How Municipal Fleet Programs Work Here
This page covers process rather than vehicle types. How municipal work is scoped, staged against service coverage, invoiced per unit against purchase orders, and documented for audit. The individual vehicle pages cover the technical work.
Departments ask about process more than about capability. Can you handle a PO, can you keep our coverage intact, can you give us documentation that survives an audit.
This page answers those. For what actually happens to a fire engine or a refuse truck, see the individual vehicle pages linked below.
How does scoping and procurement work?
Each unit is assessed and estimated separately, itemised by operation against posted labor rates. That separation matters because it lets each vehicle be raised against its own purchase order and cost centre rather than being bundled into one figure a department then has to allocate.
The published rate card is the part departments find most useful. A repair spend defended against rates published on a public website is a considerably shorter internal conversation than one defended against a quote nobody outside can verify.
- Per unit assessment and itemised estimate
- Estimates priced against publicly posted labor rates
- Individual invoicing per unit for PO and cost centre tracking
- Documented scope suitable for audit
- Written notification when scope changes and why
How is service coverage protected?
By agreeing the constraint before anything starts. How many units the department needs in service decides the batch size, and work runs in batches sized to that rather than to our convenience.
Units return to service individually as they complete rather than being held until a batch finishes. On a six unit programme that typically means a longer total elapsed time and no coverage gap, which for a public safety or public works department is obviously the right trade.
What is outside the scope?
On commercial and fleet vehicles we perform body, paint, structural and equipment installation only. We do not perform engine work, drivetrain work or DOT inspections. On a unit needing both mechanical and body work, the department will be coordinating two suppliers.
We also do not perform equipment certification. Emergency lighting, accessibility lifts and specialist equipment get reinstalled and verified operational, but any certification requirement is between the department and the relevant authority or equipment supplier.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work to a public purchase order process?
Yes. Per unit estimates and per unit invoicing so each vehicle tracks against its own PO and cost centre. This is routine work here.
What documentation do we get for audit?
Itemised estimates against publicly posted labor rates, written scope changes with reasons, and per unit invoicing. Published rates are the part that makes internal defence straightforward.
How do you protect our service coverage?
We agree the maximum number of units that can be down before work begins, and units return to service individually as they complete rather than being held for a batch.
Do you certify emergency equipment after reinstallation?
We reinstall and verify operational. Certification is between the department and the relevant authority or the equipment supplier.
