Fleet Turnover Clause Samples
The Fleet Turnover clause defines the process and requirements for replacing or updating vehicles within a company's fleet. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions under which older vehicles must be retired and replaced with newer models, specifying timelines, performance standards, or environmental criteria that must be met. Its core practical function is to ensure the fleet remains efficient, safe, and compliant with regulatory or contractual standards, thereby minimizing operational risks and maintenance costs.
Fleet Turnover. 6.9.5.1 SEPTA will work with the Contractor to develop a fleet turnover plan. Under this plan, the Contractor will receive any new vehicles (if applicable), as well-as vehicles currently in use by the existing Contractor. The plan will allow for supervised inspection of equipment that will permit the taking of photographs and video footage to document vehicle condition. The Contractor will also be permitted full access to the fleet maintenance records.
6.9.5.2 During the fleet turnover inspection, SEPTA shall inspect and photograph any and all vehicles used in SEPTA service. The results of the pre-service inspection shall be forwarded to the Contractor and shall be permanently attached to each vehicle file. During this inspection, SEPTA will certify whether the new Contractor for SEPTA service may use a vehicle. Only vehicles that have been approved by SEPTA may be used in the provision of SEPTA service.
6.9.5.3 If major deficiencies of any kind are discovered, they will be documented and will become the responsibility of the outgoing Contractor. SEPTA may require either the outgoing or the incoming Contractor to make repairs. If the incoming Contractor is directed to make repairs, said Contractor will be reimbursed for the cost of such repairs.
