ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
The Canal Streetcars were built in-house at the Carrolton Facility in 2006. The designs and most of the parts for these cars are held by Brookville. Many of these parts are only available through Brookville due to proprietary part designs. The axles on the Canal streetcars are among the parts that have deteriorated. These axles need to be repaired by the agency because they are currently damaged and leaking.
end
DISCUSSION:
The Canal Streetcar fleet has had twelve axle failures due to leakage and excessive wear. These axles were designed by Brookville Corp, and all have damage that’s beyond the scope of repairs that can be completed in-house, causing the need for OEM repairs. The RTA was awarded funds through LA-2021-028 ALI 12.14.30 to make repairs to streetcars.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding is available through grant funding (LA-2021-028 ALI 12.14.30), total estimated cost of this equipment is $153,576.00.
NEXT STEPS:
When approved to proceed, the team will execute the purchase order for the needed axle repairs.
