1.0 FUND PURPOSE
This document provides policies and procedures for administration of the Equipment Rental and
Revolving (ER&R) Fund. It also provides consistent guidelines for assignment, use, and
management of Grant County vehicles and equipment.
2.0 FUND MANAGEMENT
The Deputy Public Works Director is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Equipment
Rental and Revolving Fund, including staff management, equipment purchasing, equipment
maintenance, and facilities management. However, the County Road Engineer provides
technical and budgetary oversight of the fund as required by WAC 136-600. The Deputy Public
Works Director typically designates the Fleet Manager to handle the day-to-day operations and
the Accounting Deputy to handle continuous budgetary accounting.
all , C 0A N IDLIT, A � I
All County Departments/Offices strive to provide effective and efficient services to the citizens
of Grant County. In serving our customers, we often rely on the use of motor vehicles or other
types of equipment. Accordingly, it is critical that we operate and manage the County's fleet
efficiently, cost effectively, and that we maximize the fleet's operational readiness and
reliability.
The Public Works Department maintains an asset record for all vehicles and equipment in the
fleet. The asset record helps the Public Works Department capture a complete history including
original purchase price, usage, fuel consumption, service, repair information, depreciation, and
salvage value. These components are used to determine appropriate vehicle and equipment
rental rates.
The Equipment Rental and Revolving Fund (ER&R) use is mandated for Road Fund vehicles
and equipment by RCW 36.33A. However, all other County Departments/Funds have the option
to conduct their own vehicle and equipment management or utilize the ER&R Fund. RCW
36.33A directs the county to establish, by resolution, an "equipment rental and revolving fund"
but does not provide specific policies or practices for administering this fund.
Grant County Board of Commissioners created an Equipment Rental and Revolving fund by
resolution December 22 nd , 1977, resolution number 77-164-CC.
EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND REVOLVING FUND #26-02
EFFECTIVE 01-01-2026 PAGE:3
The Equipment Rental and Revolving Fund was created with the main purposes to:
• Manage procurement, maintenance, warranty, and disposition of county fleet vehicles;
including parts, materials, fuels, and supplies.
• Identify procedures for establishing rates, service levels, replacement of equipment, and
services provided within this fund.
• Ensure the availability of safe, cost effective, and reliable vehicles and equipment that
meet the County's needs.
• Establish cost containment procedures that reflect proper fiscal management of these
resources and ensure proper equipment maintenance and replacement: including the
research and documentation needed to support these activities within governmental
regulations and policies.
5.0 APPLICABILITY
This policy applies to all Grant County Offices, Departments, and to County Officials and their
employees that utilize ER&R resources and services.
6.0 FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
The ER&R fund is an internal service fund which is structured to be self-sustaining (See Section
17.0 for a list of relevant RCWs). The goal of ER&R is to establish rates that both optimize
costs to the departments and offices of Grant County and maintain the character and viability of
the ER&R fund. Revenue collected for replacement of equipment is the property of the ER&R
fund which should be invested only into allowable investments and shall not be transferred to
other funds. The County Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director (or designee) is responsible
for ensuring that ER&R has adequate funds available to cover costs associated with both normal
operations and annual equipment replacement needs. ER&R must also have adequate reserves to
cover expenses which may be incurred from unforeseen catastrophic events. If applicable,
Interest earned by the ER&R reserves will be applied to future fuel system improvements. The
ER&R fund is structured in accordance with the "Budgeting Accounting and Reporting System"
(BARS).
6.1 FUND RESERVE ELEMENTS
• Vehicle and Equipment rental
• Reimbursable service
• Reimbursable materials
• Inflation rate estimates — New Purchases
• Surcharge rate — Parts and Materials
• Revenue from interest earned if applicable
• Revenue from surplus and salvage
• Administrative fees

7.0 PROCUREMENT, TRANSFER, REPLACEMENT, AND DISPOSITION
Each vehicle or piece of equipment managed by ER&R is owned by Grant County and is rented
by the Department that utilizes it. For the purposes of this document the term "Operator" is used
in reference to the Department utilizing specific vehicles or equipment.
7.1 PROCUREMENT
New vehicles and equipment are typically purchased as replacements for older vehicles in the
fleet. Replacement schedules are developed by evaluating a combination of factors, including
years in service, mileage, cost of operation and available funding. These nese factors, together with
anticipated needs of the applicable Department Heads and Elected Officials, determine
replacement requirements. Planned replacement of vehicles keeps operational expenses in check,
provides safe, reliable transportation for employees, and demonstrates responsible management
of County fleet assets. Procurement of new vehicles is completed through one of several
methods, in accordance with the Grant County Purchasing Policy # 1601 adopted by the Board of
Commissioners.
