Project : Ronald Reagan Federal Building - Elevator Modernization

Salary : $110,000 - $120,000

The Ronald Reagan Federal Building and United States Courthouse in GSAs Region 9 (9th Circuit) is one such high-priority project to be undertaken in FY 2023. Deteriorating elevator conditions have occurred throughout the 9-story building, and there are safety concerns relating to the buildings 9 passenger elevators and 2 service elevators originally manufactured and installed in 1998. The last major modernization on the elevators were performed approximately 25 years ago. The controls and fixtures do not meet either the current Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standards (ABAAS) or life-safety code requirements. The motors, generators, communication devices, call and car buttons, door operation systems, and cab interiors are in need of repair and alteration or replacement and replacement parts have become increasingly more difficult to obtain. The deteriorating conditions have led to repeated failures and shutdowns, leaving the building, at times, with an inadequate number of passengers and service elevators. These elevator failures and shutdowns are causing significant impairment to the Constitutional operations of the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Replacement of the elevator systems will provide safety redundancies and bring the passenger elevators into compliance with the current safety code.
