Maintenance Facility Fuel Island & Heavy Duty Lift Replacement (2024)

In accordance with the intergovernmental agreement between the District and City of Elmhurst, which governs the shared use of the Maintenance Facility, the District makes use of various spaces and amenities within the City's facility, including offices, workspace, a lunchroom, garage space, and fuel pumps. The City is responsible for maintenance and scheduling of necessary upgrades with the District contributing 25% of the project costs. 

The City's 2024 Capital Improvement Plan includes replacing the fuel island ($198,750) and a heavyduty automotive lift ($76,188) (cost amounts represent the District's 25% share of project costs). Removing and replacing the fuel island is essential for the continued fueling and maintenance operations of District vehicles. The heavy-duty lift must also be replaced to ensure the safe and efficient maintenance of heavy-duty vehicles. These projects are crucial for the ongoing use and maintenance of the shared facility, and the District's financial contribution is a vital part of ensuring successful completion of these projects. Staff recommend funding this project with General Fund reserves ($294,650).
