One of the primary functions of the Building <br />Maintenance team is to ensure and maintain safe and operational public facilities. <br />The Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) was built in 1983 and is a <br />regional transportation hub that brings together Amtrak, Metrolink, Orange County <br />Transportation Authority, and interstate bus services. In addition, when completed, the <br />OC Streetcar will have a dedicated platform stop at SARTC. The facility is open to the <br />public seven days a week from 5:00 a.m. to midnight, and contains approximately <br />35,000 square feet of rental space, including ten bus bays, one surface parking lot and <br />a parking structure. As such, the aging facility requires routine building repairs and <br />improvements. <br />The SARTC has one main elevator located in the main lobby that serves its tenants and <br />visitors. It is the only Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant mode of vertical <br />transportation within the building. The elevator is currently disabled due to a failed <br />underground hydraulic cylinder. To maintain facility accessibility, staff contacted the <br />City’s contracted elevator maintenance and repair vendor, Amtech Elevator Services. <br />Amtech Elevator Services was selected to make the urgent repair based on their <br />recognized leadership in elevator maintenance and their history in servicing City Hall,
