See the section titled “Controllers”, which specifies that the new controllers must include onboard diagnostic capabilities and support Fireman's Service Phase I and Phase II operations, in compliance with current fire and elevator code requirements.

See Section E: Testing and Acceptance, which states that the contractor is responsible for performing all operational testing, system break-in, adjustments, and optimizations. This includes verifying that the fire recall functions operate properly and ensuring the elevator control system is fully functional and compliant prior to final acceptance.
