Detailed Scope of Service

A. Elevators

Make a detailed survey of each elevator to determine the type of systems installed, equipment condition, performance, remaining useful life of the components and estimate of probable costs of repairs, code deficiencies and major modernization requirements.

1.	Elevator Equipment Information: Document pertinent data such as type, operation, control, capacity and speed of equipment, floors served, stops and openings, manufacturer, maintenance contractor, date of installation, modernization date (if applicable), and special features installed.
2.	Elevator Performance: Review the performance for all elevators to determine if the operation is equal to the original design criteria for that generation of equipment. Record individual car and door performance to measure the existing conditions as compared to industry or the original design standards.
3.	Elevator Machine Room: Review all elevator machine room equipment including, but not limited to, hoist machine, hoist motors, controllers, power conversion units, motor generators, governors, hoist ropes and all related elevator equipment. For hydraulic elevators, review all elevator machine room equipment including controllers, power units, piping and all related elevator equipment.
4.	Elevator Hoistway: Review all elevator hoistway equipment including, but not limited to, hoistway doors, hangers, tracks, gibs, interlocks, guide rails, brackets, car top equipment such as roller guides, door operators, hoistway leveling devices and all related hoistway equipment.
5.	Elevator Pit: Review all elevator pit equipment including, but not limited to, buffers, switches, tail sheaves, compensation, stop switches and all related elevator equipment. For hydraulic elevators, review all elevator pit equipment including cylinder/plunger units, buffers, stop switches, piping, pit valves and all related elevator pit equipment.
6.	Elevator Car Equipment and Fixtures: Review all elevator car equipment including, but not limited to, elevator car fixtures, communication equipment, lighting, safe edges, photo rays or other types of door protection, car door gibs, door operation and handrails. Also review all hall fixtures such as push buttons, hall lanterns, Braille and related equipment and features.
7.	Supervisory Control System: Where applicable, observe the operation of the supervisory control system for each group of elevators to determine if it is performing to design criteria in dispatching the elevators in an efficient manner.
8.	Maintenance Records: Study all available maintenance records to determine if there are excessive call backs and if caused by the lack of preventative maintenance.
9.	Disabled Access Compliance: Review and identify deficiencies of the requirements for compliance with the American Disabilities Act (ADA) and local applicable codes.
10.	Traffic Analysis: Upon request, conduct theoretical computer analysisbased upon existing building population, traffic flow and achievable performance of existing elevator systems. Report on systems ability to provide acceptable service within industry standard criteria for the location and type of facility. Client shall provide building populations to consultant.

B. Escalators

Make a detailed survey of each escalator to determine equipment condition, performance, proper operation, cleanliness and current level of service. NOTE: Proposal is contingent upon the present maintenance contractor disassembling and reassembling escalators as needed for our survey. The cost for this work is not included in this proposal but is generally provided by the elevator maintenance contractor at no additional charge to the Owner.

1.	Escalator Equipment Information: Document pertinent data including, but not limited to, type, width of handrail and steps, speed, landings served, direction of travel, manufacturer, maintenance contractor, date of installation, modernization date (if applicable), and special features installed, if any.
2.	Escalator Performance and Operation: Review the performance of the escalators to determine if the operation is equal to the original design criteria for that generation of equipment. Record individual performance and operation to measure the existing conditions as compared to industry or original design standards.
3.	Escalator Interior Areas: Review the interior areas of the escalators including, but not limited to, machine, drive motor, bull gear, brake, control panel, handrail drive unit, truss area, tracks, step rollers, step chain and all related escalator equipment.
4.	Escalator Exterior Areas: Review the exterior areas of the escalator including, but not limited to, newels, steps, landing plates, comb plates, handrails, skirts, decking, balustrades and all related escalator equipment.
5.	Maintenance Records: Study all available maintenance records to determine if there are excessive call backs and if caused by the lack of preventative maintenance.

C. Written Report

Provide a written evaluation to be submitted upon completion of the equipment survey. The report shall contain the following information:

1.	Purpose and Objectives: Recap of survey purpose, site location, address and type and number of equipment surveyed.
2.	Executive Summary: General conclusions drawn from survey including maintenance contractor's performance, remaining useful life of equipment, recommendations and cost estimates for upgrade, modernization and code deficiencies (if any).
3.	Systems Description: Summary of equipment.
4.	Estimated Remaining Useful Life: Life expectancy of major components based on availability of parts and quality of maintenance.
5.	Related Building Conditions: Brief assessment of general building conditions as they may effect the elevator systems and related codes.
6.	Maintenance Evaluation: Comment on the quality of performance by the current elevator maintenance contractor. Comment on deficiencies noted during the survey. NOTE: Based on a full maintenance agreement, these items are to be completed at no charge by the elevator maintenance contractor.
7.	Emergency Features: Document the operation of the equipment under emergency condition.
8.	Special Features: Identify any special features that may be observed.
9.	Estimate of Probable Costs: Provide a cost matrix outlining estimated costs to correct applicable code deficiencies, repair or modernize equipment that may be incurred within one year, five years and ten years.
10.	Field Survey Data: Incorporate field survey forms into the written report that addresses each major component of the vertical transportation system and identifies the equipment condition, deficiencies and remaining useful life.

Insurance and Liability

1.	For the term of the agreement, consultant shall maintain statutory workmen's compensation insurance coverage, comprehensive general liability insurance coverage with bodily injury limits and property damage limits of $1,000,000 each occurrence and in the aggregate.
2.
