REQUEST: <br /> 3 <br /> i <br /> Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a multi-year lease agreement for a period of five (5) years for <br /> four(4) Walking Floor Trailers for the Department of Environmental Management, Solid Waste Division, <br /> i <br /> j <br /> 3 <br /> 3 <br /> I <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> The Solid Waste Division is requesting to lease finance four(4) Walking Floor Refuse Trailers to be used to <br /> collect and transport refuse. Division's operation require these trailers to meet the need of hauling refuse <br /> from multiple communities on island without interupting services. <br /> The Division intends to replace four(4) Walking Floor Trailers for its operators. Without this equipment, the <br /> Division's operations will be adversely affected as its ability to complete daily activities will be compromised <br /> by a build up of accumulated wastes. Equipment will not be available for the Division to operate effectively <br /> and maintenance of equipment will take longer because more time will be spent by service technicians to <br /> order and receive parts before mainenance can begin. Service limitations and reduction in services will <br /> happen if trailers are unavailable and closure of sites will be inevitability if remaining trailers need to bear the <br /> brunt of all municipal solid waste collection. <br /> Purchase price is estimated at $208,000 or$832,000 for four trailers. The estimated lease payment is <br /> $14,700 per month for the four trailers. <br /> Funding for the lease is included in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 budget although the delivery of these trailers is <br /> not expected until next fiscal year due to the long lead time for this equipment. This equipment will be lease I <br /> financed such that the County will own the equipment at the end of the five year lease. <br /> We respectfully request that this resolution be waived from the Council's Finance Committee and be placed <br /> on the February 23, 2022 Council agenda in order to expedite the procurement of this equipment. <br /> t� <br /> SIGNED: G,_. � DATE: <br /> Debbrtment Head <br /> I <br /> 3 <br />
