Commissioners approve $733.67 elevator fan installation by Eastern Elevator
Summary
After weighing cost savings against warranty and liability concerns, commissioners authorized Eastern Elevator to install a car-top exhaust fan for $733.67 rather than having county maintenance perform the work.
The Cameron County Commissioners approved a $733.67 quote from Eastern Elevator to install a new car-top exhaust fan on the courthouse elevator after discussing warranty, insurance and liability issues.
Maintenance foreman Jack said he could purchase parts at lower cost and perform the work himself, but commissioners expressed concern that in-house work could jeopardize warranties or raise insurance liabilities. Commissioner Herzing moved to approve the Eastern Elevator quote; Commissioner Moate seconded, and the motion was approved unanimously.
The minutes record no additional conditions beyond approval to proceed with the vendor’s installation.
