DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS
DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS
The United Nations Economic
Commission for Africa (UNECA) seeks to engage an experienced contractor to
supply, install, and commission the elevators in accordance with the attached
documents.
The four elevators currently
installed in the UNCC Building have been in service for more than twenty-nine
(29) years, having been commissioned in 1997. Over time, several spare parts
have become unavailable on the market, and critical components, such as the control
systems, have aged and are increasingly difficult to maintain. In addition,
some components have been phased out and replaced by newer technologies.
In addition to the shortage of
spare parts, the existing elevators lack several essential safety and
accessibility features, including facilities for people with disabilities, an
Automatic Rescue Device (ARD), and Fireman's Operation.
The absence of these critical
features, combined with the aging equipment and the unavailability of spare
parts, underscores the urgent need to upgrade the existing elevator systems.
