Commissioners discuss courthouse elevator replacement estimate; plan for further scoping and bids
Summary
The commission discussed an estimated courthouse elevator replacement cost (recorded in discussion around $223,487.05 then revised) and agreed to seek further scope, involve Great River or an architect, and put the project out to bid where appropriate.
Commissioners reviewed a scope-of-work email and an initial cost estimate for replacing the courthouse elevator. The figure was discussed and adjusted in the meeting record; commissioners instructed staff to engage engineering or architectural assistance to scope the project and to plan procurement steps that could include an architect-prepared bid package.
A line in the record showed the cost as "$223,487.05" and was later revised by the clerk to "$223,480.10" in the minutes discussion; commissioners agreed to revisit the project at the next meeting and to contact Great River or similar firms to determine whether they can provide planning and grant-related assistance. One commissioner recommended using a general contractor to manage subcontracts and ensure all electrical and structural needs are covered, while staff agreed to review the elevator scope and the electrical requirements before advertising for bids.
