Agenda Request
To: Board of Commissioners
Josh Peters, County Administrator
From: Monte Reinders, Public Works Director/County Engineer
Agenda Date: October 6, 2025
Subject: Legislative Adoption of 2026 ER&R Equipment Rates (Roads)
Statement of Issue:
Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 136-600 requires that the County's legislative authority
review and adopt the Equipment Rental and Revolving (ER&R) fund rates for the county road
program each year. Note that while the Fleet Division rents vehicles to many other county
programs including Solid Waste, Sheriff, Health, DCD, and other departments, this requirement
only applies to the equipment used by the County's Road program.
By April 1st of each year, the County Engineer must submit the following documents to the
County Road Administrative Board (CRAB):
• Adopted ER&R rates for county roads equipment and vehicles for the current year;
• The resolution of the legislative authority adopting said rates;
• The ER&R fund management policy
These submittals are part of the requirements for the County to maintain its certificate of good
practice which in turn enables the county to receive motor vehicle fuel tax (MVFT) revenue.
MVFT provides approximately$1.5 million to Jefferson County each year for road purposes.
In mid-2024, the County Administrator determined that ER&R and Fleet program should be
moved back into the Public Works Department under the supervision of the Public Works
Director/County Engineer. This helps ensure that the requirements of WAC 136-600 will be
met.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's &Con's:
Pursuant to WAC 136-600-050, equipment rental rates shall be set by the County Engineer and
reviewed annually by the Board. The county engineer shall certify to the legislative body that
the proposed rates are an appropriate use of county road funds as required by RCW 36.80.030.

2026.

2.7 GASB Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards. Section
1300.104.
Section 3, Definition of Terms:
3.1 "Fleet", "Fleet Services" or"Fleet Services Division" is the Fleet Services Division of the Public
Works Department, sometimes known as "ER&R" due to its management of the Equipment Rental
and Revolving Fund.
3.2 "ER&R Fund" or the "Fund" is the revolving fund managed by the Fleet Services Division in
accordance with RCW 36.33A to provide for the operation, maintenance and replacement of
certain fleet equipment.
3.3 "Unrestricted Net Current Assets" means the difference between the total current financial assets
and total current liabilities of the fund. It represents the balance of all financial resources available
for current operations and appropriation and expenditure after all revenues and expenditures
have been accounted for at the end of a given period.
3.4 "Rental Rate" means the amount charged to the using agency for the use of Equipment Rental and
Revolving Fund vehicles or equipment.The rentals may be charged to user agencies on an hourly,
daily or monthly basis consistent with RCW 36.33A. Rental Rates include, but are not limited to,
1
charges for maintenance and operating costs, overhead costs, equipment replacement, non-
operating revenues, and other adjustments.
3.5 "Maintenance and Operating Costs" means the costs of keeping the vehicle or equipment in
operation. It includes, but is not limited to,the costs of fuel, oil,tires and tubes, batteries, and all
other parts and labor expended in order to maintain and operate the fleet.
3.6 "Overhead Costs" means the costs expended for providing general management, administrative
activities, insurance, rent, utilities, support services in managing the fleet and county-wide central
service charges.
3.7 "Replacement Factor" means the amount charged in order to accumulate the anticipated cost of
replacing vehicles and equipment at the end of their economic life.
3.8 "Sale Proceeds" means the proceeds from the sale of surplus vehicles and equipment.
3.9 "Other Adjustments" are amounts added to or credited to the rental rate to cover deficiencies or
surpluses in the prior year's operations.
Section 4, Operation of the ER&R Fund
4.1 The ER&R Fund is a revolving fund. Moneys paid to the fund each year in the form of rent,
replacement factor, sale proceeds and other adjustments are to provide for the replacement of a
percentage of the assets owned by the fund and to cover the costs of operating the fund each
year.
4.2 Each asset owned by the fund either must have itself been originally funded in full by its customer
department or must be a Fund-provided replacement for an earlier asset that was originally
funded in full by its customer department.The rent and other moneys paid to the fund by the
customer department following the provision of that asset are for the operation, maintenance,
repair,fuel, overhead, and replacement of the asset (strictly excluding repayment of any first costs
of procuring the asset).
