The project requires the presence of qualified personnel from KTR and Nidec Elevators/MCE/Imperial to ensure compliance with manufacturer specifications and ASME A17.1/CSA B44 safety codes. The period of performance is 120 days from the date of award. Award is based on a best-value trade-off process evaluating technical approach, past performance, and price reasonableness.
