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 2,000 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 $9,500 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: 10/5/2015
STAFF CONTACT: GLEN HONDA/MELANIO LORENZO PHONE: 932-2907 / 932-2901
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 2,000-gallon fire apparatus. The
lease would be for a term of five years. The fire apparatus (a tanker truck) will be assigned to the North
Kohala. The estimated lease cost is $9,500 per month for a sixty (60) month term for the multi-year lease
to purchase for a total of$570,000.
Payments will commence after delivery of the apparatus.
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
The apparatus will be assigned to the North Kohala Fire Station to provide additional response
capabilities to residential areas where water is limited or not accessible. This apparatus will provide an
additional 2,000 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 firefighting effectiveness thereby reducing fire loss to the community.
The estimated FY 2015-2016 payments are currently budgeted in our FY 2015-2016 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.