4.3 Sufficient ER&R Fund balance must be maintained to provide for emergency and other
contingency situations and to provide stability and fluidity of asset replacement throughout each
year.The Fund balance will vary each year as assets are replaced, put into service and removed
from service.The Fund balance will vary from year to year as assets of greater than or less than
average capital costs are replaced or retained.
4.4 The amount of the fund expended in any given year will depend heavily on whether assets of
greater than average capital cost are scheduled for replacement that year.
4.5 Rental rates shall cover all costs of maintenance and repair, material and supplies consumed in
operating and maintaining equipment, administrative and central services overhead, and future
asset replacement.
4.6 The rental rate for each asset shall be charged beginning on the date the asset is issued to the
customer department and accepted by that department as properly configured for its use and
ending on the date the asset is surrendered to ER&R for disposal.
4.7 Hourly labor rates and mark-up rates on the supply of supplies, parts,fluids, fuel and any other
service or material furnished by the ER&R Fund shall cover all costs associated with the provision
of those services or materials. Labor and mark-up rates may lag actual costs by the time sufficient
to analyze a fiscal year's operations and to prepare rates for approval by customer departments
2
prior to their formation of their next budget. Further, rates may be adjusted so as to include
temporary or one-time costs or profits over the course of more than one fiscal year so as to lessen
variation in rental rates from year to year.
Section 5, Unrestricted Net Current Assets
5.1 Unrestricted Net Current Assets should be no less than 25%of the lifetime accumulated
depreciation for all vehicle/equipment assets currently owned by the fund, as determined by the
Working Capital Reserve Recommendation for Each County Fund as adopted by the Board of
County Commissioners(County Resolution 65-13 or subsequent resolutions as replace it).
5.2 Unrestricted Net Current Assets and the lifetime accumulated depreciation for all
vehicle/equipment assets currently owned by the fund will be measured on the last day of each
year for purposes of determining compliance with Subsection 1 of this Section.
5.3 Fund assets are stored and invested under the control of the Jefferson County Treasurer.
5.4 Any interest income generated by the Fund shall be deposited into the ER&R fund.
Section 6, Agreements with Customer Departments
6.1 By August 1st of each year,the manager of the Fleet Services Division shall, at a minimum,transmit
the following year's vehicle/equipment rates to each customer department. The rates should be
accompanied by an agreement for each customer department for the coming year.
6.2 Each agreement will detail the following:
6.2.a Fleet inventory assigned to the customer department;
6.2.b Rental rate for each assigned asset;
6.2.c Services to be provided by Fleet Services for each assigned asset;
6.2.d Costs and mark-up rates;
6.2.e The assigned assets to be replaced during the year and the estimated rental rate of each
replacement asset; and
6.2.f A summary of this policy as it applies to the relationship between Fleet Services and the
customer department.
6.3 The agreements will be reviewed and revised as needed during the year by mutual agreement of
both parties.
Section 7, Equipment Purchase
7.1 Fleet Services will purchase replacement and additional fleet assets after consultation with each
respective customer department.
7.2 Asset purchases will prioritize, roughly in order of importance,the following considerations:
7.2.a Safety of operation in intended application;
7.2.b Suitability for intended application;
7.2.c Anticipated efficiency in intended application
3
7.2.d Projected rental cost based on all known factors;
7.2.e Ability to reduce petroleum usage; and
7.2.f Availability of existing contract usable for purchase.
7.3 Replacement units will be purchased according to schedules determined by Fleet Services with the
concurrence of each respective customer department. The impact to the customer department's
operating budget must be considered, and the manager of Fleet Services shall estimate during
each budgeting process the changes to rental rates for each customer department during the next
budget year as a result of planned asset replacements in accordance with Subsection 6.2.e.
7.4 Any asset that would be an addition to the fleet rather than a replacement of an existing unit to be
removed from service must be funded in accordance with Subsection 4.2. Any department
requesting such an addition must have sufficient approved capital and ongoing funding to finance
the initial and ongoing costs of the additional asset.
Section 8, Rental Plan Options
8.1 Full rental:A monthly rental rate will be billed for each asset to cover depreciation, replacement
factor, maintenance, repair, overhead, and fuel costs. Rental rates should be adjusted annually to
keep pace with changes in the estimated replacement cost and/or lifecycle and to reflect actual
operational costs. Costs of major accidents and/or mechanical issues may be paid separately by
the customer department or may be included in the revised rental rates.
