These vehicles need to be in safe, operable condition and compliant with state <br />and local emissions regulations. To ensure operating efficiency, employee productivity, and public safety, <br />vehicles that have reached the end of their economic and useful life need to be replaced in a timely manner. <br />Electric Field has been leasing vehicles for a number of years, and those listed in Table A are now at the <br />end of the original seven-year lease period. Those listed in Table B are vehicles that were originally <br />purchased by Electric Field and are in need of replacement. These vehicles are beginning to require costly <br />and more frequent maintenance and repairs, which can result in extended downtime for crews, negatively <br />affecting customers and delaying planned work programs. <br />Table A — Vehicles leased from 2013-2020 <br />VEHICLE <br />ASSET <br />NO. <br />LEASE <br />NO. <br />UPLIFTED <br />MODEL <br />LEASE <br />END <br />2013 Freightliner Bucket <br />E418 <br />19337 <br />A77 -T <br />May 1, 2020 <br />2013 Freightliner Digger Derrick <br />E422 <br />42623 <br />D3055B-TR <br />July 1, 2020 <br />2013 Freightliner Digger Derrick <br />E423 <br />42624 <br />D3055B-TR <br />July 1, 2020 <br />2013 Freightliner Digger Derrick <br />E426 <br />19381 <br />D3055B-TR <br />July 1, 2020 <br />
