On-Call Elevator Assessment, Modernization or Replacement and Construction Administration Services

The City of Seattle, through its Finance and Administrative Services Capital Development division, is seeking qualifications to establish two on-call contracts for professional firms to provide elevator assessment, modernization, replacement, and construction administration services. These contracts will remain valid through 2031 and involve preparing modernization scopes of work, designing new installations in occupied buildings, and providing technical repair and maintenance advisory services. Preferred consultant teams should possess multidisciplinary expertise in architectural, structural, elevator, and MEP disciplines. A primary deliverable for each project is a feasibility assessment report detailing recommended improvements to equipment, finishes, controls, shafts, and communication devices based on industry standards and code compliance. Qualified firms must submit their responses via the OpenGov e-procurement portal by 2:00 pm on November 19, 2026. Submissions are limited to ten pages and must include a Statement of Qualifications, a Consultant Inclusion Plan for Woman and Minority Business Enterprises, and proof of Secretary of State registration. The City will evaluate proposals based on team qualifications and relevant experience from the past ten years, with the potential for interviews for top-ranked firms. Awardees will be selected based on the combined results of the written proposal and interview. The resulting agreements will include standard terms such as a 30-day payment cycle and compliance with the City's Paid Sick Time and Safe Time ordinance.