Grant County purchases new equipment by using contracts competitively bid and awarded by
other public agencies, provided specific legal conditions are met.
When required equipment cannot be found on any existing public contracts, the County
procures vehicles using a competitive, sealed bid process. If the estimated value of the new
equipment is less than $50,000, the County can also use the approved Vendor's List
procurement process.
EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND REVOLVING FUND #26-02
EFFECTIVE 01-01-2026 PAGE:5
If quality used equipment meets the needs of the County, such equipment can be procured at
auction or by using existing public contracts available for the purchase of used equipment.
The Fleet Manager (or Designee) will coordinate with Departments when procuring new
vehicles to make sure the specific operational needs of the Departments are met. The Fleet
Manager (or Designee) will work with and communicate the findings with Departments to
ensure cost containment procedures are followed that reflect sound fiscal management. The
Accounting Deputy (or Designee) will ensure all new purchases are included in the ER&R
budget and reviewed for approval by the Board of County Commissioners. The Accounting
Deputy (or Designee) will coordinate with Departments to ensure projected annual rental rates
are understood and included in their respective budgets.
Once new vehicles are purchased and received by the County, the Fleet Manager (or
Designee) ensures that they are properly registered and titled under Grant County.
Consistent with internal control principles, the Fleet Manager (or Designee) shall retain and
safeguard, all titles, ownership documents, and associated records for fleet vehicles and
equipment under the supervision of the County Engineer/Public Works Director.
7.2 DISPOSITION
All vehicles and equipment in the fleet have general target dates for replacement. The projected
vehicle life is set to maximize operational effectiveness and return on investment upon final sale
or trade. The anticipated life cycle of a vehicle is critical in establishing accurate rental rates as it
establishes the projected period which all operational costs are distributed, and replacement
revenue generated.
As a vehicle approaches the end of its designated life cycle, final disposition becomes a
managerial decision based on a combination of factors. Each vehicle must be considered
individually in terms of reliability, maintenance, safety and salvage value. Adequate record
keeping, and analysis of vehicle costs are very important to timely and effective disposition.
The Fleet Manager (or Designee) will review all pertinent vehicle information and work with
department/office managers in making final vehicle disposition decisions. Even though a
vehicle is no longer needed by one department/office, it may benefit the County to re -assign or
sell (see 7.7) the vehicle to another department/office until it reaches the end of its useful life.
When it is no longer cost effective to retain a vehicle in the fleet, it should be disposed of
regardless of mileage or age.
Once a final decision is made to remove a vehicle from the fleet, the method of disposal must be
identified, the timing of disposition determined, and decommissioning procedures completed.
The County Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director will work with the County Commissioners
to declare vehicles surplus and then determine the best method and location of sale which meets
legal guidelines and provides the best potential return to the County. Most county vehicles and
equipment realize the greatest return when sold at an online public surplus auction. Occasionally
vehicles are sold to other public entities or traded as part of the competitively bid purchasing
process. The appropriate County representative will sign vehicle titles releasing the County's
interest.
EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND REVOLVING FUND #26-02
EFFECTIVE 01-01-2026 PAGE:6
Once the Commissioners declare vehicles surplus the Fleet Manager (or Designee) will
coordinate directly with Departments to have vehicles delivered to the main fleet shop for
decommissioning and transport to auction or other sale location. The Fleet Manager (or
Designee) will make every effort to ensure required replacement vehicles arrive in concert with
disposition of excess vehicles to minimize operational impacts to Departments/Offices.
Effective January Ist, 2025, all revenues resulting from the surplus sale of vehicles / equipment
return to the ER&R fund and are designated for replacement use by the Department that rented
that equipment. In addition, revenues resulting from the surplus sale of vehicles / equipment
that are not used for replacement, are designated for the future replacement use by the
Department that rented that equipment.
7.3 INVENTORY
If a vehicle or piece of equipment is no longer needed by the Department/Office that uses it, the
ER&R fund will treat it as surplus. A vehicle or piece of equipment may be removed from
service by the County Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director due to condition, dependability,
or a repair cost that exceeds the value of the vehicle. Such a determination will be decided only
by the County Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director.
7.4 ADDITIONS TO FLEET REQUESTS
The requesting Department will be required to fund new or additional vehicle or equipment
purchases (excluding replacement of existing vehicles or equipment already managed by
ER&R). Requests must be made on the appropriate "letter of request" which will be provided by
the Fleet Manager (or Designee). The Fleet Manager (or Designee) will review the request and
work with the Department to help provide the information needed for budget approval.
The request by another department must be authorized as a capital expenditure in the other
department's final budget and signed by the appropriate Elected Official / Department Head
before it will be processed.
