BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The requested budget increase will allow ARMC to fund CIP Project No. 21-056, which has been prioritized as critical to the continued operations of the hospital.
On June 9, 2020 (Item No. 67), the Board approved the Project in the amount of $4,028,160, to modernize and upgrade the hospital’s patient and staff elevators, referred as elevator one and two, to improve reliability, safety, and operational efficiency. The scope of work includes replacement and upgrades to door components, motors, software, control systems, seismic systems, electrical infrastructure, fire alarm interfaces, communication systems, and elevator flooring.
On February 25, 2025 (Item No. 47), the Board approved a mid-year budget adjustment in the amount of $772,142, from $4,028,160 to $4,800,302 to fully fund existing project requirements associated with the Project.
On March 11, 2025 (Item No. 31), the Board approved another budget increase, in the amount of $1,227,858, from $4,802,302 to $6,028,160, to include elevators four, five, six, and seven.
Since that time, elevators 13 and 14 have been identified as requiring immediate remediation due to failures that are impacting hospital operations and delaying movement throughout the facility, thus increasing the project by $1,924,596, from $6,028,160 to a new total budget of $7,952,756.
This budget adjustment will provide funding to modernize and upgrade elevators 13 and 14 as part of the overall elevator improvement project.
