Pittsboro parks board authorizes up to $1,000 to motorize concession garage door
Summary
The Parks Board approved spending up to $1,000 to install a LiftMaster opener on a heavy concession-area garage door, aiming to ease access for staff and volunteers; electrical work will be coordinated with town staff.
The Pittsboro Parks Board approved authorization of up to $1,000 to install a motorized opener on a heavy concession-area garage door, a move board members said will make it easier for staff and volunteers to access equipment.
The board’s chair moved the measure to contract with Superior Garage Door for a LiftMaster opener, and a fellow board member seconded the motion. Members discussed two vendor quotes during the meeting, which included a higher bid from Superior and a lower bid from Excel Garage Door Service. The board said it preferred Superior if the company could offer a town price.
Board members said electrical work is required for the opener. Ron, the parks maintenance staff, said a dedicated outlet will need to be installed and that town staff (Jason) would likely handle running power as part of related work on a grinder pump. “There’s plenty of room to install” for the motor and the electrical, Ron said, adding the installer may require some prep work in the storage area.
The chair said the board would authorize up to $1,000 to proceed and asked staff to coordinate logistics with the town’s maintenance crew. The motion was seconded and moved to a voice vote; the transcript records the motion, second and the vote call but does not list a roll-call tally in the minutes.
Next steps: staff will contact Superior to confirm price and scheduling and work with Jason on the outlet placement and any minor preinstallation clearing that installers request.
