Commissioners approve $733.67 elevator repair after liability concerns
Summary
The board approved a $733.67 quote from Eastern Elevator to install a car-top exhaust fan after staff raised concerns that using in-house maintenance could void warranties or raise liability issues. The motion passed unanimously.
Cameron County commissioners approved a $733.67 quote from Eastern Elevator to install a new car-top exhaust fan in the courthouse elevator.
Chair presented the quote, saying "The quote is in the amount of $733.67." Commissioners discussed having in-house maintenance (Jack) perform the work at lower cost but voiced concern about warranty and insurance implications if county staff completed the installation. The board favored letting the vendor perform the work and voted unanimously to approve the quote.
The county said maintenance can still source supplies at lower cost in other cases, but for this installation the liability and potential warranty issues led the board to accept the vendor quote. The work is expected to proceed following the vendor's schedule.
