Army - Yuma, AZ - Elevator Maintenance - MRAS

The General Services Administration (GSA), on behalf of the United States Army, is conducting market research to identify potential contractors capable of providing elevator maintenance services at the Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. This initiative aims to ensure the safe and reliable operation of elevators within this critical military facility. The overarching goal is to maintain high safety standards and operational efficiency, adhering to both federal and state regulations, including those set by ANSI, NFPA, and OSHA.

The contract involves non-personnel services where the contractor will not be supervised by government employees but will instead operate independently while being accountable for their performance. The scope of work includes monthly maintenance services, annual elevator certifications, and emergency call-outs as needed. These tasks are essential for maintaining the operational readiness and safety of three passenger elevators located within various buildings at Yuma Proving Ground. Contractors are expected to provide all necessary personnel, equipment, tools, and materials required for these services.

Yuma Proving Ground is situated in a low desert area with extreme summer temperatures that can exceed 115 F. This environment necessitates a robust maintenance schedule to prevent any potential malfunctions due to harsh conditions. The facility's elevators include models from manufacturers such as Montgomery and Otis with varying capacities ranging from 2,000 lbs to 4,000 lbs. Each elevator requires adherence to specific maintenance protocols as outlined by manufacturer guidelines and applicable standards.
