What's Going On
July 2019 Update on the Van Pelt Accessibility Project
As a result of two site visits to experience first-hand a vendor’s proposed lifts, there was a decision to bring additional vendors into the procurement process to address quality issues. Further reviews of the plan highlighted the need to research solutions to address usability, ongoing maintenance and support and safety requirements. The staff despite these latest challenges continues to be highly committed to ensuring as feasible as possible an ADA-compliant, well-functioning solution. An updated report will be available at the end of September noting the latest findings coming out of additional site visits and research. Should you have any questions about the project please feel free to call Norman Fouhy (Business Administrator) or Nic Tenaglia (Building Superintendent) at (215) 563-3980
