PURPOSE:
City Council is requested to approve the contract from Otis Elevator Company to modernize the elevators at the Bellemeade Street Parking Deck North Elevators.
BACKGROUND:
The Bellemeade Street Parking Deck has four elevators for visitors and staff to use. Two elevators service the West side of the deck while the other two service the North side. Due to aging technology, elevator downtime has increased and replacement parts have become more difficult to obtain. The cab operating systems for all four elevators need to be upgraded with newer equipment which will extend their use for years and minimize non-operating times.
Through the National IPA procurement program, Otis Elevator Company secured the maintenance and modernization of elevators contract. The City of Greensboro’s Purchasing Division recognizes this National IPA and Otis’ contract. The West side elevators are being modernized using 2014/2015 fiscal year funding.
To modernize the North side elevators and update to meet today’s code requirements for the mechanical, electrical, and Fire Alarm systems, Otis Elevator Company has supplied a proposal of $441,215.
Otis submitted a bid for the modernization of the North elevators in the amount of $441,215 with 19% WBE participation for the electrical, mechanical, and fire alarm system work.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funding for this contract will be budgeted in the Parking Facilities Operating Fund, account number 543-4533-01.5621. A budget adjustment is required to move funding to this account.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Greensboro Department of Transportation recommends and requests awarding the contract for the modernization of the Bellemeade Street Parking Deck North Elevators to Otis Elevator Company in the amount of $441,215 and approving the associated budget adjustment.
COMMITTEE ACTION: This item was referred to Council by the Infrastructure Committee.
