1 <br /> Form #: B-52 <br /> 7/18/91 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> DEPARTMENT: Environmental Management DATE: 09/12/17 <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Dora Beck PHONE: 961-8513 <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a multi-year lease agreement for five (5) years for a 600 KW <br /> emergency generator for the Department of Environmental Management Wastewater Division. <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> The Wastewater Division is requesting to lease finance a 600KW Emergency Generator. <br /> The 600 KW emergency generator will be used to power wastewater plants (Hilo, Papaikou, Kulaimano, <br /> Kealakehe) and the larger sewer pump stations (Pua, Wailoa, Kealakehe) in the event of a power failure. <br /> Due to the higher electricity demand of these larger facilities the use of the 600KW generator is required for <br /> these facilities. Two 200KW Generators will cover all other facilities. <br /> Most facilities have a standby generator on site however these generators are getting old and are requiring <br /> more maintenance. If a power outage occurs and an emergency/standby generator is unavailable, it is very <br /> likely that a sewer spill to ground or state waters will occur. <br /> The purchase price is estimated at $360,000.The estimated monthly lease payment is $6,500.00. This <br /> equipment will be lease financed such that the County will own the equipment at the end of the five year <br /> lease. <br /> Funding for this equipment is budgeted in the FY17-18 budget, but delivery of this is not expected until next <br /> fiscal year due to the long lead time for this equipment. <br /> SIGNED: DATE: ///44,,,,,;77 <br /> r Department Head <br />
