REQUEST: I <br /> Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a multi-year lease agreement for four(4) 48' Compacting <br /> RefuseTrailers for a period of five (5) years for the Department of Environmental Management, Solid Waste <br /> Division. i <br /> 3 <br /> 3 <br /> I <br /> 6I! <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> The Solid Waste Division is requesting to lease finance four(4) 48' Compacting Refuse Trailers to be used to <br /> transport refuse from East Hawaii transfer stations to the East Hawaii Regional Sort Station (EHRSS). <br /> These trailers are needed to replace four trailers that are reaching the end of their useful life. Solid Waste is <br /> using aged trailers to haul refuse to the East Hawaii Regional Sort Station and the West Hawaii Sanitary <br /> Landfill. Constant repairs to trailers negatively impact services island wide with services often being <br /> restricted, temporarily suspended or redirected. <br /> Issues with equipment repairs affect the availability of trailers for daily disposal at any transfer station and <br /> require operations to reduce the number of trailers available at sites with more than one chute. This is not an <br /> ideal situation for either the customer or for the Division as it creates longer lines for customers to dispose of <br /> their debris and refuse trailers will get filled quicker. <br /> Purchase price is estimated at $225,000.00 each, or$990,000.00 for four(4) 48' Compacting Refuse <br /> Trailers. The estimated lease payment is $17,500 per month for the four (4) Compacting Refuse Trailers. I <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 <br /> financed such that the County will own the equipment at the end of the five year lease. <br /> 3 <br /> We respectfully request that this resolution be waived from the Council's Finance Committee and be placed I <br /> on the February 23, 2022 Council agenda in order to expedite the procurement of this equipment. <br /> SIGNED:, � - Z DATE: -- E � <br /> Dep ment Head �� <br />
