Vector Fleet Management Wins Contract in Coconut Creek, Florida
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB) March 12, 2019 -- Vector Fleet Management has won a competitive five year contract to manage 321 units for the city of Coconut Creek, Florida. The deal includes five additional one year periods. This partnership will help the city achieve quality solutions due to Vector's history of adopting industry-leading practices. In order for the relationship to work, Vector will comply with various local and state laws regarding human resources, the environment, work safety and traffic. The city of Coconut Creek will have more budget control over cost-cutting and taxpayer savings once Vector Fleet raises the level of fleet productivity and availability.
A goal for this government fleet maintenance contract has been set by Vector Fleet to convert all diesel municipal transportation equipment to compressed natural gas in the next five years. Another five year transformation goal will involve converting all non-pursuit vehicles within the Police Department to hybrid models. Each fleet vehicle current is being monitored to ensure all the functionality is in good safe working condition. When vehicles are ready to be replaced after too much wear and tear they are referenced to make sure it can be replaced by an appropriate CNG or Hybrid Energy solution. An eco-friendly alternative solution will then be determined for the replacement equipment for the procurement process moves forward.
“It is clear after being outsourced for the past 10 years to another company, The City recognized the differentiating value Vector could provide. As was evident in the selection process The City was looking for a step change in not only quality of service and improved fleet availability, but in a partnership for developing solutions to better service their constituents. We are very excited to begin this journey with the City.” Aubrey Felton, Vice President of Sales
