Sample Business Proposals / Heavy Equipment Leasing Sample Proposal

Two-Year Lease of Heavy Equipment to Back2B4 Restoration Company for Elkhead Mine Remediation Project

Congratulations on winning the bid for the Elkhead Mine Remediation Project. We have studied your project description and recent request for heavy equipment leasing information, and we think you’ll be pleased with the contents of this proposal. We have the equipment you’ll need to accomplish the site remediation, and we are prepared to work out a very affordable lease arrangement with you. You’ll be pleased to know that all our leasing contracts include our award-winning equipment protection plan.

The prices quoted in this proposal are good for six months. We look forward to hearing from you soon. We look forward to partnering with Back2B4 Restoration to provide heavy equipment for this project to protect the environment and restore the natural beauty of our beloved Rocky Mountains.

Back2B4 Restoration has indicated that the Elkhead Mine Remediation Project should take approximately two years to complete. The project includes removal of contaminated mine tailings and transport of those to a site down the mountain where they will be buried. This type of activity requires excavators, loaders, and dump trucks. The remediation also calls for removal of all mine shaft entry portals, with entry tunnels to be filled as needed for safety.

This type of activity is likely to require an excavator with a grapple or specialized attachment, as well as a dozer and a loader. Finally, the project requires restoration of landforms to blend in with surrounding natural scenery. This will require dozers for the most part, but may also require usage of excavators to re-route water courses as needed. In accordance with our understanding of the requirements of the Elkhead Mine Remediation Project, we have developed this proposal, which recommends the leasing of an excavator, a dozer, a track loader, and at least two dump trucks.

Multiple attachments can be used on the excavator, dozer, and track loaders for maximum efficiency and economy. We look forward to partnering with Back2B4 Restoration to accomplish this project to protect the environment and restore the natural beauty of our beloved Rocky Mountains. Based on the project goals you provided to us, we believe that the mine remediation project will require at a minimum the following pieces of heavy equipment.

You may wish to lease more than one of each type.

Excavator

Based on the amounts of rock and earth you need to move, we recommend our 326F 26-ton hydraulic excavator, which can be used with either a standard boom or a super-long-reach boom, which can stretch up to 60 feet for use on your steep reclamation site. A wide range of buckets, grapples, and pulverizers can also be used with this flexible, efficient excavator.

Dozer

Our D9T Dozer would be perfect for your job. It provides maximum stability and maneuverability, and is a versatile workhorse, with eight possible blade configurations. Twelve lights allow for safe operation during hours of darkness.

Track loader

Our 972D Track Loader can handle up to 4.2 cubic yards, making quick work of loading dump trucks. It can be combined with several different buckets and also use a ripper to work in tandem with the excavator or dozer as needed. Built in electronic sensors adjust for load weight and positioning.

Dump truck

For efficiency, we recommend that you lease two to three dump trucks so that one can be loaded while others are en route to your dump site. Our largest trucks can haul up to 24 yards. The following attachments are recommended.

Attachments for the excavator We recommend the following attachments for the excavator. Hydraulic thumbs, contractors grapples, severe heavy duty buckets, and a hydraulic hammer. Attachments for the dozer Hi-capacity universal blades are a must for your project.

We also recommend a single shank ripper attachment for maximum versatility. Attachments for the track loader We recommend a multipurpose bucket in addition to a general purpose bucket. A multi-shank parallelogram ripper might also be useful, allowing the track loader to function like a dozer as needed and aid in loosening soil and rock for excavation. Accessory light packages for excavator and track loader The dozer comes with twelve lights attached.

The excavator and track loader are supplied with basic lights for driving. For safety and maximum efficiency, we recommend the accessory light packages to extend working hours for all pieces of equipment. We offer many additional specialty attachments in addition to the equipment listed above.

Total Monthly Lease Estimate with 2-year contract $9,100.00. Standard Disclaimer. The numbers represented above are to be used as an estimate for the projects discussed.

The above Quote does in no way constitute a warranty of final price. Estimates are subject to change if project specifications are changed or costs for outsourced services change before being locked in by a binding contract. We offer the following payment options for lease agreements. Monthly Payments Payments are due on the 5th of each month.

Credit card, Company Check, or Direct Deposit IronClad Equipment, Inc. accepts any of these types of payments. Checks returned due to insufficient funds will incur a $100 fee and may result in equipment repossession. All equipment rentals, leases, and purchases require a substantial down payment before delivery of equipment can be effected.

If a company does not use the same types of equipment for multiple projects over the course of many years, it’s usually in that company’s best interest to lease equipment instead of purchase it outright. Technology is changing rapidly and equipment can quickly become obsolete and therefore lose value for use and resale. When a machine is leased, obsolescence becomes an issue for the lessor, not for the company leasing the machine. Payments on a lease may be written off as an expense against taxes, and contractors can easily match project costs to the lease.

Sales tax is applied to each payment, not paid in one lump sum as it would be if equipment were purchased. You have estimated that the Elkhead Mine Remediation Project should take approximately two years. Therefore, we recommend a two-year leasing agreement for most pieces of equipment.

Your project engineers and our company experts will work out a schedule for each needed piece of equipment. As a general rule, the monthly lease payment for a machine leased for two years is approximately 1% of the purchase price of that machine. You have indicated that you are most interested in a lease arrangement.

Do keep in mind that for pieces of small equipment, it may be most economical to purchase those. For specialized short-term needs, a rental arrangement might be appropriate instead of a lease.
