Response to Invitation to Bid <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />Motor Coach Transportation <br />Invitation to Bid No. 21-03-02 <br /> <br />23 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Electronic Logs <br />As of June 1, 2017, all of Academy’s buses have <br />been equipped with the federally regulated <br />Electronic Logs (E-logs) which The U.S. <br />Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor <br />Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) required all <br />buses in an effort to improve roadway safety by <br />employing technology to strengthen commercial <br />truck and bus drivers’ compliance with hours-of- <br />service regulations that prevent fatigue. <br />Academy’s top priority is safety for our drivers and <br />passengers alike. We began to install the <br />equipment almost a year in advance of the federally mandated law to ensure that our staff was properly trained. <br />The Electronic Driver Logs is an automated system that records all information required to comply with hours <br />and service reports. It also assists drivers with Driver Vehicle Inspection Reporting (DVIR) for pre and post trip <br />inspections. This allows the reports to be filed automatically and back-office personnel are notified of issues that <br />may require repairs. The system Academy installed ISE Fleet Services also provides Dispatchers the visibility for <br />“real-time” driver availability. <br /> <br />The ISE benefits for the drivers: <br />• Hours of Service records are automatically captured eliminating any errors from <br />manual entries. <br />• Automated calculations keep drivers informed of driving availability, improving time management and <br />warning of impending violations. <br />• Integrated DVIR workflow ensures inspections are always performed at the appropriate time. <br />• HOS and DVIR documentation always available for roadside inspection. <br />In additional to all the benefits it provides for the drivers it also has many benefits for the fleet: <br />• Easily view, update and print drivers’ logs and DVIR reports. <br />• Real-time information assists in resource allocation and equipment defect resolution. <br />• CSA Fatigued Driver and Vehicle Maintenance BASIC scores are better maintained and improved. <br />• Automated back-office record retention reduces clerical time. <br />• Exceptionally easy to implement.
