MODERNIZATION OF ELEVATORS 1-6

SCOPE OF WORK

I. PROJECT IDENTIFICATION

PROJECT TITLE: Modernization of Elevators 1-6

A. BUILDING: USDA-APHIS at 4700 River Road (MD1872ZZ) B. LOCATION: 4700 River Road, Riverdale Park, MD 20737

C. PROJECT CONTROL NO.: RMD83932

D. ASID: RMD83932

E. GSA WORK ITEM NO.: 0014

II. BACKGROUND

A. The building at 4700 River Road is occupied by the US Department of

Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspections Service (APHIS). This building was designed by the Weihe Group Architects and Planners and was completed in 1995. This building was purchased by GSA from a private owner in 2015. The building is a six (6) story concrete structure (concrete columns and structural slabs) with a non-load bearing brick and aluminum framed window façade. The building contains approximately 337,500 SF of rentable space. The building sits on a twelve (12) acre site. The building contains a total of six (6) elevators that breakdown to one (1) freight and five (5) passenger elevators. The elevators were manufactured by Northern Elevator. This company is no longer in business so technical support is limited to the worn and incomplete electrical prints that were found in the machine room. Thyssen Krupp has since acquired the remants of this company. The elevators are split between the east and west side of the building. Each bank contains three (3) elevators.

B. The building elevators are experiencing a high volume of mechanical breakdowns and problems. These problems are occurring on a weekly basis and are due in part to past maintenance issues and the fact that much of the equipment is obsolete nearing the end of it’s life expectancy. It is imperative that repairs be made to ensure that they remain in good working order for the buildings nearly 1,100 tenants.

III. OBJECTIVES

A. This is elevator modernization and a design-build project. The design and specifications for all six (6) elevators are to be completed by the general

Rufus Frazier, GSA PM

4700 River Road (USDA) Modernization of Elevators 1 - 6 contractor as the first part of this award. The general contractor will then have to complete the elevator modernization per the GSA approved design. All submittals must be approved by GSA, before construction on the project begins.

B. The scope of work calls for the design-build construction and modernization of the elevators. The scope of work is intended to incorporate the full design and build-out construction of all six (6) elevators.

There are two elevator banks in the building. The West Bank consist of Elevator 1 (Freight) and Passenger Elevators #2 and #3. The East Bank consist of Passenger Elevators #4, #5 and #6. Rebuild the Northern Elevator overhead geared traction machines, provide new elevator controllers with Variable Voltage Variable Frequency (VVVF) drives, install “rope gripper” for unintended movement, provide new hoist and governor ropes, new hoistway wiring and traveling cables, new car and counterweight roller guides, new rollers and safety interlocks, new car door operator (closed loop), new car door panels and ventilation, new car top inspection station, new hall and car operating fixtures with LED lamps, paint entrance frames, new electronic door edge detector, new cab interior applied panels, ceiling and flooring. Retain car and counterweight guide rails, refurbish deflector sheaves and governor cable tension assembly, clean hoistway entrance sills and car sill, refurbish hoistway door panels, retain car frame and platform, modify lobby control panel. Provide new pit ladders. For additional detail refer to the “100% Final Elevator Study” by Ashland Industries Services dated Dec. 30, 2016.
