ERDC ELEVATOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
*Noted Elevator Maintenance Discrepancy on System #3 Kone
Question
1. The last 5-year test was done in 2010 for System-3 (Kone EcoSpace) or B-3270 (ELHQ) and is currently 8 years overdue. The elevator will need to be weight tested to check elevator brakes, governor, and safeties. All safety switches, limits, door switches, and all other code compliant devices will also be checked during testing procedure.
Hydraulic Units Rupture Valve Test – On each unit that is equipped with a rupture valve, it will require a full load test. Test weights will be put on the elevator, the unit is to be ran greater than contract speed in the down direction in order to set the valve and ensure it will stop the elevator while also holding the capacity. The state of Mississippi has adopted the 2019 elevator code and this test is required on all rupture valves every 5 years. The valves have to be tagged with proper identification showing the test dates per 2019 code.
a. Response: The 5-year test is required; all bids should be submitted accordingly.
Once the contract is awarded, we will not entertain any additional quote/proposal for this specific issue.
Question
1. It is not mandatory in the State of Mississippi that the test be witnessed by an elevator inspection service. Due to the language of the bid documents, we are including the inspection fees in our proposal for witnessed testing on all these units. If you decide that you would like another proposal without the inspection fees included, please contact us so we can revise pricing.
1. Response: Even though we are the federal government, we are adhering to the State of MS mandates and requiring the elevator inspections per their statutes.
Question
1. If a contractor is awarded the contract, do the 5-year test, and then find other issues that were preexisting they would do that separately at that time, using the guaranteed labor rates for straight rate labor per hour, included in the maintenance proposal.
2. Response: We should wait and see if this ever comes to pass. The elevator has had regular maintenance from a Kone technician and has been in service for a while now without any major issues.
