Res No 063-96-9817E' SOLUTION NO. 63-96-9817
WHEREAS, the 1994 construction of the motor pool maintenance shop did not
include the installation of a hydraulic vehicle lift;
WHEREAS, this situation necessitates the use of individual lift jacks to perform
the most routine of mechanical chores such as oil changes and tire replacements; and,
WHEREAS, the frequent use of these jacks severely compromises the safety and
efficiency of the operation and is unnecessarily taxing on the motor pool staff, and,
WHEREAS, the Department plans to initiate a formal preventive maintenance
program for the entire fleet, a practice which is common in municipal motor pool shops;
and,
WHEREAS, the preventive maintenance program will result in an increase in the
shop's workload, an increase which can be partially countered by the use of a vehicle lift.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA:
Section 1. The City Manager be, and is hereby authorized to disburse the surn
of $3,545.00 to Coastal Equipment for the purchase of a hydraulic vehicle lift.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 2nd day of April , 1996.

VEHICLE LIFT - MOTOR POOL
The attached resolution seeks approval of an expense of $3,545.00 for the purchase of a
hydraulic vehicle lift for the motor pool maintenance shop. Funding for this acquisition
is available in account number 1760-6430, "Equipment - Operating ". The safety and
efficiency of this operation are severely compromised without the availability of a vehicle
lift.
The recent construction of the maintenance shop did not provide for a hydraulic lift. This
equipment is a standard feature in most mechanical maintenance operations. Without. a
lift, mechanics are required to use individual floor i acks to raise vehicles for routine tasks
such as oil changes, brake work, and tire replacements. Although the use of floor j acks is
occasionally required in shops, resorting to this practice constantly not only hampers
productivity, but represents an unnecessary safety risk.
The motor pool maintenance shop will be implementing a formal preventive maintenance
program in the near future. This program is common in effective, well organized
maintenance operations, as it helps reduce costly repairs and increases equipment service
life.
Based on the above, the purchase and installation of a hydraulic vehicle lift is required. It
is therefore recommended that the purchase expense of $3,545.00 be approved by the
Mayor and City Commission.
