<div dir="ltr">That is crazy. I would run as fast as I could away from this vendor. This is a highly regulated industry. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The vendor should provide the contract and thereafter it will likely need significant revisions to give the condominium association some measure of protection. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Your instincts are right. The vendor should provide a proposed contract.
</div>
<div dir="ltr">You will want a maintenance proposal as well as elevators require annual maintenance, including annual testing per state code.

<div dir="ltr">I was president of an HOA when a new elevator was installed and our vendor provided the contract.
