Project Name: Replacement of PAVE Van New: Yes Replacement: Yes Current Ages: 14 Years Estimated Life: 10 years Reason for Need: The only passenger vehicle currently owned by the district is a 2002 van used for the special education PAVE program. This vehicle is used to transport students to various work learning opportunities and community experiences in the area. Having this ability in-house has yielded additional flexibility and cost savings over reliance on an outside vendor. The district purchased this van in FY2015 for $13,500 and the district expense for gas, repairs, and insurance is $3,000 each year. Appropriately licensed special education staff transport the students at no additional cost to the district. The exterior and the interior of the PAVE van must have state safety inspections 3 times per year. Although current repair costs have been minimal, the vehicle should be replaced in FY2021 and then again every 10 years. This is anticipated to be a capital expense in FY2021. In the past, the district had 16 in-house vans, 1 car, and 11 drivers for transport of special needs students, both in and out of district. While this had the potential to save costs on paper, the reality was that managing a fleet of this magnitude was daunting. Additionally, the district was unable to support the needed vehicle repairs and maintenance for the aging fleet. The decision to out-source was made when several of the vehicles needed simultaneous replacement and no funds were available.
