INTRODUCTION

West Virginia University (“WVU” or “Owner”) is requesting Proposals to modernize two

(2) traction passenger elevators at the North WVU Health Sciences Center (“HSC”) building located at 64 Medical Center Drive, Morgantown, WV.

Base Price: The Base Price includes but is not limited to the modernization of Passenger Elevator #1. It also includes the construction of a sump pit with pump and associated piping in the elevator shaft. The Base Price will address repairs to the Lobby Frames of both elevators on all floors. The Base Price will include two (2) new HVAC split systems for the machine room. A new card reader will be introduced into elevator 1 to replace the old key switch, allowing for swipe access to the Basement level mechanical room. See paragraph “A” in “Work by Others” for more information on this reader.

Add Alternate #1: Passenger Elevator #2 Modernization

Add Alternate #2: Elevator #1 interior cab finishes and LED lighting

Add Alternate #3: Elevator #2 interior cab finishes and LED lighting

EXISTING CONDITIONS

A. The elevators involved with this project are a series of traction passenger elevators serving the North side of the HSC complex. Elevator #1 travels six (6) floors (B through 4) while elevator #2 travels five (5) floors (G through 4). The pair of elevators are situated side-by-side and share one common shaft. Cab size is approximately 5’-4” Wide x 7’-6” Deep x 7’-10” Height.

The Proposer shall field verify all dimensions. Both elevators have a single motor operated door on one end of the cab approximately 3’-8” Wide x 7’-0” Height.

B. The elevator machine room is located in room 5005 (a penthouse on the 5th floor) that is accessed through the main mechanical room on this level, then out a man door onto the roof, and up a set of exterior stairs. Equipment for the modernization can be taken as far as the fifth-floor mechanical room via service elevator E5. From there it will need man-handled up into the machine room.

C. There is no work to modernize the existing Service Elevator (E5) in this contact.

D. All elevators currently have emergency power to the cab lights. Elevator #1 is on emergency power.

PROPOSER RESPONSIBILITIES

A. The Proposer shall deliver a turn-key project and shall include the work of other trades necessary and incidental to the elevator modernization including but not limited to demolition, electrical, sprinkler, plumbing, HVAC, controls, carpentry, painting, and concrete work. Damage to adjacent surfaces at all levels shall be repaired at the Proposer’s expense.

B. The Proposer shall provide all dumpsters and garbage services necessary for the removal and disposal of the old elevator equipment, construction debris, packaging, etc., necessary for the completion of this project. Dumpster can be staged at the HSC Loading Dock area.

Proposers will need to obtain parking passes for their vehicles during construction.

C. For the protection of patrons and staff, the work area open for construction on each floor shall be cordoned off with a secure temporary partition and dust barrier. Signage shall be posted on the elevator doors at each level indicating the elevator is not in service.

OWNERS RESPONSIBILITIES

A. Prior to construction, the Owner will abate any asbestos floor tile in the elevator cabs and install new floor coverings upon completion.

WORK BY OTHERS

A. Installation of one (1) new card reader is planned for Elevator #1. The Base Price will include coordination work with the University to provide the necessary infrastructure for wireless connectivity at the car and in the shaft. The card reader itself will be purchased and installed by WVU’s Access Contractor. Programming will be a combined effort.

B. There are no cameras immediately planned for either of these elevators, but infrastructure and wiring provisions are to be put in place now for cameras to be added later.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

A. Proposers shall reference the enclosed documents indicating the work areas and design intent. Proposers shall be responsible for familiarization of existing conditions, field measuring and information gathering necessary for the completion of this contract.

B. The selected Proposer shall work with WVU’s representatives and appointed outside parties, which include but not limited to Alpha Associates, Architect; McHenry Associates, Engineer; WVU Health Sciences and WVU Facilities Management; and other contractors/vendors as necessary.

C. Any measurements, dimensions or quantities given are for reference only, Proposer is responsible for material take-off and field dimensions necessary to complete the intended scope of work.

D. Proposers are instructed to submit all questions in writing according to the solicitation documents. Questions will only be answered via addenda to the RFP and will only address written questions. An addendum will be published prior to the due date, to include all questions and clarifications.

E. Any discrepancies between the scope of work herein and industry standards shall be brought to the Owner’s attention prior to providing or installing the work. When conflicts between the two are found the Proposer shall notify the Owner immediately. The decision will be at the Owner’s discretion.

F. It is the Owner’s intent that all work described herein shall be completed in one activity during the allotted work period. Where it becomes necessary for the Proposer to work outside normal work hours to complete the scope of work in the contract time, (i.e., weekends, after-hours, etc.), the Proposer shall do so at no additional costs to the Owner.

G. All work shall be in accordance with industry standards, complying with all applicable codes, and shall be of the highest quality construction practices.

SCHEDULE

A. To complete the work, only one elevator may be taken off-line at a time. The elevator work shall be fully complete, inspected and put back into operation before the other elevator may be taken off-line for work. The Proposer may work relatively unrestricted, but certain noise generating activities (hammering, saw cutting, etc.) will require that work be performed outside the normal operating hours for the building.

B. The goal is to complete the work on all elevators by July 13, 2026. The Proposer shall submit a schedule for each elevator on the project with their Proposal, taking the information below into account. The schedule should indicate durations for the following tasks based on an anticipated NTP date of August 11, 2025. To expedite construction, it’s anticipated some of the MEP work and work in the penthouse could be performed in advance of the new elevator equipment’s arrival.

• NTP: August 11, 2025

• Preparation and delivery of submittals

• Approval of submittals: Allow for two weeks for review and turnaround.

• Fabrication and delivery after submittal approval:

• Installation: (note information below)

• Inspection and Certification:

C. Note: If there is an issue meeting the substantial completion date of July 13, 2026, Proposer must bring this to WVU’s attention immediately upon determination of such issue. Failure to notify WVU of this issue when Contractor knew or should have known of the delay may result in no additional extension of time to complete the work.

D. WVU Student Recess Schedule (though this building will remain occupied during construction):

Summer Recess 2025: May 19 to August 19, 2025

Fall Break 2025: October 9 and 10, 2025

(1) year after the date the elevator is completed and turned over to WVU. During the one

(1) year warranty period, the Proposer shall provide emergency service on a twenty-four

(24) hour basis at no cost to the University. A first response of a qualified University technician shall not void the warranty or relieve the Proposer of any duties or responsibilities. A 1-hour response time shall be required from the Proposer.
