Description

Iowa State University of Science and Technology (ISU) is seeking qualified contractors to perform annual permit inspections of freight and passenger elevators, dumb‑waiters, and chair lifts across its campus. Inspections must be completed between January 2 and May 31 each year, divided into four groups to allow staged repairs. Contractors must be licensed in Iowa, provide QEI certification, and cannot subcontract the work. Reports are due within five business days of each inspection and must be filed with the Iowa Work Force and ISU. Additional inspections may be required after repairs, and pricing for those must be included. The contract includes responsibilities for key/card access, vendor parking permits, and compliance with safety and building regulations. ISU will pay for the state‑issued elevator operating permits; all other costs (travel, mileage, parking, etc.) are included in the inspection fee. Invoices are to be submitted monthly with detailed itemization.

Budget estimate

$150,000 – $300,000

The RFP does not disclose a contract value. Based on typical university elevator inspection contracts covering dozens of freight and passenger elevators, dumb‑waiters, and chair lifts, annual fees generally range from $150,000 to $300,000, depending on the number of units, travel distances between buildings, and any required re‑inspections or supplemental visits. Larger campuses with many elevators push the high end; smaller inventories stay near the low end.
