Repair/Service Schindler Elevators – High School

The West Orange Board of Education issued a competitive sealed‑bid solicitation (Bid No. 25‑02) for repair and service of the district’s Schindler‑brand elevators at the high‑school facility for the 2025‑2026 school year. The bid package required sealed paper submissions, non‑collusion affidavits, and corporate stockholder disclosures. An addendum could be obtained July 8 2025, and bids were due July 15 2025 at 9:15 AM, with opening occurring immediately thereafter. No vendors submitted proposals, resulting in no award being made. This indicates a potential market gap for elevator maintenance providers in the West Orange school district. • Scope: Ongoing repair and preventive maintenance of Schindler elevators at a high‑school campus. • Procurement method: Competitive sealed‑bid under New Jersey statutes, full and open competition. • Outcome: Zero bids received; contract remains unawarded, likely to be re‑sought or revised.
