The elevators are 1979 Dover passenger elevators that serve six floors at PIMC, 4212 North 16th Street, Phoenix, AZ, 85016. The work includes the removal and disposal of elevator components not being used in the modernization, the supply and installation of new components, refurbishment of components, cab interior refurbishment, electrical work, preventative maintenance during construction and warranty periods, minimum one year warranty, and all other work necessary to provide fully functional elevators in compliance with the latest Edition of ASME A17.1 Safety Code for

Elevators and Escalators. The successful Contractor shall coordinate with PIMC’s access control vendor for access controls on designated elevators and PIMC’s fire alarm vendor for any required fire alarm initiating devices per NFPA 72 standards.

1. The access control vendor who has worked on the existing system at PIMC is as follows:

Electronic Security Concepts, LLC 8320 East Gelding Drive Scottsdale, AZ 85260 POC: Joe Menke Phone (480) 947-6032

2. The fire alarm vendor who has worked on the existing system at PIMC is as follows:

Low Voltage Contractors, Inc.

1725 W University Dr., Suite 114 Tempe, AZ 85281 Phone: (480) 967-0800

B. A pair of side by side elevators at the main entrance of the hospital facing east provide service to the general public. Directly behind the public elevators are two side by side elevators that face west and provide service to PIMC staff. Access to the staff elevators is granted by PIV access control card readers. During modernization work, one public and one staff elevator shall remain fully functional at all

14 21 10-2 times. To minimize downtime, the Contractor shall work on one public and one staff elevator simultaneously.

Construction activities and risk groups that have the potential to be impacted will be identified in the Infection Control

Risk Assessment (ICRA) plan developed by the Contractor with input from the facility ICRA representative. Contractor shall submit an ICRA permit (Attachment J02) detailing proposed infection control procedures. Work in affected areas of the building shall NOT proceed until the Infection Control permit has been submitted, reviewed, and approved by the facility’s Infection Control Officer.

D. This section specifies the engineering, furnishing and modernization of the complete traction elevator system as described herein.

E. Items listed in the singular apply to each elevator in this specification except where noted.
