The Dakota County fleet consists of many equipment classifications, as far ranging as chainsaws, sedans, trucks, and construction equipment.

Outdated equipment is replaced in accordance with the Fleet CEP Points Replacement Criteria (Attachment: Points Replacement Criteria).

These recommended replacements meet the approved replacement criteria of 23 or higher under the Fleet CEP Points Replacement Criteria and, therefore, are recommended for replacement.
