Service Level Details

Service Level Two provides asset procurement and replacement management paired with ongoing vehicle management services. This is a good choice for departments needing to acquire vehicles that are not available in the rental pool (Level One).

  • The initial capital is transferred to Motor Pool who completes the vehicle acquisition, outfitting and all onboarding tasks.
  • A lease fee is developed and charged to the unit to recover the purchase price of the vehicle and all allowable costs of placing the vehicle into service. The lease fee is set at the monthly depreciation amount according to asset type, and an activity code is used to track payments for transfer to reserve.
  • At the end of the accounting useful life, the unit will have the option to replace the existing vehicle or postpone to a future time. The surplus/disposition of the vehicle will be handled as needed under the professional guidance of the Motor Pool.
  • If a department wants to enroll an existing asset that has remaining useful life into Service Level Two, they can transfer the asset and recover its remaining useful life in reserves through the lease fee to offset future replacement costs.
  • If the unit were unfunded or replacement is not desired, the total of the reserve amount for the vehicle shall be returned to the unit. In this circumstance, the Motor Pool would be given the opportunity to buy the remainder of the useful life of the vehicle or the vehicle will be transferred to the unit out of the service center fund.
