"1'he replacement cost of cash vehicle is based on the anticipated price in the year of purchase divided by the years of expected service. Each of the fleet's more than 500 vehicles is scheduled for preventative maintenance, based on nvleage. and use to ensure safety and response capability. "1'he Automotive Section tracks each vehicle's nvlcage, use, performance, and repairs. if a trend develops due to increased vehicle failure or need for repair, maintenance schedules arc adjusted as necessary to correct any problems or potential problems. If any apparatus develops ongoing issues, the vehicle's use and life span are re-evaluated and adjusted accordingly. The routine fleet maintenance of Fire Authority vehicles is normally performed at our headquarters facility in Ir~rine, and relieF equipment is placed in service while the unit is c>ut f<~r maintenance. All Santa Ana units have. been rc~-icwcd and evaluated by our I~lcet Services Section. Equipment currently assigned to the Fire Department and not reyuestcd by OCFA will return to the City, or, the City may choose to have <7C1~A sell the equipment on public Auction with the monies gained from the sale applied to the contract.
