Additionally, contractors were required to supply four Award Purchase Order for Escalator Step Replacement at the Anaheim Convention Center May 7, 2024
additional OEM steps for attic stock and provide a minimum one-year warranty covering both workmanship and materials.
The Convention Center’s escalators are among the first things visitors notice when attending events like the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), Natural Products Expo West, and WonderCon. By replacing the steps on the heavily used escalators connecting the main lobby to the second floor, we can improve both their operational efficiency and overall appearance.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
Sufficient funds are available in the Convention Centers FY 2023/24 budget.
