The proposed requirement is for the spare parts supply and emergency servicing/repair of Kone and Otis Elevator for Hoover Dam, Boulder City, NV 89005.

Kone Elevator Spare Parts and Repair

Hoover Dam Visitor Center has 4 Electric Traction Type Elevators, 3 Hydraulic Elevators, as well as 2 Escalators.

The 4 Electric Traction Type Elevators in the Visitor Center have Kone Mirprom 21 Controllers as well as the hydraulic elevators and escalators.

The Elevator Shop in the Hoover Dam Maintenance Group has several Journeyman Electricians who perform routine general maintenance, repairs, & troubleshooting on this equipment. Occasionally the need arises for the purchase of parts to repair elevators that are critical to power plant employees, general public, as well as contract personnel.

The help of certified elevator technicians is required for larger or emergent jobs due to the nature of their experience, tools, & materials required. Large-scale emergency repair work on the Visitor Center Kone Elevators must be completed by qualified Kone Elevator Mechanics.

This is critical to ensure the highest quality of maintenance and lowers the risk of future malfunctions.

Otis Elevator Spare Parts and Repair

Hoover Dam Power Plant has 6 Electric Traction Type Elevators

The 6 Electric Traction Type Elevators in the Power Plant are Otis Elevonic type 401 Elevators.

Occasionally the need arises for the purchase of parts/emergency services to repair elevators that are critical to power plant employees, general public, as well as contract personnel.

For the Otis elevators, only certified Otis parts purchased through Unitec Parts Co. will be used in the elevators in the Visitor Center. Unitec Parts Co. is the only factory authorized dealer for parts for these elevators. Using sub-standard parts or aftermarket parts can greatly impact the reliability of the elevators for public and employee usage.