RCW 43.09.210 requires that "...All service rendered by ... one department ... to another, shall be
paid for at its true and full value by the department ... receiving the same, and no department ...
shall benefit in any financial manner whatever by an appropriation or fund made for the support of
another....".
Fleet Services will set rental rates with the intent of ensuring that customer departments pay their
fair and proportionate share for the assets they are using. Furthermore, rates will be set to
provide for consistency across classes of assets. In other words, Fleet will not set rates at the
individual asset level with the intent of reconciling each asset's rental income with its expenses
and estimated replacement. While such data is analyzed annually to inform decisions about rate
setting,the rates are managed at the asset class level and ultimately at the customer department
level. Rate setting is discussed further in Section 9.
8.2 Costs-only("Reimbursable"): Cost-only or"reimbursable" rental plans are strongly discouraged
and no longer regularly supported in the Fleet program, although some legacy vehicles still exist
under these plans. This model does not fairly distribute program overhead costs to these
customers. In this model, no regular rental rate is billed. Maintenance, repair and/or fuel costs
must be billed at mark-up rates as established and revised. Unit replacement at end of life is not
provided. Resale proceeds are returned to owning department.The availability of this type of
rental plan is limited to those units owned by customer departments and not by the ER&R fund.
This type of plan will only be considered for unique assets which are owned by departments and
which by their nature, are not easily integrated into the regular ER&R program. Examples might be
patrol boats or military equipment. Since these are not ER&R assets,the Fleet program may not
be well positioned to support these assets. Service for these assets will be at the discretion of the
manager of the Fleet program and will be secondary to preventative maintenance and repair
needed for Fleet-owned assets and their customers. Nothing shall prevent the ER&R program
from establishing a methodology for capturing fair and proportionate costs for overhead from the
reimbursable customer asset through an annual billing or billing at time of service. These assets
4
are normally given an asset number in CAMS preceded with a "9"to denote their reimbursable
status and to indicate that they are not Fleet owned.
8.3 Hybrid plans: Unique and legacy rental arrangements may be mutually agreed upon by Fleet
Services and the customer department. An example might be a plan that allows a customer to fuel
their vehicles at Fleet fuels sites when Fleet does not own the asset and is providing no other
services for the asset.
Section 9, Determination of Rental Rates
9.1 All rental rates will be set and/or reviewed by the County Engineer. The following costs shall be
included in the asset rental rate:
9.1.a Operations/Maintenance (O&M): Operating and maintenance costs shall be determined
by using the most recent cost information available for the preceding twelve months plus
a factor using comparable data, if available, for any anticipated increase in costs due to
increasing asset age. For vehicles or equipment with no cost history,the manager of Fleet
Services shall develop an estimate using whatever indices or comparable data are
available.
9.1.b Fuel: Fuel costs shall be determined by using the most recent usage information available
for the preceding twelve months and multiplying it by anticipated per-gallon costs for the
coming year(available from U.S. DOE EIA or commercial sources). For vehicles or
equipment with no usage history, the manager of Fleet Services shall develop an estimate
using comparable data or the usage history of the asset replaced by the one in question. A
similar methodology will be employed to calculate the "fuel" costs for electric vehicles if
Fleet is paying for the electricity. Currently, Fleet manages one EV charger at the
Courthouse. It is preferrable at this time for departments to provide for and manage their
own charging at their facilities since these systems are typically tied to the building's
electrical system and not metered separately.
9.1.c Depreciation and Replacement: The asset replacement premium is made up of two
components commonly referred to as"depreciation" and "replacement factor" or just
"replacement". Depreciation is computed by dividing asset purchase cost, inclusive of all
special equipment and upfitting costs, by of the lifecycle (in months) assigned to the asset.
The replacement factor represents the difference between the cost of acquiring the
current asset and the cost to acquire its future replacement(inclusive of all equipment and
upfitting),which will be higher due to inflation. The replacement factor shall be added to
the rental rate.This factor should, in general, account for inflation of at least 3%,
compounded annually, on the initial purchase cost of the asset. The replacement factor
may also be revised periodically if conditions warrant, such as when the customer
department chooses a different type of replacement or in the case of very long lifecycles
where such a blanket estimate is inadequate.
