NOTE:**


Need Additional Space


The construction cost of providing vertical accessibility to the existing 2nd floor office space would be disproportionate to the total construction costs, as per Florida section 202.4.2. Attached bids and quotes for vertical accessibility for ADA inclined platform stair lift and Elevator are between $56800 and $61600 and $89270 and $89400 respectively. The total cost of the current alternation is $59056 plus alternations in the previous 3 years in the amount $46939, totaling $105996. 20% of the total amount is $21199 therefore vertical accessibility is waived down to the ADA Standards requirements which states that if an existing building is less than 2 story and 3000sf and used for private office space vertical accessibility is waived.
