Dick Zimmerman (RZ) and Jim Borsari
Discussed current refurbishing schedule for all LEXPR vehs.
Behind sched.
Reviewed additional costs for veh "add ons"
RZ recommended we consider 3 new vehic and 3 current vehs as
bkups. (3 used vehs will be cheaper than 1 new. ) Two
already refurbished. (6 for 4 rtes has occasionally not been
enough; accidents and structural dmamage--long times)
maintenance up to par with enough extra vehicles.
He recommended roof escape hatch, 4 emergency exits instead
of 2, starter 300 amps, top open windows ("top T sliders")
RZ reports that
prox
$550/veh/momntnce average
4nv were $31,000)
Insurance req may limit how much others' bids are
$2200-2300/veh/yr for RZ
Others may have to pay $4000+
RZ will own, not lease
Every risk we take out of contr lowers price
Fuel escala not enough; 1.6 gals should be 2 gals/hr
partly because of warmup time
Expect $35/hr min and into $40
Uniform fleet reduces mntnce.
Rest of meeting after they left
Decided contr would allow either 1 new or slightly used, or
2 or 3 used bkup vehs. Req bkup in Lex at all times. Include
eLectric door.
