The Clarksburg City Council approved a sole-source emergency repair contract with Schindler Elevator for $18,254.55 to address recent wear-and-tear damage to an elevator (described in the meeting as an elevator associated with the parking lot/City Hall and under an existing service contract). A council member noted the repair is difficult to bid out because the city is under contract with the manufacturer/service provider.
“We approve a contract with Schindler Elevator for the amount of $18,254.55,” said an unidentified council member, and the motion was seconded; the council then approved the contract by voice vote.
The administration described the repair as a sole-source purchase because the city is under contract with the elevator company and estimated the cost would be about $15,000–$18,254.55.
