About this file
This solicitation is for a freight elevator modernization project at the Whipple Federal Building in Fort Snelling, Minnesota. The General Services Administration seeks to refurbish and upgrade freight elevator number seven and all associated work. The project scope includes bringing the elevator into full compliance with ASME A17.1 standards as well as new International Building Code, National Fire Protection Association, and National Electrical Code requirements. Offerors must complete the on-site work within ninety calendar days of receiving the notice to proceed. The estimated value of the project is between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
