Replacement of the City Shop vehicle hoist
As discussed with you recently, the light vehicle hoist at the shop (installed
around 1980) has reached a point where we think it is a liability to keep. The
hoist has been a maintenance problem for several years, but due to budget
constraints and the potential for a new shop facility, we have postponed
replacement.
The original manufacturer went out of business about seven years ago. Until
roc~ntly, we were able to get repair parts from other sourcos for a higher
price, but the parts are harder to find now. Also, the hoist did not pass the
last inspection and is leaking hydraulic fluid. This also potentially is a safoty
issue. Rather than gamble that the hoist can again be repaired long enough
to get to a new budget period, we recommend replacement now.
The proposed new hoist can be purchased and installed for about $6000.
Our personnel will remove the old hoist and fill the hole with concrete. The
new hoist can also be relocated should a new facility be constructed in the
future. With your concurrence, we will ask Finance to prepare a resolution to
transfer funds.
