The contract requires the contractor to inspect, maintain, repair, test, and clean all elevators and escalator equipment for assigned groups, accepting existing equipment "as is" with obsolescence not recognized as an exclusion.
The contractor must maintain elevators in unimpaired condition above the point where deterioration begins, using qualified elevator mechanics and supervisory personnel available 7 days per week, 24 hours per day for emergency response. Scheduled maintenance occurs during normal working hours (6:00 AM to 6:00 PM) unless otherwise approved. All work must comply with the latest ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. The contractor shall respond to service calls with arrival times specified in exhibits, complete repairs within 24 hours of notification, and respond to entrapments within one hour (preferably 30 minutes). Subcontracting is limited to 10 percent of units and requires written Contracting Officer approval. The contractor must establish and submit a comprehensive quality control program within 30 days of award, maintain required documentation including maintenance control plans, fire service logs, and repair records in hard copy format, and conduct monthly preventive maintenance. Performance standards include no more than one callback per elevator per quarter with level or decreasing service call trends. The contractor is responsible for emergency communication devices, all machine room and hoistway lighting, and must maintain housekeeping standards including painted machine rooms and pit floors. The Government reserves the right to withhold payment for equipment outages exceeding five consecutive days, inspection violations uncorrected within 30 days, and performance deficiencies, with deductions calculated on a quarterly KPI basis (0-5% withholding depending on performance scoring).

13. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM
A. General: The procedures established in this plan will ensure that occupant agencies and GSA receive the services paid for and specified in this contract. In order to have an effective contract administration program, all Government employees involved in contract administration must work as a team. Close coordination and active cooperation on a daily basis between the contractors and those representing the CO are necessary to obtain well-maintained vertical transportation systems.
B. Partnering: The Government intends to encourage the foundation of a cohesive partnership between the contractors and GSA personnel. The partnership will be structured to draw on the strengths of each organization to identify and achieve reciprocal goals. The objectives of partnering are effective and efficient contract performance, customer-focused service, and compliance with the contract documents. To this effort, a 1-day Semi-Annual partnering meeting will be held and key personnel from each party shall attend. The initial team building workshop will culminate in the development and establishment of a mutually satisfactory set of goals and objective beneficial to all team members, with the semi-annual meeting addressing the assessment of the contractor’s performance against the contract and to reinforce partnering principles.
C. Effectiveness of the Quality Control: The Quality Assurance Plan shall be derived from reviewing reports required from each contractor, customer feedback, and from GSA QEI elevator inspector inspection reports. Each elevator shall be inspected by a commercial or a GSA QEI elevator inspector at a minimum of Semi-annually. In the event that contractor performance is less than satisfactory, the Government may contract for services to be performed by others. In this instance, all costs incurred, including administrative costs, shall be charged back to the contractor. Random sampling shall be conducted to ensure compliance with the QC Plan (i.e., QC Meetings, annual reporting, field audits, environmental protection, responsiveness to deficiencies, etc.).
D. Occupant Complaint Program: Information obtained through this program will be considered in evaluating the contractor’s performance. The GSA zonal elevator inspector will serve as a means of assisting in documenting certain kinds of service problems and the determination of their overall impact.
14. FEDERAL HOLIDAYS
“Federal holidays” for the purposes of this contract are New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans’ Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

This documentation shall come from the GSA QEI. The deduction shall be determined on a daily rate calculated by dividing the number of piece(s) of equipment (including elevators and escalators) into the monthly price and further divided by the number of calendar days in the respective month(s). This daily rate shall then be multiplied by the number of calendar days the equipment was not in service. The number of days shall be computed from the first day after the fifth consecutive calendar day after notification through the last day prior to service being restored.
Reporting shall include documents required by this contract to include but not limited to, semi annual audit reports, Inspection reports, entrapment reports, and quarterly meeting reports. This also includes hard copies of MCPs in each machine room that are specific to the equipment installed, as required by the A17.1 code.
KPI categories. Measured and Scored Quarterly for each location. Deductions will be taken according to points assigned.
Category KPI Points
Maintenance Visits and Maintenance Records missed more than 1 month/6months
Callback more than 1 call per elevator per quarter
Inspection Violations Violations not corrected within 30 days
Inspection Failure (Red Tag) Days out of service due to shut down at time of inspection (30 days) (Red Tag)
Extended Out of Service Time over 5 days that’s not pre-approved
Score 4-5, withhold 0% 2-3, Withhold 2.5% 0-1, withhold 5% KPIs will be totaled on a quarterly basis
