BACKGROUND:
A lease agreement for the PACE property at 9 Osgood Street was approved at the August 5, 2025 City Council meeting. Various improvements to the property are required to ensure the space is safe and functional for the use of Fleet Services and other City departments.

The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
Five (5) vendors / contractors visited the site and provided quotes. There are three (3) different sizes and configurations of lifts required. Pricing was requested for each configuration.
