Assembly moves to modernize elevators at hospital and middle school; contract estimated $677,804
Summary
Staff recommended and the assembly moved to authorize a single contract to modernize elevators at Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center and Kodiak Middle School. Staff estimated parts lead time of 26 weeks and an estimated combined out‑of‑service window of nine weeks; modernization is expected to extend service life roughly 10–15 years.
The Kodiak Island Borough presented a proposal to modernize elevators at two borough‑owned facilities and moved to authorize award to TK Elevator Corporation with a combined total estimated at $677,804.45.
Staff said the borough owns two elevators that need moderate modernization: Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center (PKMC) and Kodiak Middle School. The work was grouped into one procurement to standardize equipment and controls while treating each site as a separate project under a single contract. The request for proposals was advertised in January and only one proposer attended the mandatory pre‑bid; staff and the Architecture Review Board recommended TK Elevator Corporation as a responsible bidder.
Project details provided by project staff included an estimated parts lead time of 26 weeks and an estimated total out‑of‑service time of nine weeks across both sites (six weeks projected for PKMC and three weeks for the middle school). Patricia Valerio summarized costs on the proposal as approximately $437,828.05 for PKMC and $239,976 for Kodiak Middle School, with an overall schedule potentially extending work and procurement activities into November 2025. Staff estimated the modernization would extend elevator service life about 10 to 15 years.
Assembly members asked about change‑order thresholds and were reminded of borough code: routine change orders within 5% of contract amount or $50,000 (whichever is lower) follow an administrative approval path; change orders exceeding those limits require assembly approval. The assembly asked that staff record the 5% threshold against the individual contract components rather than the combined figure.
The assembly moved to authorize the borough manager to execute contract FY2025-43 with TK Elevator Corporation. The transcript records roll‑call votes during the action but the meeting record excerpt available here does not show the full published tally; staff noted the award recommendation and answered assembly questions during the regular meeting.
