Council approves fire-rated frames and doors for library elevator after change order

Sep 29, 2026

Contractor required metal fire-rated door frames for the library elevator shaft; council approved the additional cost (read as $3,633 plus referenced additional $1,260) and directed staff to proceed with the work to restore elevator function.

The full story

Council addressed a contractor change order for the library lift: because the elevator shaft is a fire-rated enclosure, previously approved wooden door frames no longer meet code and must be replaced with metal fire-rated frames and doors. Chair (S2) read that the fire-rated frames are $3,633 and a council member noted an additional $1,260 in costs; a motion to proceed passed by voice vote.
