PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 INSTALLATION

Install in accordance with DOD design criteria, contract specifications,

manufacturer's instructions, NEII-1 Building Transportation Standards and
Guidelines, and all applicable building and safety code requirements.

3.1.1 Structural Members and Finish Materials

Do not cut or alter structural members. Do not alter finish materials from
manufacturer's original design. Restore any damaged or defaced work to
original condition.

SECTION 14 24 23 Page 17
Bldg 615 FSH19B615

3.1.2 Miscellaneous Requirements

Provide recesses, cutouts, slots, holes, patching, grouting, and

refinishing to accommodate elevator installation. Use core drilling to
drill all new holes in concrete. Finish work to be straight, level, and
plumb. During installation, protect machinery and equipment from dirt,
water, or mechanical damage. At completion, clean all work and spot paint.

3.2 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

The Contractor will provide and utilize a third-party licensed and

certified Qualified Elevator Inspector (QEI) to conduct elevator
pre-acceptance inspection and testing. The QEI must perform inspections
and witness tests to ensure that the installation conforms to all
applicable safety codes and contract requirements. The QEI will be
directly employed by the Contractor and independent of the elevator
contractor.

Upon completion, the QEI must provide written test data for all
ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Acceptance Tests and written certification that the
elevator is complete and ready for final Acceptance Inspection, Testing,
and Commissioning.

3.3 ACCEPTANCE INSPECTION, TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

When elevator system installation is complete and ready for final

inspection, notify Contracting Officer that elevator system is ready for
Acceptance Inspection, Testing, and Commissioning. Provide QEI
certification specified in Article FIELD QUALITY CONTROL.

Contracting Officer will obtain the services of a third-party QEI Certified

Elevator Inspector. The QEI must utilize an Elevator Acceptance Inspection
Form to record the results of inspection and all testing and to identify
safety code and contract deficiencies. Specific values must be provided
for all tests required by ASME A17.1/CSA B44, ASME A17.2, and contract
documents. Upon completion of inspection and testing, the QEI must sign a
copy of the completed forms and provide to the Contracting Officer. Within
2 weeks of the inspection, the QEI must also prepare a formal inspection
report, including all test results and deficiencies. Upon successful
completion of inspection and testing, the QEI will complete, sign, and
provide a certificate of compliance with ASME A17.1/CSA B44.

3.3.1 Acceptance Inspection Support

Prime and Elevator Contractors must provide inspection support and perform
all required tests, in order to demonstrate proper operation of each
elevator system and to prove that each system complies with contract
requirements and all applicable building and safety codes. Inspection
procedures in ASME A17.2 form a part of this inspection and acceptance
testing. All inspection and testing must be conducted in the presence of
the Qualified Elevator Inspector (QEI).

If the elevator does not comply with all contract and safety code
requirements on the initial Acceptance Inspection and Test, the Contractor
is responsible for all costs involved with re-inspection and re-testing
required as a result of contractor delays and discrepancies discovered
during inspection and testing.

3.3.2 Testing Materials and Instruments

Furnish all testing materials and instruments necessary for Acceptance

Inspection, Testing and Commissioning. At a minimum, include calibrated
test weights, tachometer, accelerometer, hydraulic pressure gauge, 600-volt
mega ohm meter, volt meter and ammeter, infrared temperature gauge, door
pressure gage, dynamometer, and 20 foot tape measure.

3.3.3 Field Tests

3.3.3.1 Endurance Tests

Test each elevator for a period of one hour continuous, automatic

operation, with specified rated load in the elevator cab. During the one
hour test, stop car at each floor, in both directions of travel, and allow
automatic door open and close operation. The requirements for Automatic
Operation, Rated Speed, Leveling, Temperature Rise and Motor Amperes must
be met throughout the duration of the Endurance Test. Restart the one hour
test period from the beginning, following any shutdown or failure.

3.3.3.2 Speed Tests

Determine actual speed of each elevator, in both directions of travel, with

rated load and with no load in elevator car. Make Speed tests at the
beginning and at the end of the Endurance test. Determine speed by
tachometer reading or accelerometer, excluding accelerating and slow-down
zones. Under all conditions, minimum acceptable elevator speed is the
Rated speed specified. Maximum acceptable elevator speed is 110 percent of
Rated speed.

3.3.3.3 Leveling Tests

Test elevator car leveling operation and provide a leveling accuracy equal
to or less than 1/8 inch at each floor with no load in car, and with rated
load in car, in both directions of travel. Determine leveling accuracy at
the beginning and at the end of the endurance tests.

3.3.3.4 Temperature Rise Tests

Determine temperature rise of elevator pump motor and hydraulic fluid

during one-hour full-load test run. Under these conditions, maximum
temperature rise must not exceed acceptable temperature rise indicated on
manufacturer's data plate. Start test only when equipment is within 5
degrees C of ambient temperature.

3.3.3.5 Motor Ampere Tests

At beginning and end of Endurance test, measure and record motor amperage
in both directions of travel and in both no-load and rated load conditions.

3.3.3.6 Elevator Performance and Ride Quality Testing

Evaluate elevator performance to ensure compliance with specification

requirements related to the NEII-1 Performance Standards Matrix for New
Elevator Installations.

3.3.3.7 Hydraulic Safety Valve (Automatic Shutoff Valve) Tests

In order to ensure consistent performance, regardless of hydraulic oil

SECTION 14 24 23 Page 19
Bldg 615 FSH19B615

temperature, test the Hydraulic Safety Valve twice. Test once before the
one-hour endurance test and once immediately after the one-hour test. For
elevator certification, safety valve must perform to code in both tests.

3.3.3.8 Hydraulic Pressure Tests

Check the hydraulic static pressure and rated-speed operating pressure at

the hydraulic control valve, under both no load and rated load conditions.
