    5         Section 2. Fleet Operations Management Pilot Program.
    6         (1)There is created within the Department of Management
    7  Services the Fleet Operations Management Pilot Program. The
    8  purpose of the pilot program is to assess the potential for cost
    9  savings through a contract with a vendor or contractor for
   10  privatizing the management and operation of state-owned motor
   11  vehicles, motor vehicle acquisitions and disposition,
   12  maintenance facilities, and fuel operations. The pilot program
   13  may not include any vehicle designated for law enforcement
   14  purposes unless requested by the agency.
   15         (2)The Department of Management Services shall administer
   16  the Fleet Operations Management Pilot Program. The Department of
   17  Management Services shall competitively procure and contract
   18  with a vendor or contractor for privatizing state-owned motor
   19  vehicles, motor vehicle acquisitions and disposition,
   20  maintenance facilities, and fuel operations for selected state
   21  entities. Any contract with a vendor or contractor for the pilot
   22  program must be competitively bid every 5 years. Any data that
   23  relates to the contract must be stored in at least one common
   24  format approved by the Department of Management Services, and
   25  such data remains the property of the Department of Management
   26  Services. Any vehicle-monitoring hardware installed in a state
   27  owned motor vehicle must be commercially available and may not
   28  be proprietary to the vendor or contractor.
   29         (3)For each state entity selected by the Department of
   30  Management Services for inclusion in the pilot program, the
   31  Department of Management Services shall establish an average
   32  baseline of costs associated with state-owned motor vehicles,
   33  motor vehicle acquisitions and disposition, maintenance
   34  facilities, and fuel operations using the previous 3 fiscal
   35  years for the state entity.
   36         (4)By October 1, 2023, the Department of Management
   37  Services and 3 state entities selected by the Department of
   38  Management Services, which shall have a combined total vehicle
   39  fleet size of at least 5,000 vehicles, shall use the
   40  competitively procured contract selected by the Department of
   41  Management Services for privatizing the management and operation
   42  of state-owned motor vehicles, motor vehicle acquisitions and
   43  disposition, maintenance facilities, and fuel operations. Each
   44  state entity selected shall provide any information requested by
   45  the Department of Management Services necessary for privatizing
   46  the management of existing state-owned motor vehicles, motor
   47  vehicle acquisitions and disposition, maintenance facilities,
   48  fuel operations, and any full-time equivalent and other
   49  personal-services positions assigned to operate and maintain
   50  each state-owned maintenance facility and fuel operation.
   51         (5)By October 1, 2024, the Department of Management
   52  Services shall select 10 additional state entities who shall use
   53  the competitively procured contract selected by the Department
   54  of Management Services for privatizing the management and
   55  operation of state-owned motor vehicles, motor vehicle
   56  acquisitions and disposition, maintenance facilities, and fuel
   57  operations. Each state entity selected shall provide any
   58  information requested by the Department of Management Services
   59  necessary for privatizing the management of existing state-owned
   60  motor vehicles, motor vehicle acquisitions and disposition,
   61  maintenance facilities, fuel operations, and any full-time
   62  equivalent and other-personal-services positions assigned to
   63  operate and maintain each state-owned maintenance facility and
   64  fuel operation.
   65         (6)By October 1, 2025, the Department of Management
   66  Services shall direct all state entities to use the
   67  competitively procured contract selected by the Department of
   68  Management Services for privatizing the management and operation
   69  of state-owned motor vehicles, motor vehicle acquisitions and
   70  disposition, maintenance facilities, and fuel operations. Each
   71  state entity shall provide any information requested by the
   72  Department of Management Services necessary for privatizing the
   73  management of existing state-owned motor vehicles, motor vehicle
   74  acquisitions and disposition, maintenance facilities, fuel
   75  operations, and any full-time equivalent and other-personal
   76  services positions assigned to operate and maintain each state
   77  owned maintenance facility and fuel operation.
   78         (7)Annually beginning September 1, 2024, the Department of
   79  Management Services shall compile a report detailing the impact
   80  to full-time equivalent and other-personal-services positions
   81  and cost savings, if any, and submit such report, along with a
   82  list of its findings and recommendations regarding the pilot
   83  program, to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the
   84  Speaker of the House of Representatives.
   85         (8)If the Department of Management Services is unable to
   86  document at least $5 million in cost savings under the pilot
   87  program to the state by July 1, 2025, the pilot program and any
   88  vendor or contractor contracts may be terminated. The Department
   89  of Management Services may also terminate the pilot program and
   90  any vendor or contractor contracts earlier if its findings or
   91  earlier economic models indicate the pilot program will not
   92  result in significant cost savings to the state by July 1, 2025.
   93  The Department of Management Services may also accelerate the
   94  implementation of the pilot program by 1 fiscal year for each
   95  implementation stage if cost savings justify an accelerated
   96  implementation.
