of ladders, hoses, and other <br /> apparatus-related equipment that is routinely replaced on all vehicles. <br /> <br /> Reduce number of apparatus kept in reserve status: Eugene and Springfield both <br /> retain a number of apparatus and medic units in reserve status. If combined, the <br /> number of reserves required to serve both communities could be decreased. Efficient <br /> use of ALL reserve units could save significant dollars in maintenance, inspections, <br /> storage and operating costs. <br /> <br /> Full standardization of apparatus specifications and best utilization of all available <br /> apparatus: Current apparatus specifications are not completely aligned, and training <br /> on various configurations is not always possible. Full integration of the fleets would <br /> allow complete standardization of apparatus specifications and seamless operational <br /> integration. This would reduce cross-training requirements, streamline parts <br /> inventories, and maximize both personnel and apparatus assignment flexibility. <br /> <br />? <br /> Identify Grants and Levies that impact program: <br /> <br />A joint Eugene/Springfield Assistance to Firefighters grant proposal was submitted in <br /> Spring 2009, outcome is pending. Request was for $460,000 to purchase rescue/ <br /> extrication equipment. This equipment would replace outdated equipment and <br /> enhance both departments’ ability to address new vehicle safety technologies as well <br /> as maintain compliance with NFPA standards. <br /> <br />Actions required implementing new delivery model: <br /> <br />Complete analysis of both fleets (including reserve apparatus), replacement programs, current funding, and <br />maintenance requirements will be required to determine which option (1-4) is most economically feasible <br />and operationally possible. Depending on option chosen, an implementation plan would be developed. <br /> <br />? <br /> <br />Functional area location: <br /> If in-house model is chosen, land and facilities are needed. <br /> If outsourced, facilities are in the local Eugene/Springfield area. <br /> <br /> <br />Location of staff: To be determined. <br />Technology requirements: <br /> <br />? <br /> <br />For routine business functions: To be determined. <br />54 <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT 3 <br /> <br />
