The project involves the comprehensive modernization of two south-side passenger elevators serving the basement and 10 floors of City Hall located at 255 W Alameda Street. The work encompasses replacement of critical components including machines, controllers, car enclosures, hall and car signals, communication systems, and emergency features while maintaining the existing elevator capacity of 2,500 lbs and contract speed of 400 fpm.
