Elevator Repair and Upgrade, Agnes Edwards Hall, University of Louisiana - Lafayette, Lafayette, Louisiana, Project No. 19-671-22-01, F.19002416. This project consists of repairs and ADA upgrades to the controls for two elevators. The units are traction elevators.

Work is to be coordinated and staged so that one elevator is operational at all times. Asbestos containing material (ACM) has been identified in the elevator shaft. This project seeks to design, coordinate and construct the new work without removing or disturbing the ACM. The Designer shall prepare and submit all required drawings to Facility Planning & Control in AutoCAD and hard copy. Drawings shall follow the format specified in the "Instructions to Designers for AutoCAD Drawings Submittal". The available funds for construction (AFC) are approximately $600,000.00 with a fee of approximately $52,084.00. Contract design time is 150 consecutive calendar days; including 50 days review time. Thereafter, liquidated damages in the amount of $100.00 per day will be assessed.

Applicants are advised that design time ends when the Documents are "complete, coordinated and ready for bid" as stated in to Article 3.3.1 (4) of the Capital Improvements Projects Procedure Manual for Design and Construction. Documents will be considered to be "complete, coordinated and ready for bid" only if the advertisement for bid can be issued with no further corrections to the Documents.
