Do you need a Qualified Elevator Inspector to watch the load tests being performed by VA personnel or would you need someone to do that actual load test?

Can you provide the type for each elevator needing inspections (i.e. passenger, freight, service, dumb waiter, etc.)? Answer: See Listing Below Can you confirm that the 30-day follow up inspections (if needed) will be billed separately from this proposal estimate since they will require additional time and effort that is not quantifiable now? Answer: No. This contract will include all costs for the inspections and 30-day follow-up. All other expenses, including travel and lodging costs will be the responsibility of awardee.
