SOW Opera House Retrofit Upgrade.pdf

This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the Opera House Pit Lift Retrofit and Upgrade Project at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. The project involves upgrading and retrofitting the automation control and electro-mechanical systems in the Kennedy Center Opera House, with a phased implementation approach scheduled for completion by December 2024.

The SOW outlines three major phases: Base Bid (Phase 1) includes replacing the pit lift main control system and upgrading from Navigator to Atlas automation system, along with integrating the main curtain and fire door controls. Option 2 involves upgrading orchestra lift door locks and installing new safety interlock systems. Option 3 covers pit motor upgrades and lighting bridge modernization, including installation of Marathon 60HP and 40HP Blue Max 2000 motors. The contractor must conduct work between March 30-April 21, 2025 for pit upgrades when the Opera House is closed, with other work phased around performances. Key requirements include pre-bid site walks, field verification, permits and outages coordination with the COR, and adherence to Kennedy Center Building Code Policy. Regular operating hours are 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, with all disruptive work to be performed outside these hours. The contractor must obtain Kennedy Center badges and follow strict security protocols for access.
