About this file
This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the modernization of two passenger elevators at the U.S. Consulate General in Chennai, India, with an anticipated completion timeline of four months from the project start date in July 2026.
The contractor must provide all labor, supervision, materials, tools, and equipment to modernize, test, and commission the elevators by upgrading from the existing G551CA control code to GPS3L1 and replacing the VFEL control system with VFGLCRL. Core specifications include retaining the 900 KGS capacity, 1 MPS speed, four-floor service, and full collective operation mode. The modernization encompasses mechanical and aesthetic upgrades including a new electrical main motor encoder, advanced variable voltage/frequency drive, new door motor, cabin wall upgrades to PPS finish, and new car front/transom panels with SUS-H finish. User interface upgrades require new hall buttons, position indicators, hall lanterns, car operating panel, arrival electronic chime, emergency bell, multi-beam door sensors, and a hands-free intercom system capable of emergency communication to post-1. Safety features must include firefighter emergency operation connected to the building fire alarm system, emergency landing devices with audio/visual indicators, false call cancellation, power-on releveling, safe landing functionality, and fire emergency cabin lighting. Additional work includes replacing electrical power feeder switches with MCBs/MCCBs, minor civil repairs, metal framework repairs and painting, elevator pit and machine room painting, and LED light installation. A minimum 12-month warranty applies to all spares and installation from the commissioning date. The contractor must notify the Contracting Officer's Representative 30 days in advance of any major civil modifications. All work must comply with local regulations and international elevator safety standards such as ASME A17.1 or EN81, with mandatory lockout/tagout procedures, fall protection, temporary barricades, and proper site housekeeping required throughout execution.
