Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) is seeking construction services to modernize two elevators at its René-Lévesque residences. - Government buyer: Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM); the work is at the Résidences universitaires René-Lévesque pavilion. - Requested work: Renovate and modernize elevators RL1 and RL2, including upgrades to the existing JTR controllers, code updates for emergency operation and accessibility signaling, cabin finish improvements, and related demolition, protection, repairs, and reinstatement. - Equipment and vendors: JTR is identified as the existing controller equipment reference; no specific OEM, manufacturer, or vendor is named. - Important site requirements: The building will remain occupied.
