Description
UQAM is seeking bids to replace the end-of-life elevating platform serving the Galerie UQAM in Pavilion J, transporting materials and artworks between the gallery’s upper and lower levels. The work includes specialized vertical-transportation installation, interlocks and controls, testing, and an operating and maintenance plan, along with architectural demolition and construction, surface repairs, a fenced enclosure, door modifications, and a new stair.
