Description
The solicitation seeks a qualified contractor or technician to inspect, diagnose, and repair the carcass rail elevation lift system at the St. Croix Abattoir. The system lowers during operation rather than maintaining its selected working height, raising operational and potential safety concerns. Work includes examining applicable electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic or pneumatic components; repairing or replacing malfunctioning parts; testing the system; and providing recommendations for further repairs or replacement. The contractor must also provide a preventive maintenance schedule, and on-site visits are welcomed and recommended before bidding.
