Additional Backup Information:
This contract was executed as an emergency and is being brought back to council as a ratification. The Austin Public Library uses the hydraulic dock lift as a delivery dock intended for trucks for receiving and loading deliveries. The existing dock was leaking oil, creating a slip hazard and creating a safety issue for employees and contractors, and library staff were unable to repair the existing lift. The emergency contract replaced a delivery dock at the Zaragosa Warehouse addressing the safety and operational concerns.
