DESCRIPTION

The government authority located in Crabbe, Kentucky is seeking a vendor to upgrade the library elevator system. The scope of work includes replacing the existing elevator controllers with new non-proprietary controllers and installing updated landing systems. The project also covers the replacement of the pump unit with a battery lowering mechanism, requiring installation of new submersible pump units, tanks, valves, motors, mufflers, and pumps, as well as the supply of appropriate hydraulic oil (bio-oil will not be accepted).

Further, the vendor will need to install new stainless-steel car operating panels featuring emergency lighting and digital position indicators. New brushed stainless-steel hall door panels are also to be installed at each landing, improving both the durability and aesthetics of the elevator system. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for May 7, 2026, and all questions regarding the RFP must be submitted by May 12, 2026.
