I. WORKSCOPE A. Background: For decades, the City has outsourced the maintenance of its fleet vehicles, including, but not limited to, vehicles and equipment used for policing, firefighting, heavy duty vehicles, and snow removal. The prompt and cost-effective maintenance of these assets is, therefore, of paramount importance to the administration and to City Council. The City is neither the owner of the real property which hosts the garage, nor the assets used to repair and maintain the fleet. The employees that service the vehicles are not employees of the City, although the tradesmen employed there are members of the Service Employees International Union ("SEIU"). The City and its governing body wish to obtain a complete cost assessment and operational impact of insourcing the fleet maintenance operations. For the purposes of this request, the bidder should assume that all tradesmen and maintenance staff insourced would collectively bargain under the City's existing SEIU contract, and that these bargaining employees would be supervised by non-bargaining staff. B. Project Scope: The selected vendor will provide a complete direct and indirect cost analysis of insourcing the fleet maintenance operations, as well as long-term liabilities. The direct cost of insourcing will compute all personnel costs, including, but not limited to, wages, premium pay, health and prescription coverage, pension fund contributions (the MMO), FICA, and shift differential. Direct cost computations will also include the acquisition of capital assets to perform maintenance, average annualized cost of parts, supplies, utilities, leases, fuel, oil, grease, office supplies and IT equipment, equipment maintenance, uniforms, training, third-party contracts, and any other fixed or variable costs not enumerated in this subsection. Indirect costs will compute estimated annualized burden on HR, finance, procurement, IT, risk management, and legal services. Software support and licensing charges will be included.