Asset replacement cost should be periodically updated to current actual cost, and
replacement charges adjusted accordingly. For all future purchases, asset purchase cost
shall include all costs of obtaining the asset and configuring it for service as required by the
customer department, including customization and upfitting unless other arrangements
are agreed upon with the customer regarding ahead of time.
9.1.d Program Overhead: Overhead costs include management and administration, facility
expenses, utilities,training,tools and equipment, insurance, software, etc. These costs are
partially captured in the shop rate charged when vehicles and equipment are worked on
5
and through markup on fuel and materials. Not all overhead can be accounted for through
the shop rate and markups, however, and it is necessary to collect funds through the
rental rate to cover overhead. Actual data from the prior year and projections for the
budget year are used to estimate the overhead which must be captured this way.
The overhead premium is distributed equally to each asset by dividing the total program
overhead costs, minus any overhead captured through the shop rate and other markups,
by the number of assets in the Fleet program and assigning this to each asset's rental rate
as a flat monthly charge.
9.2 The following costs shall be excluded from the rental rate, not charged to the ER&R fund nor paid
by Fleet Services, and instead shall be paid directly or charged to the respective customer
department:
9.2.a Traffic and parking fines;
9.2.b Parking fees;
9.2.c Tolls and ferry fees;
9.2.d Collision insurance;
9.2.e Replacement and repair costs due to major damage; and
9.2.f Costs due to loss,fraud, waste, misuse or abuse on the part of any customer department's
employee where such cost results from failure on the part of the customer department to
monitor and control its employee's usage of fleet assets or supplies or where the loss of
any key, access card or PIN used to perpetrate the loss or fraud is not immediately
reported to Fleet Services.
9.2.g Fuel purchased outside of the ER&R fueling sites, other than that purchased on a WEX card
issued by Fleet Services.
9.3 The residual or resale value of any asset shall be included in the rental rate as a deduction from
the initial acquisition cost.This residual value shall be estimated initially and may also be revised
periodically if conditions warrant.The initial estimate is typically set at 10%of the original
purchase cost. Special equipment and upfitting is not included in the residual value since it may be
moved to another asset(replacement), removed before auction, and has very little value to the
average auction buyer.
9.4 The manager of the Fleet Services Division will periodically estimate end-of-life gain or loss for
each asset and propose adjustments to rental rates as necessary to ensure the ER&R Fund is
neither accumulating excess rental revenue nor suffering a shortfall for any customer group or
class of asset. Fleet does not reconcile profit/loss at the asset level. Some assets in the same class
may"lose" money while others may"gain" money. The goal is to set consistent rates across asset
classes and to make sure that no fund or customer is benefitting at another's expense.
9.5 There should be no expectation that Fleet will perform an exhaustive or exact reconciliation of
customer asset revenue/expense annually. Asset rate setting is not an exact science. Actual cost
data is reviewed annually to inform annual rate setting with the goal that each customer will pay
their fair and proportionate share. It needs to be recognized that expenses can vary significantly
from year-to-year and from asset-to-asset (even identical assets) and that chasing data that is over
a year old to set rates for the following year could lead to wild fluctuations and variability in the
rates, which is undesirable.
6
9.6 Rental rates established pursuant to this policy shall be subject to annual review and approval by
the County Engineer and County Commission; this typically occurs through the County's normal
annual budgeting process in the August/September timeframe.
9.7 Hourly Rental Rates(Roads): For Road Fund assets only, hourly rental rates may also be assigned
for the purpose of job costing; however, rent paid to ER&R for these assets is still based on the
monthly rental rate set as described above in Section 9.1. These hourly rates will be set by the
County Engineer.
Section 10, Options for Normal Termination of Rental
10.1 Replacement of like kind needed: Replacement unit will be procured; retired unit will be disposed
of. Both asset files will be marked with a clear indication that the unit was replaced by the
replacement unit, including both asset numbers.
