About this file

This is Addendum 2 to a Centralized Request for Quote (CRFQ) issued by the West Virginia Department of Administration, Purchasing Division, for elevator modernization services across five state facilities (Buildings 1, 3, 6, 13, and 23). The addendum modifies the original solicitation to extend the bid opening date from the initial deadline to September 24, 2026, at 1:30 PM EST, primarily to accommodate vendor requests for additional time due to Labor Day weekend scheduling conflicts and extended procurement timelines from subcontractors. Mandatory pre-bid meetings were scheduled for August 11-12, 2026, with vendor technical questions due by August 27, 2026. The project encompasses complete modernization of geared basement traction passenger elevators in Building 1 (two cars, 1,800 lbs capacity, 100 FPM), gearless overhead traction elevators in Building 3 (four cars, 3,000 lbs capacity, 500 FPM), and hydraulic elevators in Building 13, along with similar modernization work in Buildings 6 and 23. The work includes equipment replacement, hoistway entrance refurbishment, car enclosure updates, and comprehensive signal and fixture installations with all work to comply with ASME A17.1 2013 Edition and West Virginia Building Code standards.

The addendum addresses vendor concerns raised during the pre-bid process, including modifications to car operating panel specifications in Building 1 to incorporate new designs rather than retaining existing custom antique styles, and replacement of the entire cab shell in Building 13's parking garage due to moisture damage rather than limited interior finish replacement. The successful vendor will be responsible for interim maintenance from mobilization through modernization and one year of full preventive warranty maintenance, including 24-hour callback service with a maximum one-hour on-site response time. All components must be non-proprietary with readily available replacement parts and technical support for a minimum of fifteen years. The specifications emphasize compliance with ADA accessibility standards, fire safety codes, and performance criteria including stopping accuracy within one-quarter inch and ride quality parameters. Detailed architectural and mechanical drawings and specification sections for each building are incorporated by reference, with addendum documentation including Building 23 roof warranty information and revised electrical, mechanical, and vertical transportation sheets dated August 28, 2026.

Elevator Modernizations (Phase 3) Vendor Technical Questions and Responses

Q1. Can we get a bid extension until September 24, 2026 due to vendors not returning quotes in a timely fashion and with the size of this project we have to go through our main office which takes a couple weeks.

A1. Bid Open will now be September 24th, 2026. (Per addendum 2)

Q2. In the specification for Building 1 under 212 B. Car Operating Panel 1. It states Retain existing custom antique style as manufactured by C.J. Anderson. After surveying and consulting fixture manufactures it has been determined the Car Operating Panels must be replaced due to added features.

A2. A new COP will be included in Addendum 2

Q3. In building 13, the parking garage, under 2.11 Car Enclosures, item A. It states Retain the existing car shell and replace the interior finishes: during the walk through it was noticed the car tops are wooded and weak from moisture in the open to weather parking garage. We would recommend replacement of the entire car shell since interior finishes are to be replaced as this will strengthen the cabs and prevent further deuteriation.

A3. Replacing the entire cab shell will be included in Addendum 2.

Q4. Due to the Labor Day weekend ending on September 7,2026, we are concerned the sub-contractors will have issues with getting us pricing due to vacations and a long weekend. We would like to see if there is a chance of moving the bid date.

A4. Bid Open will now be September 24th, 2026. (Per addendum 2)

Q5. We are having a bit of trouble getting responses from vendors who also say they are struggling getting pricing from their vendors. Can we get another 2 weeks added to the bid date for this project to help alleviate this headache and slow responses?

A5. Bid Open will now be September 24th, 2026. (Per addendum 2)

ADDENDUM NO.2 009113 - 3 ADDENDA

1) The existing pit slab meets a minimum thickness of 8” and a compressive strength of 3000 psi.

2) Triad representative performed a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey at

Building 23 elevator pit. GPR was utilized to delineate the presence or absence of steel reinforcement. Based on the GPR testing, reinforcing steel was observed within the elevator pit slab. The imaged reinforcing steel produced a very faint signal and was difficult to delineate. Based on the age of the concrete and the faint

GPR readings, it is likely that the reinforcing steel is corroded. The reinforcing steel oriented perpendicular to the elevator door appeared to have a nominal spacing of 12 to 13 inches, and the reinforcing steel oriented parallel to the elevator door appeared to have a nominal spacing of 8 inches. The reinforcing steel is embedded approximately 4 to 6 inches, and the total slab thickness appears to be roughly 8 inches.

3) The size of reinforcement cannot accurately be identified with GPR. However, the imaged targets suggest that the elevator pit slab contained reinforcing steel larger than wire mesh.

4) It should be noted that there are various factors that can interfere with imaging to adequate depths when utilizing geophysical methods. Some of these factors include soil types, age of the concrete, moisture content of subgrade soils/concrete, depth and the presence of utilities and/or other subsurface items. As such, pulses emitted by GPR testing may not be able to penetrate air-filled CMU cells, or below adjacent utilities. All of these factors have a direct impact on the signal strength of the geophysical device and the ability to accurately detect targets (i.e., steel reinforcement, utilities, conduits etc.). As such, Triad cannot guarantee the presence of all steel reinforcement at the tested areas when utilizing geophysical methods alone.
