BACKGROUND:
The Department of Public Works (Department) is responsible for managing contract maintenance and repair services for the elevator and escalator systems throughout the County building portfolio. There are currently 57 elevators and two escalators at various County facilities.
On March 27, 2018, this Board adopted Resolution 075810, which authorized an agreement with Thyssen Krupp for elevator maintenance services in the amount of $1,154,000.

Amendment No. 2 will increase the agreement by $150,000 increasing the not-to-exceed total amount to $1,304,000 to pay the remaining monthly service charges, as well as have additional funds for any potential emergency work.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution and agreement as to form.
