Specifications include, but are not limited to:The Stations and Guideways Department has begun a 5-year project, known as the Elevator Refurbishment/Replacement Program (ERP), which will assess needs, manage the design, and replace or refurbish 19 of our oldest elevators at multiple locations that include light rail stations, parking garages, TriMet maintenance facilities, and TriMet offices. Need for project is based, in part, on the Elevator End of Useful Life Audit (March 25, 2013) developed in support of MAP-21 and asset management activities. In this audit, the 24 elevators & 5 material lifts in TriMet’s system at that time were evaluated for actual useful life. The factors considered included age, code status, status of life cycle, required level of maintenance, operation, frequency of use, environmental conditions and use of new technology. Based on that evaluation, 14 elevators were noted as being due for major work in the next 4 years, 4 more are due in 6 years Elevator Refurbishment/Replacement Project RC170018JB 6 and others will be due in 10-15 years. (Elevators that were added to TriMet’s system with recent construction following the report were not included in that evaluation.) The assessment provided preliminary recommendations for the repairs and refurbishment including range of costs for equipment and installation.
