Budget Request <br /> School: District Wide (' <br /> Department: Transportation -Bus Garage ?� ' <br /> Project Title: Purchase(3)floor lift systems for buses <br /> Total Cost: $ 85,500 ($28,500 each) <br /> Previous Request Y/N: Yes <br /> Notes: 2016-2017 requested(2) $57K;Budget Committee ranked 11 out of 15;not funded <br /> 2015-2016 requested(1) $27,500; Budget committee ranked 7 out of 11; not funded <br /> Project Description <br /> Purchase 3 additional floor lift systems for bus garage to improve safety and expedite repairs of buses for specific"under the <br /> bus" repairs. <br /> Background&Justification/Status <br /> CCS currently has seven floor lifts and one 'in floor' lift system for buses. There are a total of 14 garage bays assigned to <br /> mechanics for bus repairs. Mechanics are having to wait in line for one of the existing units to complete certain types of <br /> repairs on their assigned vehicles resulting in longer"parked"time for the bus. Adding an additional lift will increase <br /> efficiency. There are also safety and workers compensation issues to consider. Mechanics use a creeper to roll under the <br /> bus to do repairs as opposed to the lift system. This places them in a situation where they are in close proximity to dirt, <br /> particles and fluids falling on them. <br /> Budget Objectives Impact on Objective <br /> Comply with laws, policies and negotiated agreements. <br /> Yes <br /> Positive impact on safety, security,health, and sanitation. High Positive Impact <br /> Positive impact on student learning experience. <br /> Low Positive Impact <br /> Positive impact on the recruitment,morale,and retention of employees.

Moderate Positive Impact <br /> Positive impact on equity. <br /> No Positive Impact <br /> Positive impact on programs to attract and retain Cabarrus County families to CCS as well <br /> as businesses to Cabarrus County. Moderate Positive Impact <br /> Positive impact on community use and involvement. No Positive Impact <br /> Impact if Delayed or Not Funded <br /> If the lift systems are not purchased, mechanics will continue to wait for the existing systems to become available. This <br /> results in buses being out of service for longer than necessary periods. There will be an increased employee safety problem <br /> because the mechanics continue to use creepers to work under the bus. This could potentially increase workers <br /> compensation claims. <br /> AttAb6ent number 1 \n <br /> F-3 Page 61 <br />
