Residential Elevator with Installation

The U.S. Embassy Mexico City has a requirement for a professional contractor for repair by replacement one machine room elevator and install a new machine room less elevator at an apartment building in Mexico City. This effort will have an estimated value between $100,000. and $250,000. U.S. dollars, per FAR 36.204 (c).

The Elevator shall be “turnkey” ready for the owner, meaning all elevator work shall be completed by the contractor in accordance with regulatory safety requirements and manufacturer requirements prior to approval for passenger use. It is understood that when replacing the existing hydraulic elevator with a traction MRL elevator additional space in the hoistway is required for the counterweights, which reduces the size of the new cab and its capacity. Engineering of the new MRL elevator needs to be done carefully so every spare inch of existing space is used to get the maximum cab size, speed and capacity.
