1.1 LOCATION:

Hoover Dam is located 8 miles east of Boulder City, Nevada.

1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A. Furnish all engineering, materials, labor, tools, equipment, transportation, supervision, and inspections to replace the original two escalators, with two heavy duty, in-place, fully functional escalators.

In addition to the removal and installation, the contractor will provide training on the operation and maintenance of the escalators, select critical spare parts, any unique special tools needed to work on the escalator, and drawings of the installed escalators.

B. Note: Space around the escalators is limited. At night, road closures next to the escalators are possible. Due to high-voltage electrical lines, any overhead crane work with potential to reach into the clear space around the lines will require a line outage.

Line outages will be limited in duration.

C. Escalators shall be identified as “Up” and “Down”. Although both escalators shall be able to travel in either direction, the Up escalator is a normally-up travel located closest to the canyon wall and the Down escalator is a normally-down travel located closest to the river side.

1. Escalator Fabrication Schedule;

2. Removal and installation schedule with proposed line outages and road closures;

3. Overall project schedule.

B. Daily Work Hours

1. The Contractor shall perform on-site work during off-hours, which are from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., Pacific Standard Time, - Monday thru Friday. The Contractor will coordinate with the Government to work during daytime hours, if current conditions allow.
