FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 3, 2023
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF AN ELEVATOR MODERNIZATION PACKAGE FOR
GRAPEVINE CITY HALL
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider a purchase for an elevator modernization
package with ThyssenKrupp Elevator Corporation for City Hall.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Capital Projects Fund for an amount not to
exceed $250,000.
BACKGROUND: This purchase will provide modernization for the City Hall elevator system.
The majority of the elevator is original to the opening of City Hall. Many of
the critical replacement parts are no longer available. The modernization
will include an interior cab upgrade, improved fire, life safety features,
decreased waiting times and reduced power consumption. The lead time
for the necessary parts is long and this project will likely not begin until
early next year. In addition, the the project is being planned so that it can
be completed in two weeks and not disrupt public access to City Council
meetings.
This purchase will be made in accordance with existing and interlocal
agreements with Sourcewell as allowed by Texas Local Government
Code, Section 271 and Texas Government Code, Section 791.
Bids were taken by the cooperative and a contract was awarded to
ThyssenKrupp Elevator Corporation. The Facility Services staff and
Purchasing reviewed the contract for specification compliance and pricing
and determined that the contract would provide the best service and
pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
