Council approves ADA-compliant toilets for park and awards installation to Snow’s Heating & Air Conditioning
Summary
After reviewing two bids, the council awarded the toilet replacement job at the town park to Snow’s Heating & Air Conditioning and asked that the contractor account for possible extra flange repairs; members cited ADA compliance concerns and grant funding for the project.
The Cleveland Town Council approved replacing the park’s noncompliant toilets with ADA-compliant automatic-flush units and awarded the installation to Snow’s Heating & Air Conditioning.
Committee member (speaker 2) moved ‘‘to go with Snow's Heating and Air Conditioning to replace our toilets at the park,’’ citing Snow’s prior work in town and the need for automatic flush units that likely require a plumber to wire sensors. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously in the meeting record.
Council members noted the lower bid from Snow’s (about $2,500) compared with a higher bid (about $3,648) and discussed a disclosure in one bid that flange damage—if found—would incur extra cost. The council directed staff to authorize the work under a budgeted line and to ensure the contractor accounts for potential extra flange repairs if they occur.
Members emphasized that the current park toilets were not ADA compliant and that bringing them up to standard would reduce legal risk and improve accessibility. The council approved the motion and asked staff to proceed with contract paperwork.
