REQUEST: <br /> <br /> Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a multi-year lease agreement for <br /> three (3) Open Top Refuse Trailers for a period of five (5) years for the <br /> Department of Environmental Management Solid Waste Division. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> <br /> Current County 75 cubic yard Refuse Trailers are suited to be placed at <br /> CountyTransfer Stations, where the waste inside the trailer needs to be <br /> compacted, to insure that the trailer load is approximately 12 tons prior to <br /> bringing the trailers to County landfills to minimize the operating costs of Solid <br /> Waste Operations. There are several County transfer stations which can <br /> accomodate a refuse trailer, where waste can be deposited along the length of <br /> the trailer without any waste compaction. New Open Top RefuseTrailer with 102 <br /> cubic yard capacity can carry a heavier load of approximately 20 tons. This <br /> would result in a lower frequency of refuse trailers being brought to the landfills to <br /> deposit their waste, thereby saving on fuel and maintenance costs, and reduce <br /> road congestion on public highways. <br /> The Solid Waste Fund does not have the resources to purchase the referenced <br /> equipment, and therefore requests the authority to enter into a lease program to <br /> finance the purchase over five (5) years. Funding for the lease is budgeted in FY <br /> 2007-2008. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> SIGNED: loQ~ DATE: l ZZ"07 <br /> ell Department Head <br />
