This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-66, effective April 1, 2013.

Background: Building 1, A-Wing elevators Type B drum safeties had five units fail during the 5-Year testing in January 2012. In an effort to bring these units into compliance with ANSI A-17 Code, recalibration of all safeties was attempted by Schumacher Elevator Company. The wear from 50+ years of testing has worn the jaws to a level beyond the minimum safety requirements called for by code. The area of greatest concern is based on the following code reference: ANSI A17.1: CODE 2.17.11, page 70. "Drum-operated car and counterweight safeties, requiring continual unwinding of the safety drum rope to fully apply the safety, shall be so designed that not less than three turns of the safety rope will remain on the drum after the over speed test of the safety has been made with rated load in the car." The five A-Bank Elevators listed below do not meet the ANSI A17.1: CODE 2.17.11; therefore, the safeties must be replaced.
