CHFA currently has two hydraulic elevators installed by Baystate Elevator company in 1985, previously an authorized agent for Dover Elevator Company. The control system, underground jack and piping, door equipment and car and hall fixtures and wring are original Dover 1985 OEM equipment. The Dover OEM Roto-flow hydraulic power units were replaced in 2018 with thirdparty supplied MEI power units with Siemens solid state start units. CHFA is requesting proposals from qualified State of Connecticut licensed elevator contractors to modernize CHFA’s traditional hydraulic elevators. A recent study of the existing elevator shafts shows insufficient space to accept a non-hydraulic traction elevator modernization. More specifically, CHFA requests the following: Modernization of Two (2) passenger elevators, cars 1-2 including, but not limited to, the following new systems and components: a. Hydraulic Power Units b. Hydraulic Jack Assemblies c. Operational Controls d. Group Dispatching Systems e. Door Operating Equipment f. Signal Fixtures g. Car Interior Finishes
