Public works fleet management is the lifeblood of countless public works activities.

PWC is a company you want on your side because we care about our clients. Continue reading below to learn more about all the different services we provide our customers.
Public Works Fleet Management and Technology Reporting
Every fleet manager experiences some form of operational challenges, some of which include maintenance, operational costs, time, driver safety, and repairs. Telematics is the number one best way for fleet managers to overcome these challenges, but it must be properly implemented.
The consultants at Public Works Consultants are here to provide the necessary assistance to ensure proper record keeping of the above-stated metrics. PWC also makes sure the fleet organization is getting the most out of its telematics systems, as well as other systems, including fuel management and work order management systems. Just having the systems isn’t always enough, the fleet managers must be able to properly utilize them in order to yield the best tracking results.
Compliance Audits and Contract Feasibility Analysis
We will equip you with the right answers and tools to the questions that are often asked regarding where tax dollars can be saved. Many of these questions revolve around outsourcing fleet activities. However, outsourcing isn’t always necessary.
Our consultants take all this into consideration when assisting our clients. Typically, we start by assessing how competitive the organization is with costs, performance, and service. That is when we determine whether or not outsourcing is feasible, but if your pricing and performance are competitive, outsourcing doesn’t even need to be considered.
The age of the fleet and working conditions are other performance tools we assess. In the end, if outsourcing is necessary for your organization, we can assist in this venture as well by auditing your contractor.
Public Works Fleet Management and Maintenance
There aren’t many things that are more important than fleet maintenance when it comes to public works fleet management. Regular maintenance will ensure the fleet stays in the most efficient working conditions to lower the cost of repairs and increase the availability of the overall fleet.
Our job is to provide our clients with a detailed assessment of maintenance and repair, including any preventative maintenance to ensure it complies with mandatory inspections. Also included in this report are any roadside assistant agreements, emergency repairs, and the management of any existing warranties.
For those that employ in house maintenance, we can provide assurance in this area as well by making sure things like staff size, training, scheduling, required certification, equipment, replacement parts, and work quality are all adequate.
Fleet Composition and Size
If a fleet is not properly utilized, it can quickly lead to unnecessary spending. Leave it to us to assess the data recorded for each vehicle in the fleet and determine whether or not your fleet is utilized properly to avoid unnecessary repair costs or prolonged downtime.
That said, we will need more data than just how many miles each car drives. It is important information but can be misleading in some circumstances, including the use of emergency vehicles. These vehicles aren’t used as often as other vehicles in the fleet, but are still a vital part of the operation and are therefore properly utilized.
Taking this into consideration, the data we acquire will allow us to create calculations regarding the overall average each vehicle is used, along with what an ideal minimum use is and the vehicles with the lowest mileage. All of these calculations and more will help us determine how to make sure your fleet stays appropriately maintained.
Fleet Replacement Plans
From the start of figuring out which vehicles to replace, all the way to the end of selecting the replacements and correct disposal of old vehicles and equipment, we are here to keep your replacement plans as detailed and efficient as possible. We start by evaluating the finances and funding plans for replacement vehicles and vehicle specifications plans, along with the replacement, purchasing, and disposal plans. Once all is evaluated, we determine how to utilize organizational spending better.
