- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology is conducting research in cooperation with several private and public entities intended to establish the technical basis for codes and standards related to protected elevators that can be safely used during fires and other emergencies for fire service access, occupant egress, and evacuation of people with disabilities. This work builds on research conducted by NIST in cooperation with many of the same entities in the 1980's and early 1990's that addressed some of the important issues and which led to limited acceptance of protected elevators in some codes. The work also requires the application of specific expertise in the area of smoke management to issues that have been raised in the building codes regarding the spread of smoke in fires through elevator hoistways and the possible need for lobbies to limit the spread of smoke by this means. The objectives of this Statement of Work are to apply world-class expertise to the collection, review, analysis, and interpretation of existing data and practices, and to the development of recommendations for changes to codes, standards, and practices that would result in safe and reliable elevator systems for the uses identified. Details of this requirement will be provided in the solicitation. The Government anticipates the award of a commercial Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order for a period of thirteen (13) months to begin on or about March 3, 2003 through April 2, 2004. It is anticipated that a single solicitation will be issued on or about February 5, 2003 at www.fedbizopps.gov. The solicitation, all amendments and any questions and answers to the solicitation will be posted to FEDBIZOPPS and are totally the responsibility of the Offeror. No mailing lists will be kept and no hard copy of the RFQ will be available.
