Summary
This case study outlines the fleet management strategies employed by Lehi City, Utah, to effectively manage its growing municipal needs within a limited budget. The document details how Jeremy Estes, the fleet manager, utilized RTA's vehicle replacement scoring report to assess the condition of the city's fleet, particularly focusing on a sewer vacuum truck that was nearing the end of its operational life. By scoring vehicles based on projected age, mileage, maintenance costs, service counts, and overall condition, the city was able to prioritize equipment replacements. The report indicated that the sewer vacuum truck required significant repairs or replacement, leading to a decision to replace its engine instead of the entire vehicle. The case study emphasizes the importance of timely data and maintenance tracking, which has allowed the city to avoid unexpected breakdowns and manage costs effectively. Furthermore, it highlights the training and expertise provided by RTA, which has enhanced the city's fleet management capabilities.
