The Town of Billerica is seeking independent consulting and design services to prepare a bid-ready modernization plan for the Senior Center’s hydraulic passenger elevator. - Government buyer: Town of Billerica, Facilities Department (FAC04), Billerica, Massachusetts. - Procurement: Assess the existing elevator and related systems, recommend what to replace or reuse, and prepare manufacturer-neutral drawings, specifications, bid documents, cost estimates, and schedule and downtime estimates. - OEMs and vendors: No elevator OEMs, manufacturers, or vendors are named. Specifications must allow products from at least three independent manufacturers to meet the requirements. - Services: Bidding assistance, technical review of bids and submittals, construction observation, change evaluation, and support through testing, inspections, acceptance, punch-list work, and closeout.

The work must address Massachusetts elevator code (524 CMR), ASME A17.1, and ADA requirements. - Planning budget: The approximately $206,729 figure is a preliminary estimate for the elevator modernization contractor, not an estimate of the consultant contract value and not a figure respondents should rely on.
