Renovation of a fire / police facility in Bloomington, Illinois. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a fire / police facility.

Both elevators in the Police Department are original to the building and a few years ago the elevator maintenance company began communicating that due to the anticipated obsolescence of several electronic parts, they would soon be unable to service several critical components of the elevators. The maintenance company delayed this obsolescence by buying mass quantities of the high-risk parts, and limiting their sale to only service customers. They also began earnest development of a tailored modernization solution for affected elevators. Unfortunately, the high demand for these parts has accelerated component obsolescence and most parts are no longer available. Modernization of both elevators in the Police Department is now necessary in order to keep them operational and in compliance with applicable codes. Operating Impact: The improvements will solve issues that continue to arise with the elevators and sourcing parts for needed maintenance/repair. The future cost would involve annual maintenance of the system to guarantee it is operating at peak efficiency. Ultimately as with all mechanicals, the unit would need to be replaced.
