Board approves supplemental agreement with Gordian for automatic door openers to meet ADA accessibility
Summary
Commissioners authorized a $15,904.62 supplemental agreement with Gordian to add automatic door openers to annex renovations; funding will come from county reserves.
Charlton County voted unanimously to authorize Acting County Administrator Rebecca Harden to execute Phase 1 Supplemental #2 with Gordian for $15,904.62 to install automatic door openers as part of annex building renovations.
Harden said the automatic openers are an added scope of work to ongoing renovations and are intended to make the annex ADA compliant and allow wheelchair users to open the new doors without difficulty. The board agreed funding for the door openers will come from county reserves allocated to the renovation project.
Why it matters: the supplemental agreement adds accessibility improvements to a public building and carries a near-term budget impact; county reserves will be used to fund the work.
Details: Chairwoman Alphya Benefield asked whether the new door arms would also address door rattling at the front entrance; she requested Harden follow up on that operational question. No vote counts beyond unanimous approval were recorded; the board did not set a construction schedule for the supplemental work during the meeting.
The motion to authorize execution of the supplemental agreement was moved by Commissioner Jesse Crews and seconded by Commissioner Luke Gowen.
