PROJECT INVESTIGATION DATES: October 31, 2023 – November 2, 2023

PROJECT OVERVIEW:

The USDA engaged with The Johnson McAdams Firm to investigate 12 elevators at the Beltsville

Agricultural Research Center. These 12 elevators are in 10 different buildings and range in height from 2 landings to 6 landings. The elevators also range in age from approximately 40 years old to only a few years old. The elevators range in types from passenger to service to freight, as well as hydraulic and traction.

This investigation required assessments of all 12 elevators and modernization recommendations for 9 of the 12 elevators. The assessments contain a detailed review of every component of the elevator from the cab, hoistway, hoist equipment, equipment rooms, life safety equipment and elevator electrical service. The modernization includes a detailed list, based on the assessments of each elevator’s deficiencies and recommendations to mitigate. Details of the scope of work for each elevator can be found in the Executive Summary.

This report is organized into several components. The (1) Executive Summary includes the basic findings of the total assessment and recommendations of each elevator, as well as addressing the requirements of the PRD. The (2) Assessment Report includes the detailed findings of each elevator, including elevator basic facts, the cab finishes, life safety issues, hoistway equipment, machine room equipment and signaling equipment. The (3) Modernization Report includes a list of requirements for Modernization of

Elevators #1 - #9 based on the Assessment Report findings. The (4) Permitting Requirements includes a list of all governing and code official authorities and agencies having jurisdiction over these elevators. It also includes a list of governing documents. The (5) Qualified Elevator Inspector’s Report includes a detailed analysis of each elevator’s condition as prepared by the Qualified Elevator Inspector (QEI). The

(6) Elevator Equipment Assessments include a detailed analysis provided by the Owner’s vendor for certain elevators; this analysis is used to supplement the QEI report findings. The (7) Hazardous

Materials Report includes the testing results and recommendations of these hazardous materials investigation taken on site. The (8) Centralized Monitoring System Options includes cut sheets from various manufacturers for review. The (9) Independent Government Estimate includes an itemized list of elevator components based on the recommendations of the Assessment Report; this estimate can be found in a separate document.

CENTRALIZED MONITORING SYSTEM:

Most large elevator companies offer a centralized monitoring system for elevators. These systems cost in the range of $15k to $25k per elevator depending on the level of desired monitoring. These systems also require CAT-6 connectivity at the elevator location and possible fiber connectivity between multiple buildings to monitor from one location. If these connections are not already in place, they would need to be installed at an estimated cost of $50k to $100k. These systems are subscription-based running about $75 to $100 per month per elevator. Additional information and brochures are attached in

Appendix D for review on the monitoring systems from three major elevator companies.

PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS

The governing authorities and documents associated with elevator modernization are listed after the individual elevator assessments.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SUMMARY:

Asbestos was not detected in any component tested during the exercise. Asbestos is suspected in the flooring of certain elevators per the report. Due to the building user’s preference, samples were NOT taken inside the elevators. It is assumed that these floors contain asbestos and will be treated as such in this project. Lead was found in two elevator machine room door frames: Building 7 and Building 308.

PRD REF ELEVATOR #1 (CONTINUED): RECOMMENDATIONS:

The findings of the Assessment Report recommend for this elevator: MODERNIZATION

The recommendation above is based on the following:

CAB FINISHES:

• Recommend refinishing the cab based on QEI report.

• Flooring suspect of asbestos containing materials (ACM).

LIFE SAFETY:

• Replace or upgrade fire alarm systems throughout the building.

QUALIFIED ELEVATOR INSPECTOR (QEI):

• Building No. 1 is a Dover passenger hydraulic elevator. It was out of service and inaccessible at the time of this survey. This elevator will require a complete modernization to include a new controller, all new wiring, new fixtures, new door equipment, including new linear door operator, and new machine room lighting. The condition of the Piston could not be evaluated. All electrical and mechanical would need upgrading along with the fire alarm system for the elevator.

The Independent Government estimate for this recommendation can be found in a separate document.
