IFB-25035 Elevator Replacement at Abbottston Building #050

Baltimore City Public Schools is seeking bids for IFB-25035, a comprehensive elevator replacement project at the Abbottston Building #050. The procurement is a competitively bid invitation for replacing an existing elevator system, with specific technical requirements including a new elevator configuration featuring 3 forward stops and 1 rear stop. The project will require a full-time superintendent and can be completed during normal hours with appropriate temporary barriers. Bidders must submit proposals by January 9, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with a pre-bid meeting having already occurred and documented through multiple addenda. Key deliverables include installing a new elevator system with specific technical components such as emergency phones, BAS interface requirements, and specific condenser mounting locations. Contractors will need to coordinate facility access, implement protection barriers, and adhere to all specified technical specifications outlined in the solicitation documents.

The procurement includes a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) goal of 27%, which includes a 10% Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) sub-goal, indicating a strong commitment to diversity in contracting. The project is locally funded and does not have prevailing wage requirements, which may impact overall project costs. No specific budget range was explicitly stated in the documents, but the project appears to be substantial given the comprehensive elevator replacement scope. The project timeline is dependent on school board procurement approval, which could take between 3-9 months. Notably, door card readers and security work are explicitly excluded from the project scope, and Baltimore City Public Schools will cover elevator phone monitoring subscription costs. The current service contract holder and elevator manufacturer details will be provided to the successful contractor, suggesting potential integration requirements with existing systems.
