Teton County Library board to fund $40K Jackson sprinkler fixes
On March 19, the Teton County Library Board is slated to approve $40,000 from capital reserves to address fire-suppression sprinkler-head installation deficiencies flagged in the annual inspection at the Jackson branch.
The Teton County Library Board of Directors will consider approving up to $40,000 for fire-suppression system upgrades at the Jackson library, after the facility’s annual inspection found multiple deficiencies tied to sprinkler-head installations.
In a staff report, facilities maintenance coordinator Rick Smith said the library worked with Mountain Fire Protection and Teton County/Jackson Fire EMS to define the scope needed to bring the building into compliance with current code. Fire/EMS characterized the issues as “life safety and building protection requirements,” described as “non-critical” but needing remediation. (Fire Department Staff Report)
If approved, the funding would come from the library’s Capital Reserves Fund (account 910-000). Smith said staff would manage the project through a request-for-proposals process, including review and scoring of bids and awarding a contract. The agenda item does not name a contractor or a completion date. (Library Board Meeting Agenda)
