The Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University Carbondale hereby requests sealed bids for construction work on the Neely Hall elevator rehabilitation project (Bid # E-13375-6749M).

Southern Illinois University will be accepting bids to furnish all material, labor and equipment required to coordinate the modernization of the elevator system in Neely Hall (Bldg. #0142) located on campus. This project is being bid as two separate contracts: Electrical and Elevator.

The electrical contract also includes the addition of fire alarm devices and controls, electrical work to disconnect and reconnect new elevator and ventilation equipment, and finally a small split-system air-handling unit installed in the penthouse. The fire alarm modifications will require reprogramming of the graphical fire annunciator at the Facilities Operation Center on campus.

A contract will be issued to the contractor submitting the lowest proposal, which meets the intent of the bid documents.

Bids will be received up to the hour of 2:00 PM local time, on Friday, January 11, 2002. Immediately after closing time for receiving bids, they will be opened publicly and read.
