About this file
This is a technical specification (Section 14 21 23) for an electric traction passenger elevator replacement at Fort Randall Dam's powerhouse in South Dakota. The document details requirements for modernizing the existing elevator including replacement of all mechanical and electrical components in the machinery room, installation of a new HVAC unit, and removal of existing equipment that may contain hazardous materials like asbestos and lead paint.
The specification calls for a pre-engineered elevator system with 2,500 lb capacity, 200 feet per minute speed, serving 4 stops over 63 feet of travel. Key requirements include new microprocessor controls, LED lighting, infra-red door protection, emergency communication systems, fall protection anchors, and compliance with current safety codes including ASME A17.1/CSA B44. The contractor must provide a 12-month warranty service period with 24-hour emergency response. The project is being managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District, with an estimated cost between $1-5 million. It is set aside for small businesses under NAICS 238290 with a $22M size standard. Work must be completed within 365 days of Notice to Proceed, with a site visit scheduled for December 12, 2024.
