Clemson University is seeking a five-year-maximum contract for campus-wide elevator maintenance and related monitoring, repair, and modernization work. - Buyer: Clemson University; the procurement covers its campus elevators and lifts in Clemson, South Carolina. - Scope: Comprehensive maintenance for approximately 170 elevators and lifts, including passenger and freight elevators and handicapped and mechanical lifts. Work includes preventive maintenance, inspections, testing, cleaning, adjustment, repairs, parts replacement, records, and emergency callbacks. - OEMs and equipment manufacturers named: MAD (MosaicONE equipment and software), Schindler, TKE, Thyssen, Southeastern, KONE, Otis, and Dover. These names identify monitoring technology or existing equipment in the campus inventory; the listed elevator manufacturers are not specified as exclusive maintenance providers. - Required monitoring: Applicable camera, text-based, two-way communication, and monitoring work must use MAD MosaicONE equipment and software compatible with Clemson’s existing environment. No alternate/equal system is allowed for that scope. Monitoring is priced per elevator per month, evaluated on 40 elevators for 12 months. - Maintenance staffing and response: At least two dedicated, trained mechanics on campus during regular working hours, with 24/7 emergency callback coverage. - Additional labor and parts: Separate regular-time and overtime rates for mechanics and helpers; evaluation quantities are 80 regular-time hours and 100 overtime hours for each labor category. Include mileage to Clemson. Price a single not-to-exceed markup for eligible repair and replacement parts; the $50,000 evaluation allowance is not a guaranteed purchase. - Six one-each project evaluation scenarios: Hydraulic renewal, renovation, and modernization for a three-stop passenger elevator, and traction renewal, renovation, and modernization for a six-stop passenger elevator. These are pricing scenarios, not guaranteed future orders. - Hydraulic scenarios cover targeted renewal through complete modernization, with components such as controllers, hydraulic power units, positioning systems, wiring, fixtures, door equipment, and cab finishes varying by scope; some existing hydraulic equipment is retained in renewal and renovation. - Traction scenarios cover targeted renewal through complete modernization, with scopes including ropes, positioning systems, governors, wiring, fixtures, and door equipment; the renovation and modernization scenarios include VVVF controls, while the modernization also replaces the traction machine and hoist motor. - Applicable project scopes include MAD MosaicONE integration, startup, adjustment, testing, inspection support, and applicable ASME A17.1-2019 code work. Clemson provides cab flooring if needed for the specified renovation and modernization scenarios. - Part numbers: No product part numbers are specified. The project scenarios and labor/monitoring entries are service requirements rather than catalogued products.
