FINANCIAL BUSINESS REQUEST (FBR)
Motion/Request:
title
MOTION to update the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Projects List and allocation to add the Town Hall Vertical Lift Project in the amount of up-to $135,000.
In addition, grant a Bid Waiver to Lifeway Mobility in the amount of $45,600 for the installation of a Town Hall Vertical Lift, to meet ARPA Projects December 31, 2024, deadline.
end
Background:
The Town Hall lacks an elevator between its two levels. This has presented a routine hardship to many patrons. There is a lower cost, but fully adequate option, available in the form of a vertical lift with adequate capacity to handle people and other transport needs.
Architectural plans have already been produced (attached). And the various associated technical and quote documents are also attached.
The enclosure is proposed to be accomplished through State Bid. And various proposals were considered for the lift itself, with the selected one being the lowest price of four options. Because of the price (i.e., in excess of $15,000), a bid waiver is needed.
Department Comment/Recommendation:
I recommend proceeding with this project to address a logstanding need.