When it is time to replace an asset, Fleet Services will review with the customer department the
funds available to use for the replacement (See Section 15 for more discussion on this topic). If the
amount of replacement funds collected for the asset have not been adequate to replace the asset,
Fleet Services and the customer department may agree to:
10.1.a Defer the replacement to allow more replacement funds to accumulate if the asset is
serviceable;
10.1.b Customer may contribute additional funds for the asset's replacement to fund the
difference;
10.1.c Fleet Services and the customer department may agree to use funds accrued for
replacement of other assets that the customer/department is renting, but must
understand that this will mean the replacement of these other assets will necessarily be
deferred. Fleet Services and the customer may need to agree on rate increases
throughout the customer's fleet to address replacement shortfalls. As of 2025, this has
become necessary as rapid inflation has outpaced the replacement premium charged in
the fleet.
10.2 Unit no longer needed and no replacement needed:The unit to be retired will be disposed of.
Depreciation and replacement costs were paid during the rental of the unit. For small customer
departments renting only a few assets, it may be appropriate to examine whether any of these
accumulated funds should be returned to that department or, alternatively, used to help fund
other future replacements for the same customer. For larger customer departments, rapid
inflation in recent years has resulted in underfunding for replacements, and therefore it is likely a
best practice to retain any accumulated funds for future replacements of other assets used by the
same customer department. Since the scenario described in this Section 10.2 does not often
happen, each situation is unique and should be treated as such.
10.3 Replacement of non-like kind needed: Fleet Services will prepare an estimate of the replacement
unit to be procured; retired unit will be disposed of. When the replacement asset will cost more
than the like-kind replacement,the customer may be required to fund the difference or defer
replacements of other assets. See discussion in 10.1 above.
Section 11, Options for Early Termination of Rental
11.1 Unit no longer needed or its operation no longer funded and no replacement needed: Another
customer department may assume the rental and use of the unit, or the unit may be sold at
surplus auction.
7
11.2 Unit damaged beyond repair and no replacement needed: Unit will be declared surplus and
disposed of appropriately. Since, in theory,the customer funded the purchase of the original unit,
even if it has been replaced several times over in the intervening years,the customer is not
required to pay off any outstanding depreciation on the damaged unit.
11.3 Unit damaged beyond repair and replacement needed: Customer department may pay separately
the sudden depreciation and additional replacement factor necessary to replace the vehicle.
Alternatively, in order to defray budget impacts of a sudden unforeseen event,the customer may
agree to continue paying the depreciation and replacement factor left deficient at the time of the
vehicle's damage in addition to the depreciation/replacement on the new replacement vehicle. In
no case shall outstanding depreciation and replacement costs be added to the rental rate of the
replacement or any other vehicle; however,the option of the customer department continuing to
pay the capital costs of a vehicle that is no longer in operation has much the same budgetary
impact. If such an arrangement is agreed upon,there must be adequate documentation in the
CAMS or other financial system regarding the reason that depreciation/replacement is still being
charged on an asset that no longer is physically present in the fleet.
Section 12, Options for Extension of Rental Agreement
12.1 Fleet Services and the customer department will periodically review the performance of the
customer's fleet and may agree that certain assets should not be replaced at the time originally
specified. It may be that the asset is not being used as heavily as originally predicted and that the
customer can continue to utilize the asset beyond its originally intended replacement date, which
may come with a reduced rental rate.
12.2 Depreciation lifespan of the asset is set when the asset is acquired. This usually cannot be
changed in the CAMS and MUNIS systems once it has been set. When the customer's rents have
fully depreciated the asset(minus auction value),this component of the rent automatically is no
longer collected from the customer by the CAMS system. When this occurs,the rental rate should
be adjusted in CAMS to collect the depreciation component through the end of the calendar year
by adding it to the replacement component. This is because rental rates are set on a calendar year
basis and should not change mid-year due to the complications this creates for Fund management.
If the customer will continue to use the asset beyond its fully depreciated life,the replacement
component of the rent must continue to be collected until replacement in order to cover annual
inflation. During this extended life period,the rental rate would be the combination of the
replacement factor, O&M,fuel, and overhead, but since there is no longer a depreciation
component (after the end of the calendar year),the rental rate will naturally cost the customer
less each month going forward. This may be mutually beneficial to both the customer and Fleet
Services.
