Description
This contract concerns the modernization of the two passenger elevators at Overbrook High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The scope includes removal of existing elevator doors and installation of new doors (same‑day replacement), sequencing work so that Elevator 1 is fully operational before work begins on Elevator 2, maintaining at least one elevator in service at all times, and complying with strict school‑day work conditions (principal coordination, dust containment, uninterrupted life‑safety systems). The project also addresses asbestos and lead‑based paint remediation, with the original VAT removal in the fifth‑floor hallways removed from the scope except when damage occurs during door installation. Manufacturer restrictions now allow only Triad or Wyatt elevators; previous manufacturers (Otis, Schindler, TK Elevator) are excluded. Substitution procedures have moved to Division 1. No budget figures or awardee names are disclosed, and the schedule mandates 335 calendar days for substantial completion and 365 calendar days for final completion from the Notice to Proceed, with no extensions permitted.
• Elevator sequencing and continuous service requirement.
• Revised manufacturer list (Triad, Wyatt only).
• Asbestos remediation scope reduced; same‑day door replacement rule.
