STAFF ANALYSIS:
Palm Springs International Airport has two outdoor escalators that provide for the safe
and efficient movement of passengers up to and down from the Bono Concourse. Both
of the escalators are original equipment installed during the construction of the facility in
the late 1999. The up escalator to the Bono Concourse ceased running due to damage
of steps from failed rider bearings. Due to the long lead time for the special order of
these replacement parts, and the approaching busy travel season, it was critical that the
part order and repair process commence as expeditiously as possible.
FISCAL IMPACT:
ITEM N0. 2re
