Public Elevator Upgrades in Main Courthouse

The contract awards two separate lump‑sum contracts to modernize three public elevators in the Sedgwick County Main Courthouse. Icon Structures, Inc. will handle the general construction, demolition, and staging, while Otis Elevator Company will supply and install the elevator systems. The work must be phased so only one elevator is out of service at a time, comply with ADA 2010 standards, Kansas building codes, and ASME A17.1/CSA B44, and include new emergency‑generator‑compatible power, fire‑stop sealing, and a stainless‑steel interior finish. The contracts are fixed‑price, with Icon’s total $1.27 M and Otis’s $1.79 M, and require a 5 % bid bond and performance bonds. The project timeline ranges from 365 days (Icon) to 680 days (Otis) from award to final completion. The procurement was a full and open competition, with 158 vendors invited and only two bidders ultimately receiving awards. The County emphasizes Kansas‑based minority and small‑business participation, but no formal set‑aside was applied.
