About this file
This document is a set of Questions and Answers related to the DTWA Elevator Modernization federal contract opportunity, Solicitation Number 697DCK-24-R-00304.
The key details are:
- The modernization work must be performed in accordance with the latest version of the ASME 17.1 code, which is 2022. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) is clear that the 2022 version must be followed.
- The facility is located in Detroit, and the contractor must determine the applicable seismic requirements using the process prescribed in the 2022 code.
- The facility can provide 2 dedicated emergency power circuits for the elevator mechanical requirements, but the contractor is responsible for providing the necessary breakers, conduit, and wiring.
- Hoistway lighting at each floor landing is required per ASME 17.1 (2022) Section 2.1.7.
- A dedicated superintendent is required, but a second superintendent for a second shift is not necessary if there is a person in charge who can act on behalf of the contractor.
- The existing elevator is on emergency power, and this status should be assumed for proposal purposes.
- The existing machine room ventilation has a fire-actuated damper and is part of an HVAC system.

Q&A
1. Please confirm whether ASME 17.1 (2019), or ASME 17.1 (2016) is the applicable code Proposals are to be based upon. If 2019, is there to be full ADA-compatibility with off-site external servers and a 2nd phone line to provide 24/7 video and 2-way text communications?
DISCUSSION: New York acknowledges the 2016 code, but the latest code is not very specific. According to the 2019 code, facilities need to establish data connections with external servers via data cable or WIFI for ADA-accessible phone, 24/7 video camera, and 2-way text communication. This requirement might not be welcomed by facility management and has been excluded at most facilities.
The Performance Work Statement (PWS) is clear, the latest ASME 17.1 must be followed which is 2022. FAA will not require the installation of cameras or the referenced data connection with external servers.
2. Please identify the seismic zone for this facility?
DISCUSSION: We don’t believe there’s a seismic issue in Detroit, but need to confirm as seismic is not identified in the SOW.
Use the process prescribed by latest version of code to determine seismic requirements for this location. Include explanation for process followed and assumptions made as part of proposal.
3. Shall the facility provide 2 spare 120V 20amp emergency power circuits for elevator mechanical requirements?
DISCUSSION: Please confirm the facility can provide 2 dedicated emergency breakers in an existing panel for electrical requirements should they be necessary.
FAA will identify and provide the needed spare circuits or panel spaces, contractor is responsible for providing breakers, running conduit, conductors, etc. as required to accomplish work.
4. Is Hoistway lighting at each floor landing required? Please advise if to exclude? DISCUSSION: UFC requires lighting at each landing throughout the hoistway. Please identify if this shall be required or if contractor shall retain existing (No hoistway lighting currently exists and is not required by ASME A17.1 code) Follow ASME A17.1 (2022) Section 2.1.7 Illumination of Hoistways for requirements.
5. Is the Contractor to provide a dedicated superintendent who is not the Mechanic-in-Charge or Lead Mechanic? Is a 2nd dedicated superintendent required if a 2nd shift is working?
DISCUSSION: The accelerated schedule to complete the modernization requires working in a dual shift manner. As such, does the FAA require a dedicated Superintendent for each shift--2 superintendents total—or is a day shift superintendent sufficient as long as he is on-call should some issue arise on the night shift?
A ‘2nd dedicated superintendent’ for additional shift on accelerated schedule will not be required if a person in charge is designated, has the authority to act on behalf of the contractor and can act in case of any unexpected issue or emergency.
6. Is the elevator currently on Emergency Power? If not, does it need to be added to emergency power.
The elevator is currently on emergency power.
7. Does the elevator currently receive a pre-transfer signal from the Automatic Transfer Switch?
Unknown. Please assume it does for the purpose of this proposal.
8. Shall the new generator be installed and functional prior to the elevator modernization? Will it include the elevator on emergency power?
Unknown. Will need coordinate at the time the elevator modernization is scheduled.
9. Does the existing Ventilation in the machine room have a fire actuated damper installed?
Yes.
10. Does the existing ventilation operate on a HVAC system or is it a fresh air vent?
HVAC system.
