RECOMMENDATION(S):

DECLARE as surplus and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to dispose of fully depreciated vehicles and equipment no longer needed for public use, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

In 2015, Fleet Services purchased electric vehicles (EV) to "green" the County fleet. These initial EVs only have a range of about 80 miles on a charge. Depending upon the weather, the range is lower especially in cold weather.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Due to its limited range, the use of these early EVs have been relatively minimal with some being driven less than an average of 1200 miles per year. In contrast, newer EVs with a range of over 230 miles on a charge have shown greater use by County staff with some units averaging 4000 - 5000 miles driven per year.

Replacing the older limited range EVs with new units that have at least 240 miles range on a single charge, and a direct current (DC) fast charger option, will greatly reduce range restrictions with daily business needs and range anxiety of current non-EV users.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Public Works would not be able to dispose of surplus vehicles and equipment.
