This project provides for the orderly replacement/renovation of aging and outdated elevator systems in County-owned buildings. This project also includes periodic condition assessments of elevator systems in County buildings.

Several projects will be completed in FY23 and FY24.

Cost increase is due to the addition of expenditures in FY27 and FY28 for this ongoing project.

Many elevator systems in County buildings are inefficient, outdated, and beyond economic repair. The useful life of heavy use equipment (hoist, machine motor generation set, governor, controls, car safety devices, door operator, rails, air conditioning pump units, car buffers, door hardware, etc.) has been exhausted. The existing maintenance program is only capable of keeping the elevator operational, since spare parts are not always readily available in the market, resulting in increased shut down time, greater energy consumption, and higher maintenance costs. Renovation/replacement of aging and outdated elevator systems improves reliability, energy conservation, safety, and code compliance. A new survey is in progress.

In FY18, $100,000 was transferred to Planned Life Cycle Asset Replacement project for the Data Center's Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system.

Expenditures will continue indefinitely.

Departments affected by Elevator Modernization projects, and Department of General Services.
