Re: Resolution for multi-year lease
Enclosed is a resolution authorizing the payment of funds for more than one fiscal year for a new
multi-year lease agreement for one fire apparatus (tanker truck) for the Hawai`i Fire Department.
This apparatus will provide an additional 3,000 gallons of water for immediate firefighting
response. The Hawai`i Fire Department's water tanker fleet have capacities of 1,000 gallons or
less, forcing the Department to depend on the Department of Public Works and privately owned
water tankers to provide additional water delivery resources.
According to the Hawai`i Fire Department, providing additional tankers of greater capacity is
cost effective and will reduce operating costs while increasing firefighting effectiveness. The
anticipated lease cost is approximately $8,000 per month.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call Melanio Lorenzo of the Hawai`i Fire
Department at 932-2921.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
DEPARTMENT: FIRE DEPARTMENT DATE: 8/5/2014
STAFF CONTACT: GLEN HONDA / MELANIO LORENZO PHONE: 932-2907 / 932-2921
A. REQUEST:
The Hawai'i Fire Department is requesting a resolution authorizing the payment of funds in a later year and
for more than one fiscal year for a multi-year lease to purchase one (1) 3,000-gallon fire apparatus. The
lease would be for a term of five (5) years. The fire apparatus (a tanker truck) will be assigned to the Central
Station. The estimated lease cost is $8,000 per month for a sixty (60) month term for the multi-year lease,
Payments will commence after delivery of the apparatus.
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
The apparatus will be assigned to the Central Fire Station to provide additional response capabilities to
residential areas where water is limited or not accessible. This apparatus will provide an additional 3,000
gallons of water for immediate firefighting response. The Department's water tanker fleet have a capacity of
1,000 gallons or less and the Department currently depends on the Department of Public Works and
privately owned water tankers to provide additional water delivery resources. Having additional water
tankers in our fleet is cost effective as it will reduce operating costs and will also increase our fire fighting
effectives thereby reducing fire loss to the community.
The estimated FY 2014-2015 payments are currently budgeted in our FY 2014-2015 operating budget.
Lease payments for subsequent years will be budgeted accordingly. Being that current fiscal year payments
have been budgeted, the Department is requesting that the Finance Committee hearing be waived.
