Staff recommend paying for on‑site KONE technicians as interim fix; rate estimated $355/hour
Summary
County staff recommended buying KONE service hours to keep elevators running during modernization planning; staff cited a published KONE rate of $355 per service hour (higher for overtime), and suggested taking the request to the next BET meeting for possible reimbursement.
Keith, a county staff member, recommended purchasing on‑site KONE service during peak periods as an interim reliability measure while the county prepares long‑term plans.
"Spend the money, put KONE on‑site if they're willing to do so," Keith said, noting past courthouse upgrades used KONE service hours and that KONE's published rate is $355 per service hour, with overtime and holiday premiums.
