Item 4F AudioItem 4F. Approve elevator repairs in the East parking Garage Staff is asking that the City Council approve the replacement of the hydraulic lines for both elevators in the east parking garage at Town Square for a total cost of $57,546. The most -used elevator next to Harkins Theater in the east parking has failed due to a hydraulic leak under the concrete slab. The remedy is to replace the buried lines above the ground to prevent failure due to corrosion. Both elevators in the west garage has already been repaired due to the same failure. In addition to repairing the broken elevator, the City's elevator maintenance contractor has offered to replace the lines in the still functioning elevator at a significant savings while they are on site. The contractor is ready to mobilize immediately in order to complete the work prior to the holiday shopping season. The maintenance and repair of the public assets links to the city's strategy map relative to the focus areas of Infrastructure, and Performance Management and Service Delivery.
