REQUEST: Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a multi-year lease agreement for six (6) 75 cubic yard refuse trailers 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 replace six (6) 1996 Brothers 75 Cubic Yard Refuse trailers. These 1996 trailers are reaching the end of their useful lives and are incurring costly mechanical and structural repairs. These trailers are used daily, hauling refuse from the transfer stations to either East or West HawaiTs landfill. Daily use of the trailer's blade and hydraulic pistons to compact the refuse have caused them to become worn. Refuse trailers must be maintained in operable condition to manage the solid waste, to maintain compliance with State and Federal regulations governing solid waste management and to be in compliance with safe highway operations as mandated by law. This equipment will be lease financed such that the County will own the equipment at the end of the five year lease. SIGNED: DATE: S 20' De rtment Head
