SMDOT Elevator Maintenance

The City of Santa Monica, through the D600 Department of Transportation (SaMoDOT), is soliciting proposals for turnkey maintenance, inspection, and repair services for three hydraulic elevators located at 1620 6th Street. The equipment includes one Independent model AAK137, one Montgomery model AA2986, and one Otis model AEP227. The selected contractor must provide monthly systemic maintenance, a dedicated maintenance supervisor for safety surveys, and 24/7 emergency callback services with a one-hour response time. All parts must be new, conform to Original Equipment Manufacturer standards, and be stocked in a local warehouse. The award will be granted to the best bidder based on a variety of factors, including the technical experience of key personnel, financial resources, and the ability to provide future service, rather than solely on the lowest price. Bidders must comply with Title II of the ADA, the Living Wage Ordinance, and Labor Code Section 1773.2 regarding prevailing wages. A payment bond is required for awards exceeding 25,000 dollars, and the City requires a certificate of insurance naming them as an additional insured. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by November 9, 2026, at 3:00pm. The contract includes a ten-day written notice period for termination without cause and requires notification of force majeure events within 24 hours.
