Section 7.0 Bid Specifications: continued
Entrance Field Paint:
• Clean all surfaces to remove dirt and grease.
• Sand and finish surfaces as necessary to remove pits and scratches and prepare the
surface for painting.
• Apply filler to ensure a smooth surface; sand and apply one coat of electrostatic enamel
in the selected solid color.
• Refinishing of natural metals: Remove existing protective finish. Buff as necessary to
remove scratches. Regrain or finish as specified and protect as indicated for the
particular metal type.
• Entrance Support Equipment within Hoistway: Include strut angles, headers, sill support
angles, fascia, hanger covers, etc.
• Clean, remove, and check for corrosive activity. Replace components that exhibit severe
deterioration.
• Tighten all fastenings.
Performance and Operation
• Car Speed: Allowable variance from contract speed of no more than +/- 10% in
the up direction and +/-10% in the down direction under any loading
condition.
• Car Capacity: Safely lower, stop, and hold the rated load.
• Car Stopping Zone: ±3/8" under any loading condition.
• Door Times: Seconds from start to fully open or fully closed:
• Cars #1 and #2: Door Open: 2.1 seconds. Door Close: 4.1 seconds.
• Car Floor-to-Floor Performance Time: Seconds from the start of doors closing
until doors are 3/4 open for center-opening doors or 1/2 open for side-
opening doors, and the car is level and stopped at the next successive floor
under any loading condition or travel direction:
• Cars #1 and #2: 17.3 seconds (= or – 10%). Floor Height: 13’-5” between floors
1 and 2.
Noise and Vibration Control:
• Airborne Noise:
• The measured noise level of elevator equipment and its operation shall not
exceed 60 dBA inside the car under any condition, including door operation
and car ventilation exhaust blower on its highest speed.
• Limit noise level in the machine room and control space relating to elevator
equipment and its operation to no more than 80 dBA.
• All dBA readings to be taken 3'-0" off the floor and 3'-0" from the equipment
using the “A” weighted scale.
• Vibration Control: Mechanically isolate all new elevator equipment from the
building structure and other components. Minimize objectionable noise and
vibration transmission to occupied areas of the building.Bid Event #145SP - Page 15 of 28

Elevator Operation Requirements
• General:
• Cars automatically slow down and stop level at floors in response to car and
landing calls, with stops made in sequence in the established direction of
travel, regardless of order in which buttons are pressed.
• Landing calls are canceled when the assigned car arrives at the landing.
• Automatic Dispatch Failure: Provide auxiliary dispatch system to automatically
dispatch elevators in the event of failure of the primary control system.
• Hall Call Button Failure: Should failure of hall call button system occur, initiate
operation providing predetermined service to all landings; elevators respond
normally to car calls.
• Automatic Leveling:
• When arriving at a floor cars level to within 1/8” above or below the landing
sill prior to opening doors, without travelling past the landing during leveling
• Maintain leveling accuracy regardless of carload, direction of travel, rope
slippage, or stretch.
Door Operation:
Passenger Elevators:
• Automatically open doors when car arrives at a floor.
• Stop and reopen doors or hold doors in open position upon activation of “door
open” button.
• At expiration of normal dwell time, or upon activation of “door close” button,
close doors:
• Prevent doors from closing and reverse doors at normal opening speed if door
reopening device beams are obstructed while doors are closing, except during
nudging operation.
• In event of door reopening device failure, provide for automatic shutdown of
car at floor level with doors open
• Close cycle does not begin upon activation of “door close” button until normal
door dwell time for a car or hall call has expired, except firefighters’ operation.
• Nudging Operation:
• After beams of door reopening device are obstructed for a predetermined
time interval (minimum 20.0-25.0 seconds), sound warning signal, and attempt
to close doors with maximum of 2.5 foot-pounds kinetic energy.
• Activation of the door open button overrides nudging operation and reopens
doors.
• Interrupted Beam Time:
• When beams are interrupted during initial door opening, hold door open a
minimum of 3.0 seconds.Bid Event #145SP - Page 16 of 28
Section 7.0 Bid Specifications: continued
• When beams are interrupted after the initial 3.0 second hold open time,
reduce time doors remain open to an adjustable time of approximately 1.0 1.5
seconds after beams are reestablished.
• Differential Door Time:
• Field adjustable time that doors remain open after stopping in response to
calls.
• Car Call: Hold open time adjustable between 3.0 and 5.0 seconds.
• Hall Call: Hold open time adjustable between 5.0 and 8.0 seconds.
• Use hall call time when car responds to coincidental calls.
• Reopen doors when car is designated for loading.
• Independent Service.
• When feature is activated from within the car allow control of car only from
buttons and controls inside the car.
• Close doors by constant pressure on desired destination floor button or door
close button.
• Selective Collective Operation, Single Cars, Car(s) #1 and #2:
• Elevators operate via momentary pressure buttons to:
• Place hall call by selecting direction of travel at each hall landing (up and down
buttons at each intermediate landing, single buttons at each terminal landing).
• Place car call by selecting destination floor from inside the car (individual
buttons for each floor served).
• Hall calls, other than calls placed at the landing at which car is standing, start
car, and cause the car to stop at first landing for which a call is registered in
the direction of travel.
• Stops are made in order in which landings are reached, irrespective of
sequence in which calls are registered.
• Parked Car (No Demand):
• When feature is enabled, elevator remains at landing of last assignment (if no
further demand) with doors closed, for a predetermined amount of time
(programmable for any amount of time). Upon expiration of time, the elevator
returns to the main egress landing with the doors closed.
• If feature is disabled, if no further demand, the elevator remains at landing of
last assignment with the doors closed until
