Project DetailsDescription
Funding for this project will provide for an ongoing capital maintenance program that consists of tasks necessary to keep buses in service through systematic inspection, detection, and prevention of incipient failure. CTA’s scheduled maintenance program consists of planned preventive maintenance work to maintain bus performance. While major overhaul work is performed on a mid-life cycle basis, additional focused maintenance work is required at certain intervals, outside of the mid-life overhaul, during the life of buses. When certain maintenance tasks are needed to repair or replace, before it reaches its end of useful life and failing with an increased frequency, specific component campaign work is conducted.

Project DetailsDescription
Pace is in need of a stand-alone storage solution and will construct a shed to store and secure up to 10tons of bulk rock salt that is used during the winter season. The construction of the shed will be within thefootprint of Pace's parcel. This shed will allow for accessible use with Pace's skidsteer to load rock saltonto the pickup trucks and distribute it on approximately more than 15,000 square yards of grounds(parking lots and driveways), in addition to sidewalks, in a safe and more efficient manner. CurrentlyPace purchases 50-pound bags of salt that have to be loaded manually which has become very unsafein term of personal injury risk and is very time consuming as it has to be loaded multiple times per day.
