SECTION I:  DESCRIPTION OF WORK TO BE PERFORMS:

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 

The elevators that serve the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) (1201 N 4000 W, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84116) at the Salt Lake City (SLC) Airport were commissioned in 1999. There is one elevator serving the tower (gear traction elevator) and another serving the base building (hydraulic elevator). The tower elevator is the primary means of vertical transportation up and down the tower and is the only elevator that serves the ATCT. The ATCT is 328-ft above ground level (AGL) and the tower elevator services 23 levels.

The base building elevator, used by facility staff who cannot use the stairs, is also in need of repair. The base building elevator only serves the first and second floor of the base building. Both elevators are accessible by the link connecting the tower and base building facilities.

These elevators are in operational condition but see frequent outages. The project must bring both elevators up to the most recent version of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) A17.1 elevator code.

SCOPE OF WORK

The contractor must perform a professional assessment to identify all deficiencies of each elevator, followed by a modernization (alteration) of each elevator and elevator components in accordance with the latest edition of the ASME A17.1 “Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators” to maximize the life expectancy of each elevator plant.

Currently the Specifications and Drawings are not available for posting.  However, a Draft Summary of Work is provided as an attachment.

The anticipated period of performance is 180 CALENDAR DAYS.