12.3 It could be argued that holding on to assets longer than planned reduces their value at auction.
However, it should also be recognized that there is a perception by some elected officials and
members of the public that the government should not be replacing perfectly serviceable assets.
Take a balanced approach.
Section 13, Equipment Disposal
13.1 Public surplus auction:Assets that are no longer needed are declared surplus by the Board of
Commissioners via a resolution. Fleet Services coordinates this action with the County's Treasurer.
Once assets have been declared surplus, advertisements are placed indicating when/where assets
will be made available for auction. This is typically a general advertisement, not specific to a set
8
date/time. Fleet Services has had good success selling assets through GovDeals.com which
satisfies the applicable RCWs related to public auctions and advertisements
13.2 No surplus asset will be sold to the manager of Fleet Services nor to an immediate family member
thereof.
13.3 No surplus asset will be sold to an employee of Fleet Services, to any county employee who was a
regularly assigned driver or operator of the asset,to any county employee who was the manager
or supervisor responsible for the use of the asset, nor to any immediate family member thereof
unless said family member is purchasing on behalf of a company and not for personal use.
13.4 All assets shall be clearly and publicly advertised in a consistent manner to gain maximum
exposure to a potential bidder pool. Current practice is to advertise on platforms such as
GovDeals with supplemental outreach on social media and the County's website.
13.5 Fleet, at its discretion, may assist with auctioning non-Fleet owned vehicle/equipment assets.
Fleet will charge the customer for this service at 15%of the asset's sale value at auction and not
less than $250. Fleet will not manage auctions for other county items or property. Departments
should make their own arrangements for disposing of these items.
Section 14, Second-Life Vehicles/Equipment
14.1 Previous versions of this policy allowed county departments to purchase used vehicles from Fleet
Services once they were no longer needed and then place them into a "reimbursable" service
program. As discussed in Section 8.2,this type of rental arrangement is generally no longer
supported except in special cases.
14.2 Fleet Services recognizes that there may be times when spares or extra vehicles make sense for a
department's program and that used Fleet vehicles may be appropriate to fill these needs. These
"second-life" assets should not be used to avoid higher rental costs associated wtih
vehicles/equipment that are needed for daily or regular program use. They should only be
considered for spares, backups, intermittent, or temporary use.
14.3 Fleet Services and a customer department agree that a second-life vehicle is an appropriate way to
meet the customer department's needs. This may be accomplished through the following steps:
14.3.a For the purposes of customer billing,the current vehicle asset number is "retired" in CAMS
and a new asset number is assigned. The new asset number will be the old asset number
preceded by a "7". For example, asset#962 would become a "new" asset numbered#7962.
This is an important step. Experience has shown that without a re-numbering system, Fleet
personnel and customers lose track of which vehicles are first-life and eligible for replacement
and which are second-life and therefore not eligible for replacement.
When creating a second-life vehicle, it is not necessary nor desirable to set up a "new" asset in
MUNIS.There is still only one (1) asset, and MUNIS tracts the original asset from purchase
through disposal. Therefore, when a unit is placed into"second-life" status, no changes are
necessary in the MUNIS system.
14.3.b Sufficient documentation will be entered into the CAMS system under both the original asset
number and new asset number so that there are records detailing what happened in both
places. The original asset (in this example#962) will be marked as"Out of Service" in CAMS.
Do not mark it as "Sold" because it is still part of the inventory,just with a new number for the
purposes of customer billing. Add notes in CAMS indicating that the asset was assigned a new
number(in this example#7962). Do not overwrite previous entries in the CAMS system;
9
instead add a new line to add a note or other information. It is helpful to retain the history
through the life of the asset.
14.3.c The second-life asset (in this example#7962)will have its acquisition value set appropriately.
This may be determined from "Blue Book"value, by estimating auction value from experience,
or by using 10%of the original purchase cost.
14.3.d This acquisition value will be entered into the financial records for the asset and 90%of this
value will be depreciated over no more than a two (2)year timeframe. Make sure to select the
"Apply Depreciation"option in CAMS. It is important to set short life spans on these second-
life vehicles for collecting remaining value, even if the customer will use the vehicle for a
longer period of time. Be aware of the risks of keeping assets as they increasingly age.
