About this file
This document contains the results of a vertical transportation onsite survey conducted at a VA Medical Center. The survey assessed twenty units across nine buildings, including ten traction elevators, eight hydraulic elevators, and two service cart lifts. Seventeen of the units were found to be in poor condition and past their useful life, requiring modernization of major components at an estimated total cost of $3.9 to $3.95 million. Modernization of all seventeen units is projected to take approximately two and a half years to complete.
The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from the Department of Veterans Affairs to upgrade elevators in Phase II of a project. The solicitation number is 36C24623B0032_1 and corresponds to project number 658-22-103 under the Veterans Health Administration VISN 6.

The Elevator Consultants conducted a vertical transportation onsite survey at the VA Medical
Center located at 1970 Roanoke Blvd in Salem, VA on October 1, 2018. The onsite survey was performed at nine (9) buildings which consisted of twenty (20) units; ten (10) traction elevators, eight (8) hydraulic elevators and two (2) service cart lifts. The vertical transportation onsite survey includes a review of the equipment type and condition, an estimated cost to replace the systems and a potential schedule to replace the systems.
Building 1
There is one (1) hydraulic elevator located in Building 1 that has a capacity of 4,000 pounds, travels at a speed of 125 feet per minute and serves 3 landings. The elevator uses a Dover controller, Dover dry hydraulic pump unit assembly, Dover in-ground jack unit assembly, Dover door operation system, slide guide assemblies, spring buffers and cab fixtures that are all original from 1976. Overall, the equipment is in poor condition and is operating beyond its useful life expectancy. The condition of the hydraulic jack unit assembly is unknown because the jack unit is in the ground. The major components; controllers, machine, pump units, door operating equipment, guide assemblies, safety equipment, hall and car fixtures and a safety buffer will be replaced except for the hydraulic jack unit assembly which will be reused during the modernization. An estimated budget of $150K should be planned to modernize the elevator.
This budget does not include non-elevator work such as electrical, fire life safety, hoistway patching, etc. to meet current code. The modernization will take an estimated 4 – 6 weeks from the time material is onsite.

Building 2
There are two (2) hydraulic elevators located in Building 2. The elevators have a capacity of 4,000 pounds, travel at a speed of 100 feet per minute and serves 4 landings. The elevators use Virginia control systems, dry hydraulic pump unit assemblies, GAL door operators and cab fixtures that were installed during the 1995 modernization. The elevators use original slide guide assemblies, spring buffers and in-ground jack unit assemblies. All equipment is in poor condition. The condition of the hydraulic jack unit assembly is unknown because the jack unit is in the ground.
The major components; controllers, machine, pump units, door operating equipment, guide assemblies, safety equipment, hall and car fixtures and a safety buffer will be replaced except for the hydraulic jack unit assembly which will be reused during the modernization. An estimated budget of $150K per elevator for a total of $300K should be planned to modernize both elevators.
This budget does not include non-elevator work such as electrical, fire life safety, hoistway patching, etc. to meet current code. The modernization of both elevators will take an estimated
4 – 6 weeks to modernize after material is on site.

Overall
Overall, the twenty (20) units surveyed, the overall condition of seventeen (19) of the units were rated as poor and due for modernization based on the use, age of the equipment, parts availability and engineering. An estimated cost of $3.9M to $3.95M should be budgeted to modernize the seventeen (17) elevators and two (2) cart lifts and does not include non-elevator work. It is recommended that quotes be received for all of the non-elevator work (electrical, fire life safety and hoistway patching) so a full budget can be planned attained. The schedule for modernization with 2 crews will take an estimated two and a half (2 1/2) years from the time material arrives on site until the last elevator is completed.
