Schumacher Elevator, 12444823P0008, $24,388.80. It was only for one year.

2) Do you have the manufactured date or years to determine how old the elevators are at this moment? no

3) Are all the elevators currently in good working condition?

Yes, they are on a monthly maintenance schedule, and all have been certified as required.

4) Building 1 Small West Freight Elevator is not being used. Would you like us to exclude this?

from the bid? No, we still want the elevator to be inspected and preventative maintenance.

5) Line item 0005 small west freight elevator – Haughton – this elevator is 91 years old and parts availability is a significant concern. The onsite personnel said it is only used to transport material and this is infrequent. Could the scope of work be modified for this elevator to exclude repair services (e.g., any repairs necessary would be billable), so that the coverage for this elevator would be PM and testing only? Or perhaps exclude this from the contract scope altogether?

The elevator should still be inspected and have preventative maintenance. If the elevator needs repair, we will evaluate the situation if repair is possible or cost effective.

7) In the past, do you recall the emergency calls occurring weekly, monthly, or randomly throughout each year? We had one 6 years ago. It is only requested if someone is stuck in an elevator. Otherwise, the unit is put out of service until a repair person can come during business hours.

8) How will those emergency hours be paid out? How many emergency calls can we expect to receive each month? Should the hourly price be included towards the final contract price?

Or... will the emergency hours be paid out to contractors only as needed upon giving you hourly wage.

Over the past years, we have had very few emergency calls. We are asking for that information in case there is repair outside normal working hours. That information we would be part of your response to the solicitation.
