The Ohio State University is seeking qualifications from interested Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) teams to complete the renovation / modernization of the OSU East Tower elevators 4-7. Elevator upgrades shall include renovation and replacement of existing elevator equipment, machine room and cab. General Contracting, HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, and/or Fire Alarm Work will take place in the elevator machine room, shaft, pit and the elevator lobby on each floor; minor patch and paint will be required for each elevator lobby. These are major modernizations in a working hospital which is open for public business and will continue to operate through the phases of work. These elevators are the main public access elevators for the OSU East Tower and receive very heavy use. Elevator Control Logic will be a vital key to the success of this project so that the new system transports the public between floors in the most timely and efficient pattern possible with wait times held to the least amount of time as possible. The scope of the project is to replace the existing operation equipment and controls of elevators 4, 5, 6, & 7 for code compliance and OSU building standards. Interior cab finishes are included in the scope. These 4 elevators are used by visitors and patients. There is not a lot of known information about these elevators, they are traction, have eighteen stops and are original to the building. During construction, three of the four elevators must always remain open and operational.
