Elevator Pre-Proposal Conference May 24,2018 Question & Answer
Question 1. What is the lifespan of the elevators?
Answer: The COR advised that the manufacturer recommends the lifespan of the elevator, and its service life is mitigated by adequate preventative maintenance. The vendor is the technical expert, who should advise on the useful life of the elevator and parts. The COR stated that the year of manufacture for the elevator equipment is 2002 for the Chancery Elevators, and 2005 for the USAID Elevators. The installation dates and maintenance history can be found on the respective service logs located in the elevator machine rooms.
Question 2. Will the vendor be informed when the annual Overseas Building Operations (OBO) elevator inspection is due? How long does the inspection take?
Answer: When the elevator inspector from Overseas Building Operations (OBO) is due for a visit, the contracted vendor will be informed in good time and the entire inspection takes 5 working days. There is also a requirement for a full load test after every two years, or as needed by the OBO Inspector. This requirement will also be notified to the contractor well in advance.
Question 3. Are vendors allowed to store emergency repairs tools and supplies within the machine room, to reduce emergency response time?
Answer: The COR confirmed that there is provision for the vendor to store emergency repair tools and parts in the machine room.
Question 4. If a new vendor takes over the maintenance contract, is there a formal handover of passwords, software and special tools to the new vendor?
Answer: The COR clarified that there will be a formal handover from the existing maintenance vendor, but the new vendor can propose to conduct an inspection of the equipment before the handover. Also, there are no special tools or software in the possession of the Embassy. Therefore, the new vendor must ensure that everything they need is transferred during the handover and that they purchase if necessary additional requisite tools and software licenses.
Offerors were advised to send any further questions in writing by Tuesday, May 29th, 2018.
The CO advised the contractors that the answers to written questions will be posted on the US Embassy website and FedBizOpps website for all potential offerors to access.
The conference adjourned at 11:00 am.
