TO: Mayor Robert J. O'Connor
FROM: Jim Birchall, Superintendent of Central Services
DATE: March 2, 2017
SUBJECT:
Request to accept Suburban Elevators responsible proposal to update the controls in both Stolp Island Elevators in the amount of $87,000 ($43,500 per elevator).
PURPOSE:
Updating the controls will provide safe and reliable elevators in the parking garage for the citizens of Aurora and people who come to the downtown.
BACKGROUND:
The Stolp Island Elevators have been unreliable and have had the fire department respond multiple times for people being stuck in the elevators. The controls are the original existing controls from when the Stolp Island Parking Garage was built. They are out dated and badly need to be replaced ASAP. Last year we did the hydraulic end, including replacing all of the door hardware on both elevators.
DISCUSSION:
Both Stolp Island Elevators are currently under a maintenance contract with Suburban Elevator. We would recommend that this proposal be awarded to Suburban Elevator to not void the existing contract. If the decision was made to go with another company to update the controls it will void the warranty on the work since Suburban would be the company maintaining it.
Suburban Elevator once awarded the contract will complete the following:
Furnish and install new microprocessor controller.
Furnish and install new tape selector.
Furnish and install new hall buttons.
Furnish and install new car station with emergency phone and light.
Furnish and install new limit switches.
Furnish and install new inspection station.
Furnish and install new car top hatch switch.
Furnish and install new traveling cable and wiring throughout.
Furnish and install car light disconnect switches.
Full load test on elevator, inspect and return to service.
Suburban Elevator will provide all the above mentioned work, labor and material for the cost of $87,000 ($43,500 per elevator). The funds for the total amount of $87,000 is located...
