Baker County staff: engineer to assess ADA bathroom upgrades; well replacement delays window orders
Summary
A Baker County staff member told the Baker County Commission an engineer will inspect a county facility to scope Americans with Disabilities Act restroom upgrades. Staff said window and door orders are on hold pending cost estimates for a required well replacement, and that community partners may contribute in-kind labor.
A Baker County staff member told the Baker County Commission that an engineer will inspect a county facility to determine what is required to complete Americans with Disabilities Act upgrades to restrooms, and that orders for windows and doors have been delayed because the facility’s well must be replaced.
"We've got an engineer that's gonna come out and take a look at what it would take to do the ADA updates on the bathrooms," the county staff member said during the meeting.
The staff member said the county is waiting for cost estimates for a new well before ordering windows and doors. "We have not ordered any windows or doors because of the the well issue that's there. We know that we need a new well that has to be replaced, and so we're waiting on the cost estimates to come into that," the staff member said.
The report noted potential community assistance: "With the partnerships in the community, it sounds as though we're gonna get some in kind services to do some of that work," the staff member said, adding that a contractor or engineer was scheduled to inspect the bathrooms that week to advise on required work and costs.
No formal motion or vote was recorded in the transcript excerpt. The staff member said they expect to provide a fuller update at the next commission meeting but did not specify dates, cost estimates, or a procurement timeline.
Staff characterized the project as ongoing and said they still anticipate moving forward with window and door replacement after the well work is scoped and costed.