14.3.e All other components of the rental rate on a second-life asset will be set as normal and as
described in section 8.1 Full Rental Rate; however, there will be no "replacement" component
since the vehicle is not intended to be replaced. Depreciation, O&M,fuel, and overhead
components will apply to form the monthly rental rate for the second-life asset. Typically,the
O&M and fuel rates should be less than a front-line vehicle since the second-life vehicle will be
used as a spare. The depreciation component of the rental rate will drop off after the asset's
value is depreciated (two years).
14.4 When the customer department no longer needs the second-life vehicle, it will be disposed of by
Fleet Services as per Section 13. Update records in CAMS for both the original asset number(#962)
and new asset number(#7962) as "Sold"with the appropriate date noted.
Section 15, Fund Management at the Customer/Department Level
15.1 The amount of vehicle/equipment rental income charged to a customer department shall be
monitored to ensure the ER&R Fund neither loses money by providing an asset to a customer
department nor accrues excessive cash balance beyond appropriate established reserves plus
monies accumulated for asset replacements,future Fleet program expenses, and overhead. This
shall be in keeping with RCW 43.09.210,which requires, in part,that "...All service rendered by...
one department ... to another, shall be paid for at its true and full value by the department...
receiving the same, and no department ... shall benefit in any financial manner whatever by an
appropriation or fund made for the support of another....". Appropriate adjustments to rates will
be made annually(and no more frequently than annually except in exceptional cases)to meet this
requirement.
15.2 Fleet Services does not reconcile expense/revenue at the per asset level as there is no
requirement to do so. Asset data is periodically reviewed to help inform the process of setting
appropriate rental rates at the asset class and customer level. Consistency among rates
throughout asset classes is an important consideration in fleet management. "Chasing" lagging
actual data to perfectly reconcile the balance sheet on each asset is also not an appropriate use of
limited staff time and beyond the practical limitations of the fleet management software as well.
15.3 Funds for equipment/vehicle replacement are derived from the "depreciation" and "replacement"
components of an asset's rental rate. Fleet maintains a master rental rate spreadsheet for each
customer/department which tallies how much depreciation and replacement revenue is collected
each year, by customer/department. Equipment/vehicle purchases for replacements are tallied on
this same spreadsheet and deducted from the customer's accumulated replacement revenue. This
provides a record of the running balance available for each customer's asset replacements from
year to year.

Section 16, Fleet Services Operations and Billing
16.1 All time for which Fleet Services Staff are compensated, all parts issued and all fuel and fluid
dispensed will be billed to the appropriate accounting codes,whether to individual fleet assets,to
departmental asset accounts or to indirect codes internal to Fleet Services funds. Rates will reflect
the following additional costs:
16.1.a Labor rates billed will be at a rate that includes all benefits, indirect time,facility costs,
mechanical shop and service costs, administrative and support services and other
overhead costs attributable in general to the services provided by Fleet Services;
16.1.b Parts mark-up rates will be calculated to include all costs incumbent in ordering, stocking
and dispensing stocked and special-order parts; and
16.1.c Fuel mark-up rates will be calculated to include all costs of operation of the fuel sites.
16.2 Fleet Services shall evaluate general work categories and individual instances of repair work and
will either perform the tasks in house or outsource them, whichever is, in the judgment of Fleet
Services, most economical, efficient and effective.
16.3 Fleet Services will strive to consolidate orders of vehicles, equipment,fuels, fluids, parts and
services, and to limit diversity within the fleet to the minimum necessary to support customer
operations, preserve competition and maintaining a diverse, competitive and flexible supplier
base. Fleet Services' goal in this area shall be to enhance consistency within the fleet.
16.4 While complying with all applicable purchasing laws, Fleet Services will use the most economical
and competitive methods of procuring vehicles, equipment, fuels,fluids, parts and services. Such
methods may include use of Washington State Department of Enterprise Services contracts,
cooperative procurement with other county or municipal entities and the standard procurement
processes of Jefferson County.
16.5 Fleet Services will maintain and operate a data system designed for and capable of tracking,
monitoring and reporting comprehensive information on the costs and usage of all fleet assets.
Fleet Services will make such information and analysis as is requested available to its customer
departments upon request.
