This is a Questions and Responses document for Solicitation No. 15BBNF26Q20200003 for elevator modernization services at the Dayton Manor Staff Housing facility in MDC Brooklyn, New York.

The document addresses ten key inquiries from potential contractors regarding project scope and specifications. Regarding elevator specifications, the freight elevator speed is 150 feet per minute and passenger elevator speed is 150 feet per minute, with speeds to be verified by the contractor upon field inspection. For door replacement, passenger elevators require reuse of existing hoistway door panels with hardware replacement only, while freight elevators (Class A with bi-parting doors) require complete replacement of all hoistway doors and associated equipment. The new door panel finish will be all stainless steel with #4 3S finish. The elevator configuration is simplex arrangement with each elevator having its own dedicated machine room. Code compliance requires adherence to ASME A17.1 2022 standards. Regarding controller requirements, isolation transformers, remote monitoring, load weighing, and regenerative drives are not required; however, the new controllers must have capability for future Building Automation System integration. The solicitation does not include drawings in the Statement of Work; contractors must verify all existing field conditions. No time extensions for RFI submission will be granted, and hoistway door panel dimensions must be field-verified by the contractor.
