Adoption of Resolution (2023-04) Authorizing 24-Hour Elevator, Inc. as the District's Sole Elevator Maintenance Provider Meeting Aug 9, 2022 - (REVISED) SPECIAL Governing Board Meeting Type Action Recommended Action Adoption of Resolution (2023-04) Authorizing 24-Hour Elevator, Inc. as the District's Sole Elevator Maintenance Provider Over the past 14 years, Otis Elevators has provided service to the District for maintaining 25 elevators and lifts district-wide. In order to ensure the best value for the District, in early 2022 staff conducted research on elevator and lift servicing firms in the San Diego area. Staff identified five firms for consideration and carefully researched rates, overtime charges, state code compliance and referrals. A questionnaire was sent to each firm and a team of District staff conducted interviews of each firm. After consideration, 24-Hour Elevator, Inc. was selected and a contract for one year with four annual renewals was approved by the Governing Board in April 2022. 24 Hour Elevator, Inc. has evaluated each elevator for code compliance and maintenance deficiencies. As deficiencies are identified, the District will authorize repairs as needed. Staff recommends that the firm contracted to maintain the elevators also performs necessary repairs, provides a warranty and ensures State compliance. While the District does not maintain the elevators at either Steele Canyon High School or Helix Charter High School, any capital repairs are the responsibility of GUSHD under the terms of the MOUs with both schools. Recently, Steele Canyon identified the need for such capital repairs to their one elevator, which is over 20 years old. Steele Canyon has recently retained 24 Hour Elevator, Inc. to maintain this elevator as well. The District is in receipt of a proposal from 24 Hour Elevator, Inc. to perform those capital repairs necessary to bring the unit up to code. In consideration of the long term maintenance agreement with 24 Hour Elevator, Inc. and given the thorough evaluation and selection process conducted, staff recommends the adoption of 24 Hour Elevator, Inc. as the sole source for the District's elevator maintenance and repairs. By adoption of this resolution, 24 Hour Elevator, Inc. will be identified as the sole source for the District's elevator and lift maintenance and repair.
