About this file

This Addendum 01 document, issued by the Iowa Department of Administrative Services for the Cherokee Mental Health Institute Four Corners Elevator Replacement project (RFB 9527.00-01), provides clarifications and modifications to the original bid specifications for a four-stop hydraulic elevator replacement in Cherokee, Iowa. The project scope encompasses complete demolition and replacement of the existing elevator system with new controllers, motors, hydraulic equipment, hoistway components, car assemblies, signal devices, and integration with building security and fire alarm systems. The addendum addresses key clarifications including confirmation that the existing elevator platform is to be retained, specification that remote elevator monitoring is not required, elimination of hall lanterns from the project scope, and addition of card access for basement-level only connected to existing systems. Bids were due September 29, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., with an anticipated award notification on September 30, 2026, and construction anticipated to commence in October 2026 with substantial completion targeted for August 24, 2027. A pre-bid meeting was held on September 11, 2026, at the Cherokee Mental Health Institute facility.

The project budget was established at $254,543.00 for the base bid with Alternate 1 (Hydraulic Jack Replacement) priced at $287,044.00. Bid packages are structured as follows: BP 01 (General Construction), BP 02 (Elevator Equipment) with an alternate for hydraulic jack replacement and unit pricing for elevator operation and lockout services at $20,000 allowance, BP 03 (Mechanical and Plumbing), and BP 04 (Electrical and Low Voltage), with an optional BP 05 combining BP 01, 03, and 04. Bidders must submit 5% bid security and be registered with the Iowa Labor Commissioner. Acceptable elevator manufacturers identified include Otis Elevator Company, Schindler Elevator Corporation, Schumacher Elevator Company (basis of design), and ThyssenKrupp Elevator. The specification emphasizes non-proprietary control equipment to maintain owner flexibility for future preventative maintenance and requires comprehensive warranty coverage including one year of preventative maintenance and 24-hour emergency callback service with specified response times for entrapments (1 hour) and emergency situations (4 hours). All bids must remain valid for 30 calendar days following the bid due date.

D. Proximity Door Protection Device

1. The passenger car door will be protected with a 36 or more, light-ray device extending to a height of approximately 5’ 0” above the floor. Interruption of one or more of the light rays will prevent the doors from closing or cause them to stop and reopen if they are in the process of closing. The interruption of the light rays will cause the doors to remain open as long as the obstruction is in the path of one or more of the light rays. The doors will start to close shortly after the obstruction is removed.

2. Door Noise: Door noise will be 50 dBA. This includes reversals.

3. Door Control & Closing:

c. A solid state, infrared passenger protection device shall be installed on the car door.

This device provides infrared light beams that create an invisible safety net across the elevator entrance. If these beams strike an object in the middle of the entryway, some of the light is reflected into special photo-diode receivers which scan into the entryway at a nominal 30 degree angle. If the receivers detect enough light, a reversal signal is generated to open the doors. The maximum projection of these 12 additional beams at any time is one-third of the door opening width.

d. If any beam is interrupted, the door-reversal signal will cause the elevator doors to reopen instantly without touching the passenger. After a car stop is made, the door shall remain open for a predetermined interval before closing. If, while the door is closing, the matrix of invisible light beams is interrupted by a passenger entering or leaving the car, the door shall stop and reopen, after which the door shall again start to close.

e. Graceful degradation operation is also included. If one or two isolated beams (up to a maximum of 36 beams) are interrupted, the door-reversal signal will cause the doors to reopen instantly. If the beams remain blocked for more than 80 seconds, the beams are considered permanently blocked.
