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 (4x4 tanker truck) for the
Hawaii Fire Department. This apparatus will provide an additional 1,250 gallons of
water for immediate firefighting response at the Waimea Fire Station. The Hawaii Fire
Department's water tanker fleet in the Waimea area 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 Hawaii Fire Department, providing additional tankers 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 Hawaii
Fire Department at 932-2921.

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 1,250-gallon fire apparatus. The
lease would be for a term of five years. The fire apparatus (a 4x4 tanker truck) will be assigned to the
Waimea Station. The estimated lease cost is $8,000 per month for a sixty (60) month term for the multi-
year lease to purchase for a total of$480,000.
Payments will commence after delivery and acceptance of the apparatus.
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
The apparatus will be assigned to the Waimea Fire Station to provide additional response capabilities to
areas where water resources are limited or not accessible. This apparatus will provide an additional
1,250 gallons of water for immediate firefighting response. The 4x4 tanker will increase firefighting
access to wildland terrain. 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 2016-2017 payments are currently budgeted in our FY 2016-2017 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.
