Food Service Elevator Replacement

Woodward, Iowa

Date: February 13th, 2026

Project: 9504.00 Food Service Elevator Replacement

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FROM THE PRE-PROPOSAL MEETING:

Q1.) Will we receive drawings of the previous projects at this facility?

A1.) Please refer to note 1.3.6 in the RFP regarding drawing availability.

Q2.) Are there any items in the hoist way that will need to be removed with the project?

A2.) This is unknown and will need to be determined during design investigation.

Q3.) Is there a sprinkler system in the building and does that need to be upgraded with this project?

A3.) There is a limited sprinkler system in a portion of the basement, and there is not a sprinkler system on the main level. It is not expected that any sprinkler work will be included in this design.

Q4.) Are any modifications to the fire alarm system needed?

A4.) Any modification to the fire alarm that is needed to meet code should be included.

Q5.) Are passengers allowed in the elevator now and do you want them to be allowed in the replacement elevator?

A5.) Passengers are not allowed now. They may be allowed in the future replacement elevator only if there is no additional related cost.

Q6.) Per the RFP, under 1.4 it states there is an attachment of an Elevator study by ATIS consulting. I am not seeing that posted. Is that available?

A6.) The Elevator study was very limited and was included as page 6 of the RFP.

Q7.) In the elevator machine room, do the controller, remote elevator monitoring, and emergency fire service items require replacement or installation?

A7.) This will need to be evaluated and determined by the design team during investigation.

Q8.) In the elevator, will controllers, controls, buttons, and indicators need replaced?
