Form #: B-52 7/18/91 DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DEPARTMENT: Environmental Management-Solid Waste DATE: 02/10/17 STAFF CONTACT: Greg Goodale PHONE: 808-961-8515 A. REQUEST: Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a multi-year lease agreement for two (2) Boom Trucks with Hydraulic Arms and Grapples for a period of five (5) years 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 two (2) Boom Trucks with hydraulic arms and grapples to assist the division in staying compliant with the Department of Health regulations. Additional boom trucks with hydraulic arms and grapples are needed to manage the increasing number of bulky items being dropped off at the transfer stations. These trucks are used to pick up greenwaste, white goods, and other bulky items that are being diverted from the landfill. Use of these trucks helps to minimize the manual handling of these items which improves efficiency and reduces the risk of injury to our employees. These additional trucks are needed to ensure that the items are removed in a timely manner and that we are compliant with DOH regulations. Purchase price is estimated at $450,000 for two boom trucks with the hydraulic arms and grapples. The estimated lease payment is $8,000 per month for the two trucks. Funding for the lease is included in the Fiscal Year 2016-17 budget. This equipment will be lease financed such that the County will own the equipment at the end of the five year lease. We respectfully request that this resolution be waived from the Council's Finance Committee and be placed on the March 8th, 2017 Council agenda in order to expedite the procurement of this equipment.
