Re: Resolution for a multi -year lease
Enclosed is a resolution authorizing the payment of funds for more than one fiscal year
for twenty (20) laptop computers that will be utilized by the Hawaii Fire Department's
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel. The laptop computers will be used to
provide the ability to document patient care, send critical information to hospitals, and
for collecting billing information from the incident site or other locations as needed. The
anticipated annual cost of the lease is approximately $28,373, which is fully
reimbursable by the State of Hawaii, under the EMS contract the County of Hawaii has
with them.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Hawaii Fire Department.

A. REQUEST:
Please prepare a resolution authorizing the payment of funds - in a later fiscal year and for more than one
fiscal year - for a multi -year lease of twenty (20) laptop computers for the Fire Department. The lease would
specifically be for a three (3) year lease term for computers for the Department's Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) personnel.
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):

computers are used for a variety of purposes: such as providing the ability to document patient care, send
critical information to hospitals and for collecting billing information - from the incident site or other locations
as needed. The Fire Department presently has 15 specialized laptops dedicated for EMS work, but these
were purchased 4 years ago, and are at the end of the expected operating life for this type of computer. This
purchase is reimbursable by the State of Hawai'i as part of the EMS contract. Anticipated costs are
$28,372.40 per year.
