Public Works seeks NAPA partnership to centralize fleet parts and improve uptime
Summary
Public Works proposed outsourcing parts inventory management to NAPA Integrated Business Solutions to improve availability, reduce administrative invoices and shorten vehicle downtime; staff said the agreement would likely be five years and council asked for the presentation slides for review.
Public Works outlined a recommendation to contract with NAPA Integrated Business Solutions to manage the city’s fleet parts inventory and associated staffing. The department said it currently processes roughly 13,000 invoices annually across about 900 pieces of equipment, and that centralizing parts management with NAPA would reduce administrative burden and improve parts availability and turnaround times.
The director said NAPA could provide local stocking, logistics and data-driven inventory optimization; the city would reallocate existing parts staff into a service-writer role and an additional mechanic rather than growing headcount. Council members expressed support for the efficiency goals and asked staff to circulate the presentation slides; staff said the contract would likely be for a five-year term and that they will return with contract language and anticipated savings.
