General Services Department Outreach Events

The City of Fresno's General Services, Public Works and Public Utilities Departments partnered to celebrate National Public Works Week. On Tuesday, May 20th in front of City Hall, there was a street fair and equipment show, and City Departments and outside vendors were on hand providing information to City staff and the general public about the services they provide. The following day, all three departments again joined forces to celebrate staff and their contribution to maintaining the infrastructure and services collectively known as public works.

	Did You Know...Quick Facts



	26% of the General Services Department budget is pass-through costs (fuel, leases, utilities, special projects) In FY 2008 the Purchasing Division processed $195 million in procurements and added 20 multi-year requirements contracts. The Facilities Management Division was a key partner in the Kern Street/SPORTSTOWN project and continues to be involved with the Convention Center remodeling project. The Central Printing Division uses "state of the art" software to produce graphically designed flyers, posters, banners and inserts of any kind. By the end of FY 2009 120 of the 142 refuse trucks in the City's fleet will be powered using Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) which costs 1/3 less per gallon and burns at least 40% cleaner than its diesel equivalent.
