GAITHERSBURG CAMPUS WIDE ELEVATOR ANNUAL CERTIFICATION INSPECTION

Statement of Work (SOW)

Background

NIST has multiple elevators in multiple buildings across Gaithersburg campus. These elevators, and man lifts, and stairwell lifts all require OSHA required annual inspections. The different types of elevators and their respective weight limits are listed individually in a separate attachment. (see attachment A). We require each one of these items to be inspected for OSHA safety requirements.

These inspections are required IAW Standards-29 CFRR, para 1917.116(e) and ASME A17.2

Objectives The contractor shall arrange to have an inspector onsite to observe work being performed on our elevators ensuring all work meets or exceeds standards IAW Standards-29-CFRR, para 1917.116(e) and ASME A17.2. These inspections will be performed once annually, or as needed in the event of an unplanned outage of service.

Scope The contractor shall provide an inspector to oversee the NIST elevator maintenance staff perform the required annual maintenance as per ASME A17.2 and attest to the safe operability and status of the same elevator, in the form of a required certificate of compliance.

The machines are either Hollister-Whitney for traction or Cemco for hydraulic type.

The controls there are MCE, IMCAC, Motion 2000, 4000, I-box for traction type, and Virginia controls, relay logic, and PLC for hydraulic type.

Tasks The following is a list of tasks necessary to complete the annual inspections:

1. Contact COR at a minimum of one month in advance to schedule annual inspection visit.

2. Work alongside NIST elevator maintenance personnel for the duration of the inspection.

3. Document all inspections, and issue a “Certification of Inspection,” IAW CFR 29, para

1917.116(e). Supply such inspection reports in digital format to the COR NLT 14 days after completion of inspection.

4. Perform full load test of all traction elevators at least once every five years, or prior to putting elevator back into service following a major outage of 30 days or more.

5. Inspection will include all the items outlined in the checklist provided in ASME A17.2.

Requirements

1. The contractor shall provide verification of employment and individual’s GSA inspection certifications, as well as a “current” QEI credential.

2. Contractor shall submit a sample inspection checklist.

3. Contractor shall submit a sample certification of inspection for official review.

PAGE 10 OF 293 1333ND23QNB190204

Deliverables The Contractor shall submit all deliverables to:

Please refer to the following web site for additional Visitor Information http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/visitor/

Automobile & Personnel Access:

Contractor personnel arriving in cars on their first day must check in at the visitor center to receive a temporary paper badge prior to proceeding to the project site. Hours of operation of the visitor center are 0600-1700. Once in possession of a valid NIST badge, workers may enter via the Main Gate (on W Diamond Ave and Bureau Dr) or Gate “C” (on Quince Orchard Rd and Sound Rd) and proceed to the project site. Note that all automobiles are subject to a random inspection.

Trucks: All Trucks are to enter NIST via “C” Gate along Quince Orchard Rd. between 6:00 am and 3:30 pm daily, and at the main gate off of W. Diamond Ave. between 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm.

Trucks arriving through Gate C will be directed to the Building 301 Truck Inspection Station. At Building 301, trucks will be registered, inspected, and the drivers will be granted access. Any truck which exits the installation will have to be re-inspected upon re-entry at Building 301. A vehicle dashboard placard will be placed within the truck. Placards change daily.

As such, all campus projects (buildings, structures and grounds) other than routine maintenance and repair must conform to the Secretary of the Interior’s (SOI) Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.

Most changes to building exteriors and landscapes as well as Changes to certain building interiors and most landscape features are reviewed and approved at various stages by the NIST Architectural Design Review Board (ADRB), and, ultimately by the NIST federal preservation officer.

All designs for proposed additions and changes to facades, rooflines and building silhouettes other than in-kind repairs, must be reviewed and approved by the NIST Architectural Design Review Board (ADRB) and the Maryland Historical Trust (MHT). Project related communications with the MHT are only conducted by the NIST Federal Preservation Officer who may require technical information and graphic support from the design professional The design professional shall coordinate with the NIST COR to schedule any needed presentations to the ADRB and/or the MHT. The Design professional shall provide sufficient time in the project schedule to allow for these design reviews.

Because many of NISTs natural and landscape features have been determined to be character defining features and/or contributory resources to the NIST historic district, the design professional shall coordinate with the NIST NEPA coordinator and the FPO.

Any proposed laydown areas, staging areas and or enclosures related to proposed work need to be reviewed and approved with the NIST Site Selection panel. The design professional shall work through the NIST COR to assure review and approval of any such proposed enclosure or site usage prior to issuing construction documents.

Certain campus locations around the central core because of high traffic and high visibility may require enclosed fencing, such as painted plywood panels on structural framing. The Design Professional shall coordinate with the COR to incorporate the design specifications for such enclosure based upon recommendations from the NIST ADRB.

Building 101 Some ceiling tiles may be considered character defining features of buildings that are contributory to the NIST historic district and as such cannot be removed without first consulting
