Board approves $19,334 elevator wiring-harness replacement with TKE, contingent on contract review
Summary
Commissioners approved a TKE work order to replace a broken elevator wiring harness for $19,334.02, with authorization contingent on Clerk Joel reviewing the work order and contract before execution.
The Henry County Board of Commissioners authorized a TKE work order to replace a wiring harness on the courthouse elevator at a stated cost of $19,334.02, with the approval made contingent on the clerk reviewing the work order and contract.
The chair described ongoing difficulty getting the elevator repaired, saying he had been "emailing back and forth" with TKE and that the company was recommending replacement of the entire wiring harness rather than a splice, which chair said was seen as a broken wire on inspection. The chair said the harness cost was $19,334.02 and noted frustration with the timeline; he asked for suggestions but no alternative contractors were offered.
A staff member who had spoken with the contractor and the engineering service said they appeared to be "pretty much locked into" the vendor and that no obvious alternatives were known. Commissioners agreed the county needed a functioning elevator and moved to approve the work order contingent on Joel reviewing the paperwork; the motion carried by voice vote, 3-0.
The transcript records the cost, the company name (TKE), and that the approval is contingent on a final review; it does not provide a firm timeline for completion or confirm vendor payment terms beyond a mention of a required down payment in the vendor's work-order language.
