Crabbe Library Elevator Upgrade

The project consists of a comprehensive modernization of the two hydraulic passenger elevators serving the Crabbe Library at Eastern Kentucky University. The contractor must supply all labor, materials, equipment, and related services to replace elevator hardware, cab interiors, control panels, car‑door systems, pump units, and associated building‑system upgrades, while meeting Kentucky Building Code and ASME A17.1‑2010 standards. The work must be completed within a tight schedule (120 days to substantial completion, 135 days to final completion) and includes substantial liquidated‑damage penalties for overruns. Key requirements include bid and performance bonds, insurance, a 12‑month warranty on installed equipment, and strict safety, environmental, and documentation protocols. • Replace and upgrade two in‑ground hydraulic elevators (cabs, doors, panels, lighting, controls). • Install new pump units, flooring, and integrate HVAC, electrical, fire‑alarm, and security‑camera cabling. • Provide all required documentation (as‑built drawings, O&M manuals, warranties) and comply with EKU’s safety, insurance, and bonding requirements. • Meet a firm‑fixed‑price budget (engineer’s estimate $500 k) with no extensions beyond the 135‑day final completion deadline.