The Fleet Manager (or Designee) will evaluate the equipment request to determine if the
equipment is compatible with the ER&R program. If the Elected Official /Department Head is
not satisfied with the Fleet Manager (or Designee)'s decision, he/she may submit in writing
reasons for disagreement to the County Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director for review. If a
resolution is not achieved at this level, the issue will be referred to the Board of County
Commissioners for final resolution.
All ER&R light vehicles will be either red or white in color, unless otherwise approved by the
Director. Specialty Heavy vehicles (such as dump trucks) shall be colored at the discretion of
the Fleet Manager (or Designee). A Department may request in writing a vehicle color for their
Department. The County Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director will review the request and
determine whether it is reasonable or not. Decisions by the County Engineer/Deputy Public
Works Director are final. All vehicles will include the following standard accessories: fire
extinguisher, and factory/dealership installed accessories ordered with vehicle or equipment.
All specialty equipment/upfit materials must be approved in advance by the Fleet Manager (or
Designee).
EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND REVOLVING FUND #26-02
EFFECTIVE 01-01-2026 PAGE:7
Approved specialty equipment/upfit materials for new or additional vehicles and equipment
must be paid for separately by the requesting Department.
All heavy maintenance equipment shall come in the manufacture's standard color. If no color is
specified, heavy maintenance equipment shall be construction yellow or fleet white in color.
7.5 CREDITS AND REFUNDS
Credits and refunds resulting from sale or surplus of a vehicle/equipment or overages will be
applied to the Department that rented that equipment account, effective January I St, 2025.
7.6 VEHICLE DAMAGE
The costs for vehicle / equipment damage shall be applied to the Department that rented the
equipment account, effective January I St, 2025.
7.7 ADDING EXISTING VEHICLES TO FLEET (Not Previously ER&R Managed)
Used vehicles must be evaluated by the Fleet Manager (or Designee) to determine operational
and mechanical condition and to check for safety concerns. The Fleet Manager (or Designee)
will make a recommendation to accept or refuse the vehicle into the ER&R program based on
the condition of the vehicle or equipment, it's estimated remaining life, and any expenses that
will be necessary to bring the vehicle up to standards.
Replacement rates for used vehicles added to ER&R will be based on the projected replacement
cost of a new vehicle, the vehicle's age, and the vehicle's anticipated life span. If a vehicle or
piece of equipment has not accrued sufficient replacement funds at, the time of replacement, the
requesting Department must pay the balance of the replacement costs or consider a delay in the
vehicle replacement schedule.
7.8 VEHICLE TRANSFERS WITHIN THE ER&R PROGRAM
A vehicle that is no longer needed by one Department may benefit another. The Fleet Manager
(or Designee) may evaluate the possibility of re -assigning and/or re-pur-posing a vehicle which a
Department decides is no longer needed. ER&R owns all vehicles within the fleet, so the County
Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director may, at their discretion, re -assign any vehicle within
ER&R or to another department. The receiving Department/Office will reimburse the ER&R
Fund the current value of the transferred vehicle. The receiving department/Office will assume
the rental obligation and possibly any upfit costs of the transferred vehicle. The transfer of the
vehicle must be approved by the County Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director.
7.9 REPLACEMENT OF VEHICLES/EQUIPMENT
The Fleet Manager (or Designee) is responsible for determining when a vehicle or piece of
equipment qualifies for replacement. It is the County's desire to keep rental rates as low as
possible. Thus, when purchasing vehicles and equipment, the Fleet Manager (or Designee) will
place emphasis on purchase price, fuel efficiency, appropriate class size, make, and model.
EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND REVOLVING FUND #26-02
EFFECTIVE 01-01-2026 PAGE:8
The Fleet Manager (or Designee) will coordinate with Departments to decide when the
equipment should be replaced. If the Elected Official /Department Head is not satisfied with the
Fleet Manager (or Designee)'s decision, he/she may submit in writing reasons for disagreement
to the County Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director for review. If a resolution is not achieved
at this level, the issue will be referred to the Board of County Commissioners for final
resolution. Target replacement considerations are as follows:

Shared equipment will be evaluated on a case -by -case basis.
Outliers will be evaluated on a case -by -case basis. (Severe service or Lemons)
Replacement vehicles and equipment, including upfit materials are to be of a similar size and
value as the original vehicle or equipment.
If the requested vehicle, equipment, or upfit materials are an appreciable upgrade, a cost overrun
contribution will be required from the requesting Department/Office and approval from the
Elected Official/Department Head and the County Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director.
