| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| We are requesting approval for the purchase of equipment and supplies to be utilized for the Automotive Training Curriculum at Erwin Technical Center, Bloomingdale High School, and East Bay High School. This program prepares students to become state-of-the-art automotive technicians who can analyze, repair, and maintain high-tech automobiles to manufacturers' specifications. It also includes areas of automotive within the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) Maintenance and Light Repair framework, and helps to prepare students for employment in numerous automotive positions after graduation or further education.
The heavy duty 4-post rack (lift), housed at Erwin Technical Center, is recommended by the advisory committee and by all qualifications is the "industry-standard" used by approximately 130 major dealerships and repair facilities in Hillsborough County. It should also be noted that Erwin Technical Center will be hosting the regional Skills USA contest, which consists of high school students from multiple counties participating in a skills contest requiring the use of this equipment.
