Agency: ISF - Administrative Services

Line Item: ISF - Fleet Operations

Function

The Division of Fleet Operations was established as a new division of Administrative Services in 1997. Fleet is charged with handling State Vehicle acquisition, repair, preventive maintenance, surplus, and fueling of state vehicles.

Statutory Authority

UCA 63A Chapter 9 creates the Division of Fleet Operations (Section 201) and delineates the division's duties (Section 401). Duties include:

  • Perform all administrative duties related to managing the state's vehicles
  • Coordinate all purchases of state vehicles
  • Establish fleet information system(s) for state vehicles
  • Make rules regarding maintenance, safety, loss prevention, procurement, fuel management, cost management, disposal, reallocation, rate structures, and insurance requirements for state vehicles
  • Establish a parts inventory
  • Create and administer a fuel dispensing service
  • Emphasize customer service
  • Conduct an annual audit of all state vehicles
  • Charge rates approved by the Rate Committee and Legislature
  • Conduct a market analysis
  • By November 1 of each year submit a state-owned vehicle report to the governor and legislative fiscal analyst

UCA 63A-9-601 requires the division to ensure that vehicles owned or leased by the state are properly marked

UCA 63A-9-801 requires the division to establish a state surplus property system

UCA 63A-9-805 allows the division to establish a federal surplus property system

UCA 63A-9-401.5 requires the division to develop and coordinate the implementation of a statewide vehicle fleet cost efficiency plan, which includes:

  • Goals for vehicle fleet cost efficiency
  • A summary of agency submitted, plans, statistics, and progress
  • Standard measures of cost including vehicle cost per mile, total vehicles, total fuel used, and miles per gallon
  • Goals for purchasing the most economically appropriate size and type of vehicle
  • Cost reduction measures
  • reducing inventories of underutilized vehicles

Intent Language

    Under Section 63J-1-603 of the Utah Code the Legislature intends that appropriations provided for the Department of Administrative Services - Division of Fleet Operations in Item 42 of Chapter 396 Laws of Utah 2009 not lapse capital outlay authority granted within Fiscal Year 2010 for vehicles not delivered by the end of Fiscal Year 2010 in which vehicle purchase orders were issued obligating capital outlay funds.

Performance

Administration costs should be kept as low as possible so resources can be used for providing services to customer agencies.

Admin to Division Cost Ratio1

Measure: Administrative costs as a percentage of total division costs.

Goal: Maintain administrative costs below two percent of total division budget.

Methodology: Ratio between total administrative expenses versus total division budget.

Measure Type: Outcome.

The chart shows vehicle count by major agency (those having over 350 vehicles) per year. Total vehicle count for these agencies was down by 35 vehicles in FY 2010 compared to FY 2009, and down by 152 from its peak of 7,453 in FY 2008 (Source: Division of Fleet Operations).

Annual Vehicle Counts1

Funding Detail

This budgetary line item contains five programs; however, the Administration program exists only to account for overhead costs of services provided to the other four programs.

Program: ISF - State Surplus Property

Function

The Division sells state agency surplus property to the public subject to a 30-day purchase priority that is given to state and local government agencies. The best possible price is obtained by using varied sales methods including: warehouse direct sales, sealed bids, spot bids, auction sales to the public, and internet-based auctions.

The rate structure for State Surplus Property allows the program to retain total proceeds from sales in order to fund operating expenses. If the program earns a profit and shows a positive retained earnings balance, State Surplus may proportionately rebate profits to state agencies.

In addition to properly disposing of equipment in accordance with environmental law, State Surplus Property provides a consistent accountability structure for the disposal of property. A central system protects the state against fraud and claims of fraud in the disposition of surplus property.

Program: ISF - Federal Surplus Property

Function

The Federal Surplus Program acquires and donates federal property to public and non-profit agencies. A handling fee is charged to agencies acquiring surplus property. These dedicated credits fund the operation while offering a means for state, county, and local agencies to purchase equipment at reduced rates.

During the 2004 General Session the Legislature decided to reduce this non-essential program to merely an agent to acquire federal property when requested from state or local entities.
