The Board of Airport Commissioners on Monday put out a call for bids from companies interested in replacing and repairing 172 outdated elevators, escalators and moving walkways at Los Angeles International Airport.
The move marks the final phase in the airport's overall effort to replace 285 outdated and broken elevators, escalators and moving walkways at LAX by 2012. The equipment, installed 27 years ago, was supposed to have a 25-year life span.
