scope summary - elevator

date: 20 February 2019 subject: Tarrant County 350 W Belknap Parking Garage Elevator Replacement

to: Bidders re: Scope of Work from: Amanda Schulte AIA project #: 17149.00

The general scope of the project is to replace an existing 5-stop hydraulic elevator with a completely new 5-stop traction elevator. Because the new traction elevator requires additional overrun height, the existing roof of the elevator shaft will be extended up to allow for additional space. This requires modification to the existing structure, along with a new roof deck, new hoist beam, new masonry shaft walls, and new roofing materials. Additionally, the existing elevator machine room requires new wall insulation, gypsum board finish, and paint. The new traction elevator also requires updates to electrical components for both the elevator and the shaft.
