In carrying out this responsibility, staff routinely assess the condition of systems <br />vital to daily operations and identify those needing repair or replacement. <br />On or around March 19, 2024, PWS staff identified the need for emergency replacement of the lobby <br />entry doors at the Police Department. Staff assessed that the mechanical and electronic components that <br />control the entryway to the facility had failed, causing the doors to operate improperly by opening and <br />closing erratically when activated. The doors also would not open or close consistently when triggered by <br />ADA sensors, hindering ADA accessibility for visitors and staff. Staff’s attempts to repair the doors using <br />City forces were unsuccessful due to the age of the infrastructure and the limited availability of compatible <br />door components and parts. <br />6.F. - Page 1 of 4 <br />175
