What makes this package different
Look for modernization experience on comparable equipment, work in occupied buildings and handoff to the owner’s service provider. Coordinate the equipment survey, building access, approved outage sequence and availability of the inspection parties, and allocate retained components, connections by other trades, temporary access arrangements and inspection coordination explicitly.
| Package | Scope information | Interface |
|---|---|---|
| Controls and retained equipment | existing car inventory, controller scope and components proposed for reuse | controller and drive replacement versus retained cab and mechanical equipment |
| Doors and landing fixtures | opening and fixture schedules by car and served floor | door operators, fixtures and finish repairs assigned to other trades |
| Outage and return to service | car-by-car sequence, building access plan and acceptance milestones | site coordination, inspection booking and responsibility for addressing outstanding items |
