Committee approves elevator modernization work as part of capital plan
Summary
The committee approved a change order to increase funds for elevator modernization and maintenance across county facilities, citing a multi‑year CIP plan to replace older equipment and components.
The Operations Committee approved change order number 15 to the elevators/escalators/walkway maintenance contract to modernize aging elevators at county buildings, including work at Richardson Health Center and the West DeKalb Mental Health Center.
Staff said the project replaces electronic components, upgrades cabs and aligns with a capital improvement plan that treats elevators as having roughly a 22‑year life expectancy. Commissioners noted the county has been incrementally modernizing elevators across properties and that this change order continues that multi‑year approach. The item was moved, seconded and approved on a voice vote.
