[sudo-discuss] Very important Omni proposals for wheelchair accessibility!

[hol at gaskill.com]

hey yar, 

small clarification - the $8k quote was for a used lift professionally
installed vs $10.7 for new one professionally installed, neither of
which includes any wall demo, but would include pulling permits, etc. as
far as buying used lifts on CL, we can install any of them that can bolt
to the floor ourselves if someone can pull the permit. putting in the
lift where the existing ramp is now on the first set of stairs would
avoid having to demo walls just to open fully compliant. for the
bathroom, i will try to acquire the grab bars and drain plug this week
before the meeting and submit a request for reimbursement since there
didn't seem to be any concerns there, and those items should come in
under $200. if anyone can put together a plan for plumbing a new sink
from the cold water supply of one of the existing urinals that would
help move things along. yay for accessibility! 

cheers
