i i Form : B-52 7/18/91 DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DEPARTMENT: Environmental Management DATE: 01/11/2023 STAFF CONTACT: Mike Kaha PHONE: 961-8270 A. REQUEST: Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a multi-year lease agreement for a period of five (5) years for four(4) Walking Floor Trailers for the Department of Environmental Management, Solid Waste Division. B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): The Solid Waste Division is requesting to lease finance four(4) Walking Floor Refuse Trailers to be used to collect and transport refuse. Division's operation require these trailers to meet the need of hauling refuse from multiple communities on island without interupting services. The Division intends to replace four(4) Walking Floor Trailers for its operators. Without this equipment, the Division's operations will be adversely affected as its ability to complete daily activities will be compromised by a build up of accumulated wastes. Equipment will not be available for the Division to operate effectively and maintenance of equipment will take longer because more time will be spent by service technicians to order and receive parts before mainenance can begin. Service limitations and reduction in services will happen if trailers are unavailable and closure of sites will be inevitability if remaining trailers need to bear the brunt of all municipal solid waste collection. Purchase price is estimated at $220,000 or$880,000 for four trailers. The estimated lease payment is $15,600 per month for the four trailers. Funding for the lease is included in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget although the delivery of these trailers is not expected until next fiscal year due to the long lead time for this equipment. This equipment will be lease financed such that the County will own the equipment at the end of the five year lease. SIGNED: Q DATE: \f _ DeVartment Head �T
