Vector Fleet reports zero recordable injuries, $76,000 in client savings during 2023–24 year
Summary
Vector Fleet presented its annual review to the Big Spring City Council, reporting no recordable injuries, maintenance metrics for city vehicles, staffing levels, technician training requirements, and a $76,000 client shared-savings check to the city.
Terry Good, a Vector Fleet representative, told the Big Spring City Council during a public hearing that the company recorded zero reportable or recordable injuries during the 2023–24 contract year and is presenting the city a $76,000 client shared-savings check.
The presentation summarized the contractor’s performance and why it matters to city operations. Good described company safety programs, technician training and quality-assurance audits that he said contributed to the safety record and operational performance.
Vector’s site staffing plan, Good said, calls for a site manager, an administrative assistant and five technicians; the contractor reported it currently has six of seven technician slots filled at the Big Spring site. The report listed 366 units maintained for the city over the contract year, 71 mobile service calls, 441 preventive-maintenance (PM) oil changes, 31 PM audits and 361 tire replacements.
Good described the contractor’s training expectations, saying technicians complete 30 hours of “core” training and receive certifications such as ASE and vendor programs. “We like to think we do a very good job with that,” Good said.
On finances, Good said the contract returned $76,000 to the city in client shared savings for the year and that, since the contract began in 2018, Vector has returned $575,000 in shared savings. He also said a $75-per-repair-order deductible that began in February 2019 has returned $385,601 to the city; combining those figures, Good said, totals about $960,601 returned since early 2019. Good presented the $76,000 check and said the amount goes back into the city’s service center.
Good also acknowledged a recent error on the contractor’s part that he said the company absorbed. He described an instance in which Vector installed an engine he said cost $9,000 and that the company covered that cost rather than charging the city.
Council members asked no formal questions during the presentation; Public Works staff and the council thanked the company for its work and for on-site management. The presentation was informational and no formal vote followed.
