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 two fire apparatus (fire trucks) for the Hawai`i
Fire Department. These apparatus will replace the fire trucks currently assigned to the
Laupahoehoe and Kailua fire stations which are 21 and 17 years old, respectively.
According to the Hawai`i Fire Department, new, reliable fire apparatus will reduce repair
and maintenance costs as well as increase their firefighting effectiveness. The anticipated
lease cost is approximately $26,000 per month.
The Fire Department is requesting to waive this resolution from the Finance Committee
in order to be placed on the December 19, 2018 Council agenda. If there are any
questions, please do not hesitate to call Melanio Lorenzo of the Hawai`i Fire Department
at 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 two (2) fire apparatus. The lease would be
for a term of five (5) years. The fire apparatus (fire trucks) will be assigned to the Laupahoehoe Fire Station
and the Kailua Fire Station. The estimated lease cost is cost of$26,000 per month for a sixty (60) month
term for the multi-year lease to purchase for a total $1,560,000.
Payments will commence after delivery of the fire trucks.
The Department is requesting that the Finance Committee hearing be waived.
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
The current apparatus, Engine 17, assigned to the Laupahoehoe Fire Station is 21 years old and serves a
population over a large area.
The current apparatus---Engine 7---assigned to the Kailua Fire Station is 17 years old and serves a busy
area with a large population.
National Fire Protection Association Standards recommend replacement after 15 years of useful life.
The purchase of the new two apparatus will provide reliable front-line response vehicles. The new apparatus
will reduce repairs and maintenance costs. The Fire Department specifies fire apparatus that are
manufactured to the latest National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards and Department of
Transportation (DOT) Regulations, providing for the safety of our personnel and the driving public.
Having reliable fire apparatus 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 payments will be appropriately budgeted in the FY 19-20 operating budget when the two
apparatus are anticipated to be delivered after a nearly one year build time. Lease payments for subsequent
years will be budgeted accordingly.
