About this file
This is a vendor questions and answers document for a wheelchair platform lift replacement project at Hampton National Historic Site in Towson, Maryland. The document addresses four key questions regarding wage scale rates for laborers (#23470), electricians (#23160), and wheelchair lift installers (#23530), requirements for demonstrating ability through picture documentation of prior installations, clarification on measurement specifications, and a vendor's alternative suggestion for an inclined stairway chair lift. The National Park Service explicitly stated that due to the historical significance of the building, no alternative lift designs will be considered beyond the specified wheelchair platform lift.

Vendor questions with answers
1.) NPS: Please confirm which wage scale rates we’re to use for the following trades:
1. General/common laborer use # 23470 in wage grade scale
2. Electrician use #23160in wage grade scale
3. Wheelchair Lift installer use #23530 in wage grade scale Answer:
2.) Can you please clarify what you are looking for as far as demonstrating ability? Picture documentation on prior wheelchair lifts installed by your company.
3.) Measurement needed:
Nose to floor length, it's the top stair thread to the floor, with the tape measure resting on the stairs, leaving 12" from the bottom step.
Not sure what they are asking for please see the SOW.
4.) Based on experience, this style of wheelchair platform lift often requires frequent servicing and tends to have more downtime than operational time. Would you consider installing an "inclined stairway chair lift" instead? This type of lift operates on a track system that allows the chair to move seamlessly up and down the stairs. It would not only take up significantly less space but also offer greater efficiency and reliability.
Due to the historical significance of the building NO OTHER LIFT DESIGNS will be considered.
