Can you please confirm how many units will require the test below during the specified testing period?

1. Clin 0001 5 Year Test = 12

1. Clin 1001 3 Year Test =26

1. Clin 4001 5 Year Test =12

1. Clin 4002 3 Year Test =26 Do the individuals witnessing the (load and non-load) test for solicitation #36C25221Q0553 need to be QEI certified? Yes, they need to be a certified inspector.

Per RFQ, there is no mention of overtime testing. Please confirm that all testing and inspections can take place during regular business hours. All testing and inspections will take place during normal hours operations.

RFQ requests pricing for Category 3 test witnessing. ASME A17.1 2016 only requires Category 3 testing for hydraulic pressure vessels and unexposed ends of water- hydraulic piston rods. Does the Milwaukee VA have hydraulic or water hydraulic elevators with pressure vessels or water hydraulic elevators? Even though not required by ASME A17.1 2016, Milwaukee VAMC tests all hydraulic elevators on the 3 year load test.

Which elevators are traction, which are hydraulic and which are roped hydraulic? Without this information there is no way to know which elevators are required to have the Category 5 testing. All are hydraulic except the main 12 in bld.111 and the listed dumbwaiters.

After discussing this with several QEI certified individuals, they are concerned that another Elevator Company is not going to allow them to do Annual and Semi-Annual inspections on equipment they are responsible for and I agree. I would not want another company coming in and messing with elevators I'm responsible for. I am wondering if all of the things listed are just "witness" only? The 3 and 5 year load tests are performed by the maintenance contractor and ONLY WITNESSED by the inspector.
