July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011 Report continued from the Public Works Department ADMINISTRATION VEHICLE MAINTENANCE As in years past the talented staff of the Vehicle Maintenance Division continued servicing all town and school department vehicles. The Vendor-Based Inventory parts department that went into effect at the end of FY10 continues to operate. The concept of an outside company owning and managing inventory has many benefits. 1. No overhead — We do not pay for parts until they are installed on the vehicle. All stock in the parts room is the property of the vendor. 2. We no longer have obsolete parts. 3. The staff for the program is provided by the vendor. In the upcoming year I hope to expand the range of products offered to office supplies as well as other items used town-wide on a daily basis. Support for all divisions within Public Works comes from the administrative staff. Of the 30 team members two are dedicated to administrative affairs. Jolene Bouchard and Tracy Cole are the two voices you hear when you call in to Public Works. They are responsible for initiating the majority of requests for service that will eventually be completed by us. Last year there were over 1,163 work orders created. Of those calls for service over half of them were resolved within 5 days or less. This fact pleases me because when all is said and done Public Works is a service business with taxpayers and the general public as our customers. While Public Works continues to evolve to be relevant in todays changing times we stay true to our mission statement of “Serving the community with a professional attitude while working as a team!” Thank you to the residents, town council, and town manager for your continued faith in Public Works team. This year the school department ordered two new propanepowered buses through a grant from the State Department of Environmental Protection. This program was a 2-part multi year grant with two propane powered buses purchased the previous year. The cost of diesel fuel currently averages $3.80 per gallon while propane averages $2.62 per gallon with the federal rebate factored in. Considering the typical school bus travels 18,000 miles per year there is a potential savings of $21,240.00 per bus. I want to extend a special thanks to Vehicle Maintenance Supervisor Jay Nason for his efforts in working on this grant. With fuel prices constantly on the rise fuel saving initiatives continue to be on the top of our priority list. Respectfully Submitted, Michael E. Shaw, Director of Public Works Public Works installed two Idle-Right systems on crew trucks. These units allow a vehicle to run its warning lights while on a traffic detail without the engine running to keep the battery charged. The savings on gas and equipment wear is dramatic. Along these lines four more plow trucks received Auto- Therm units through yet another grant from the State Department of Environmental Protection. The purpose of the Auto-Therm unit is to keep windows defrosted using residual engine heat without the need to idle engines. With fuel around $3.80 per gallon, you can imagine the savings. 42