If the original vehicle or equipment is traded -in, surplus, or otherwise disposed of before fully
depreciated, the requesting Department/Office may be required to pay the outstanding balance
before purchasing the replacement vehicle or equipment.
A statement of transaction will be provided to the owning Department/Office when the account
is settled.
8.0 SETTING RENTAL RATES
The basis for the establishment of equipment rental rates is found in RCW 36.33A.040, which
states, "Rates for the rental of equipment owned by the fund shall be set to cover all costs of
maintenance and repair, material and supplies consumed in operating or maintaining the
equipment, and the future replacement thereof. The rates shall be determined by the County
Engineer or other appointee of the County Legislative Body and shall be subject to annual
review by the Legislative Body". Fuel consumed by Non-ER&R Departments and all ER&R
Departments will be paid for and accounted separately by that Department.
EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND REVOLVING FUND #26-02
EFFECTIVE 01-01-2026 PAGE:9
The County Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director will develop and recommend rates for all
vehicles and equipment annually. Rates shall reflect all applicable annual expenses, including
inflation, labor and parts for repairs and service, insurance, indirect costs, and overhead. Rental
rates for all vehicles are calculated per class of vehicle (such as pickups, graders, heavy trucks).
Finances for vehicles and equipment will be tracked individually for operation, maintenance, and
replacement. Vehicles and equipment will be grouped with like units when possible. Rental rates
for grouped vehicles will be averaged per mile/hour. Departments will be billed a monthly flat
rate. Grouped vehicles may be considered for a monthly rate that pays for usage by the mile, day,
or month.
The County Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director will make adjustment within any year to
reflect rapidly changing cost factors. If deemed appropriate, the County Engineer/Deputy Public
Works Director will present interim adjustments to the Board of County Commissioners for
review. The Board approves rental rates at the beginning of each year. Certain factors including
but not limited to increased expenses or changes in usage patterns may warrant an adjustment of
rental rates.
8.1 FACTORS USED TO DETERMINE RENTAL RATES
Cost of Operation
• Service Items — tires, brakes, fluids, etc
• Repairs and repair parts
• Service and repair labor
Cost of Replacement
• Actual replacement cost
• Additional added equipment
• Inflation component
Cost of Overhead
• Accounting
• Tracking and scheduling
• Warranty administration
• New vehicle specifications and bidding
• Insurance
• Facility overhead
• Crash and accident history
8.2 TERMS USED IN DETERMINATION OF RENTAL RATES
Operational Cost is based on a five-year average of the yearly total expense for the
vehicle/equipment or group of vehicles. For new vehicles, three years are added to project the
operational cost average. The base rate and average miles/hours using three years of historical
data from similar equipment. The average operational cost is used to formulate the monthly
operations and maintenance portion of the rental rate.
Usage is based on a five-year or three-year average of the mileage or hours that have been
carried on the vehicle or equipment.
EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND REVOLVING FUND #26-02
EFFECTIVE 01-01-2026 PAGE:10
Yearly Replacement Cost is based on the projected replacement cost less salvage value, divided
by the life cycle of the vehicle. The replacement cost is used to formulate the monthly
replacement portion of the rental rate. Formula: (Projected Replacement — Salvage Value)
Projected Life Cycle —Yearly Replacement Cost.
Revenue is the total amount collected based on the formulated rental rate. Department/Office.
Most issued vehicles pay a flat monthly rate per vehicle. Some Public Works vehicles pay
usage by the hour and are billed monthly. Some Loaned and Motor Pool vehicles pay for usage
by the mile and are billed accordingly.
Revenue collected is first applied to the actual total expense of the vehicle or vehicle group.
All excess funds are to be designated for replacement use by the Department that rented that
vehicle / equipment. This ensures that any unforeseen or large maintenance expenses are
covered before applying the additional revenue toward replacement.
Adjusted Rate is the adjustment to the base monthly rate to compensate for under or over
collection of funds throughout the life of the vehicle or equipment. The Fleet Manager will
at a minimum every year, and will recommend
review rates, adjustments as needed.
Life Cycle Date is the set point for the life cycle to begin (date when the vehicle or equipment
was put into the ER&R program).
Life Cycle is the number of years estimated to be the useful life of the vehicle or equipment
(period in which replacement funds are collected).
Projected Replacement Cost is the expected cost to replace a vehicle or equipment at the end
of its life cycle (historical market trends for a particular vehicle or piece of equipment are used
to create an estimate).
Salvage Value is a projection of what a vehicle or piece of equipment's value will be at the end
of its life cycle. Salvage value for vehicles is estimated based on either current market value of
the particular vehicle or by using "straight line depreciation" with replacement cost. Salvage
value for heavy equipment is estimated based on current market value or historical market
trends.
