[WSBARP] Elevator installation?

[Patrick McDonald]

Lisa,

That is crazy. I would run as fast as I could away from this vendor. This is a highly regulated industry.

The vendor should provide the contract and thereafter it will likely need significant revisions to give the condominium association some measure of protection.

Your instincts are right.  The vendor should provide a proposed contract.
You will want a maintenance proposal as well as elevators require annual maintenance, including annual testing per state code.
I was president of an HOA when a new elevator was installed and our vendor provided the contract.
Good luck,
Katherine

Listmates-



PC seeking advice regarding a contract for elevator installation.



Elevator installation vendor asked HOA president for a contract after HOA accepted vendor’s bid.



It doesn’t seem reasonable to me that the person who knows the least about elevator installation [HOA president] would be asked by a vendor [person holding self out as one with expertise] to prepare a contract for the matter at hand.



Seeking referrals to someone familiar with elevator installation contracts.



And lovely Friday evening to you.



Thank you.



Lisa
