Fleet Services Division is a customer centered service organization. We provide a wide range of services to our customers including:
- Asset management services including fleet replacement planning, vehicle specification writing, coordination of vehicle purchases, new vehicle upfitting, and used vehicle sales;
- Custom reporting and consulting services to assist our customers in lowering their fleet related costs by identifying unneeded low use vehicles, charting cost trends, and keeping abreast of changes in the transportation industry;
- Fleet fueling services including bulk fuel and a commercial retail fuel station network;
- Maintenance and repair services including operation of two City-owned shops, and a network of commercial shops for specialized and overflow work;
- Fleet Parts services including operation of one stock room that supply equipment parts to mechanics and general use items to various City organizations;
- Specialized services such as truck wash services.
Fleet Services has participated in the Green Auto Shops pilot program supported by the Rocky Mountain Fleet Management Association, and was certified as such in December, 2005. This shop works with the City of Yuma's Risk Management Office to develop process improvement and pollution prevention ideas. About 90% of the wash water is recycled when using their wash rack to clean vehicles, saving millions of gallons of water per year. Other green practices include a small solar panel which powers a system to de-sulfate lead battery plates and provides a trickle charge to some stand-by equipment.
