CENTRAL SERVICES – FLEET FUEL
Oakland County currently has underg round storage tanks that hold up to 32,000 gallons of fuel. In addition
the County has a reciprocal agreement with the Road Commission to use their fueling sites across the
county. As fuel prices have been rising during the past couple of years, the Vehic le Operations staff has
contacted several departments requesting they institute fuel saving measures. In addition, staff has been
researching alternative fuel and hybrid vehicles. The Sheriff's Office has 20 Chevrolet Tahoe's capable of
running on alternative fuel (E85), which at this time, is in short supply in this area. Vehicle Operations
recently completed a review of a Chevrolet hybrid pickup truck; the response by the user departments was
very favorable. At this time it appears six of these vehicl es will be purchased during the FY05/06 fiscal year.
A lifecycle cost comparison will be prepared comparing the hybrid with its gas counter -part.
Nash moved to Receive & File the Report. Supported by Douglas.
