Comal County approves final change orders for Public Health EOC and elevator communications
Summary
The commissioners approved Change Order No. 38 ($46,392) for the Public Health Emergency Operations Center (items include camera replacements, enunciator panel relocation, handrail installation) and a $2,000 Schindler Elevator communications change notice funded from ARPA interest earned funds.
Comal County staff told the court the Public Health Emergency Operations Center project is nearing completion but requires several final changes. Staff recommended approving Change Order No. 38 for $46,392 to cover updated camera equipment (specified units reached end of life), relocation of an elevator generator enunciator panel to a more visible location, required handrails on a sloped sidewalk, and a lighting fixture conflict in cot storage.
The court approved the change order; funding was identified as American Rescue Plan Act interest‑earned funds. Staff also explained the elevator and fire monitoring systems need a digital phone line service; the court approved a Schindler Elevator Corporation change notice for approximately $2,000 to provide that communications service.
County staff said no additional construction time was required for the change order and recommended approval to close out final project items.
