About this file
This document is a Traction Elevator Modernization Specification prepared by Lerch Bates Inc. for the Tucson City Hall in Tucson, Arizona, detailing the comprehensive modernization of two geared passenger elevators (Elevator Nos. 1 and 2). The project, identified as AE Job #P22015 and AE Plan #C-23-005, was originally dated October 28, 2022, and has been revised multiple times through March 15, 2024. The specification covers a complete modernization including new machines, operational controls, dispatching, door equipment, signal fixtures, and car interior finishes while maintaining the existing elevator capacity of 2,500 lbs, contract speed of 400 fpm, and serving floors B through 10.
The modernization effort includes replacing critical components such as the traction machine (transitioning from geared to gearless base), controller, car enclosure, hall and car signals, communication systems, and emergency power features. The project requires compliance with current elevator safety codes, ADA requirements, and includes provisions for firefighters' emergency operation, two-way communication systems, and security features. The specification details extensive technical requirements for equipment performance, including noise levels, ride quality, door operations, and communication systems, with an emphasis on maintaining existing elevator functionality while upgrading to modern standards and technologies.
