Appendix 2: Clarifications

Contract terms between KONE Inc. and Purchaser shall be based on our Proposal and Attachments “A” and “B”.

All new elevator equipment provided shall meet applicable ASME A17.1 code requirements. Any provisions of codes applicable to out-of-scope items shall be the Purchaser’s responsibility. Cost of any future code changes adopted prior to permitting and completion are excluded.

Existing cab and entrance dimensions, which may not meet current ADA or stretcher access rules, will be retained as is.

Our proposal includes inspections and testing as required by the AHJ. However, any re-testing required due to other trades’ failures to complete their work or tests in a timely manner will be billed at our regular billing rates.

The ASME code limits changes to the empty car weight + capacity of each elevator to 5% of the originally installed value. If past or proposed changes result in a change to the weight or system pressure (for hydraulic) greater than 5% above the original design values, the cost of any engineering and of any required modifications to the elevator system or structure shall be extra to this proposal scope and pricing. If this situation is discovered during the engineering process, KONE will notify purchaser and recommend an alternate design or other changes.

In order to provide best pricing, proposal excludes any extra demobilizations and remobilizations. If we must demobilize from the jobsite for any reason outside our control, we shall be compensated at our regular billing rates.

Proposal pricing is based on the scope of work as defined herein. Any additional work required will be performed only upon Purchaser’s approval of a mutually agreeable change proposal. Any other deficiencies revealed in the progress of the work will be promptly reported to purchaser with recommendations and cost for corrective action.

Asbestos: Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary within this bid or contract, KONE’s work shall not include any abatement or disturbance of asbestos containing material (ACM) or presumed asbestos containing materials (PACM). Any work in a regulated area as defined by Section 1910 or 1926 of the Federal OSHA regulations is excluded from KONE’s scope of work without an applicable change order to reflect the additional costs and time. In accordance with OSHA requirements, the Customer shall inform KONE and its employees who will perform work activities in areas which contain ACM and/ or PACM of the presence and location of ACM and/or PACM in such areas which may be contacted during work before entering the area. Other than as expressly disclosed in writing, Customer warrants that KONE’s work area at all times meets applicable OSHA permissible exposure limits (PELs). KONE shall have the right to discontinue its work in any location where suspected ACM or PACM is encountered or disturbed. Any asbestos removal or abatement, or delays caused by such, required in order for KONE to perform its work shall be the Customer’s sole responsibility and expense. After any removal or abatement, customer shall provide documentation that the asbestos has been abated from the KONE work area and air clearance reports shall be made available upon request prior to the start of KONE’s work.

Purchaser shall provide any security, escort or other building service support personnel required during demolition, installation, testing, and inspections.

For hydraulic elevators, we can assume no responsibility for unusual conditions such as hole cave in and complete hydraulic cylinder assembly embedded in concrete. The excavation of the hole to accommodate the new hydraulic cylinder assembly is based on encountering soil free of oil, rocks, boulders, building construction members, sand, water, quicksand, underground caves and/or any other obstructions or unusual conditions. Should such obstructions or unusual conditions be encountered, additional time above or beyond the working days estimated to complete this project may be required. We will proceed with this portion of the project on a time and material basis, based on our normal billing rates.

Proposed solution is subject to a complete engineering review by KONE engineering team to confirm feasibility of products proposed. Additional charges may apply for work not included, but required to meet system requirements. Additional charges for this work (if applicable) shall be mutually agreed upon.

Interviews

Each vendor that submitted an RFP was interviewed by the Committee on June 15, 2022. We note that the district has had experience with each potential vendor. The RFP requires that a staff person be assigned and dedicate 100% of his/her time to Teaneck Schools. During the discussions, emphasis was placed on how the vendor would handle concerns related to staff performance issues which may arise. We concluded that ESS, LLC would be able to manage any performance issues.

Recommendation of Award of Contract
At the conclusion of these interviews and discussions, the Committee unanimously agreed to recommend that ESS, LLC be selected as the vendor to provide paraprofessional staffing services to the Teaneck Public Schools.

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A-18A-4.5 (d) we hereby recommend to the Board of Education the award of the contract to ESS, LLC, based upon the terms and conditions of Competitive Contracting Proposal CC 01-23.
