establishes and provides nationally leveraged and competitively solicited purchasing contracts.
The Elevator at the Public Safety Building has reached the end of its useful life and is no long
functioning. The control system is no longer supported by its manufacture and is difficult to
obtain replacement components. Kone Inc. will be responsible for the design, manufacturing,
supply and installation of the new elevator system.
Completion of the project is anticipated to be complete by June 30, 2022
This equipment is planned to be included with the Municipal Bond projects.
The total cost is: $ 336,780

Ensuring Project Success
Project Schedule Overview
This Proposal is conditioned upon KONE's standard installation methodology and all work performed during normal business
hours, excluding IUEC (International Union of Elevator Constructors) holidays. The following schedule is proposed:
Preparation of Submittals 2 weeks From receipt of contract and first payment.
Contract Review 6 weeks From receipt of full contract package. All referenced documents required.
Approval of Submittals TBD Mutually agreeable time to incorporate changes to the layout and approve
the submittals. Approval of Submittals means notification in writing, by the
Customer or Customer's Agent, that all submittals are approved, and
manufacturing may commence. All finishes and features are to be
confirmed at the time of submittal approval.
Manufacturing and Delivery 14 weeks From receipt of submittal approval and an executed contract. KONE’s
policy is to release equipment to Manufacturing after the contract is fully
executed by both parties. Note: KONE's factory has two-week shutdown
over the months of July and December. Any manufacturing duration that
falls during these months shall add two weeks to the manufacturing
time. Delivery times may be extended due to delays caused by measures
undertaken to stop the spreading of the Coronavirus (2019-nCoV)
epidemic, availability of personnel, logistics providers, and supply chains.
Notice to commence on site 2 weeks Prior to starting the installation, KONE requires a two-week notice to
and site check inspect the site to ensure it fulfils the requirements set by KONE for
commencing installation. Site Check will be performed in the two weeks
before installation begins.
Removal and Installation 6-7 weeks Only after the site has passed the Site Check inspection, the removal of
existing equipment and installation can start.
Testing and Commissioning 1-2 weeks Clean 3-phase power, active phone line to the controller, and all life safety
provided by others is required prior to testing / commissioning.

Item 10E.
Warranty / maintenance
Our Proposal includes KONE 24/7 Connected Services. Existing maintenance contract will be placed on hold during
modernization and reinstated upon completion.
Under no circumstances shall indicators or predictions from KONE 24/7 Connected Services be cause for immediate services.
They shall be addressed upon the next scheduled maintenance visit, or otherwise at the sole discretion of KONE. The remote
monitoring devices are provided to the Customer as part of the Services. Customer gives KONE the right to utilize 24/7
Connected Services to collect, export and use data generated by the use and operation of the equipment. Customer has no
ownership or proprietary rights to such data, nor the device or software that monitors, analyzes, translates, reports or compiles
such data. KONE 24/7 Connected Services, including any data collected, the device(s) to perform the service, and any software
related thereto shall be the exclusive property of KONE. KONE MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT SERVICES WILL BE
UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. KONE IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATING TO LACK OF NETWORK
COVERAGE AT THE SITE OF THE EQUIPMENT, DUE TO TAMPERING WITH THE REMOTE MONITORING DEVICE,
INTEROPERABILITY, SERVICE DEFECTS, SERVICE LEVELS, DELAYS, SERVICE ERRORS, INTERRUPTIONS OR ANY
OTHER REASON OUTSIDE OF KONE’S REASONABLE CONTROL. KONE DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES OR
INJURIES (INCLUDING DEATH) ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE OPERATION OR USE OF THE
SERVICES SET FORTH HEREIN.
The Product Warranty is specified in Bid Attachment A. Installation by KONE of any parts covered under the Product Warranty
on parts will only occur while KONE maintains an active maintenance contract. The Product Warranty and Warranty
Maintenance commences on the date of acceptance set forth in the Uniform Final Acceptance Form. For long-term reliability, a
continuing maintenance agreement is necessary. This Proposal is conditioned upon KONE receiving a ten (10) year KONE
Extended Warranty maintenance contract from ownership prior to the date of acceptance set forth in the Uniform Final
Acceptance Form.
Tariffs
Please note: This proposal is inclusive of an equitable adjustment in price in accordance with the known impact of recent U.S.
tariffs in effect at the time of this proposal. After the date of this proposal, whether in the US or Canada, if further tariff legislation
impacts the work included in this proposal, and KONE’s price or time to perform the work, KONE shall be entitled to an equitable
adjustment in contract price and a time extension to complete its work commensurate with the impact.
Payment terms
Proposal price is valid with the following payment terms (Payment due date is 30 days net, from the date of KONE's invoices):
30% Engineering & Site Management
50% Material
20% Installation
KONE reserves the right to delay and/or suspend the work, including manufacturing, delivery, installation and/or final turnover of
the equipment for non-payment. Prior to equipment turnover, KONE must be paid in full including all change orders, less
retention. Additionally, prior to turnover KONE requires a signed Final Acceptance and receipt of a Final Punchlist from all
parties. Should you have a requirement other than that shown above; we will be pleased to discuss it with you.
Sourcing
This Proposal is made without regard to compliance with any special purchasing and/or manufacturing requirements including,
but not limited to, Buy America, Buy American, U.S. Steel, FAR clauses, minority/disadvantaged supplier requirements or similar
state procurement laws. Should such requirements be applicable to this project, KONE reserves the right to modify and/or
withdraw our Proposal.

All rights reserved.
Completion
The price is based on KONE completing its work by June 30, 2022, and a material manufacturing start, no later than six
months from the date of this Proposal. The standard wage rate is assumed. If KONE's on-site work is not completed in the
above calendar year (due to delays by others), you will be responsible for the labor rate increase that occurs on January 1st of
each following year.
Storage/delivery/remobilization
This Proposal is based on the site being handed over to KONE in accordance with KONE Site Safety Requirements, per Bid
Attachment “B,” on the agreed dates. Any changes to such dates are considered a change to the schedule and KONE shall be
entitled to an extension of time and to recover all costs related to such changes and an extension of time. If the Site
Requirements are not complete, KONE will not deliver the unit equipment to the job site. If KONE is unable to unload at the
jobsite on the scheduled date and commence installation immediately, additional costs for off-site storage ($1,600 / month per
unit) and labor for double handling of the materials ($4,000) shall be paid to KONE via a Change Order. Should KONE be
required to demobilize, through no fault of its own, due to any suspension or work stoppage, and after material is delivered to
the jobsite a charge of $4,000 per crew shall be paid to KONE via a Change Order for each remobilization. Customer shall also
store and protect the materials and equipment onsite or at a storage facility reasonably acceptable to KONE at Customer’s sole
risk and cost. If KONE is not able to commence installation on the agreed upon material delivery date or if KONE’s work cannot
be performed in an uninterrupted manner, labor may be reallocated to other projects and may not be available to reallocate to
this project for several weeks. KONE is not responsible for any delay to the project resulting from labor reallocation because of
Site Requirements not being complete by the material delivery date.
Phone
This proposal includes one standard, hands-free ADA compliant speakerphone per cab. It will automatically dial to a determined
location. A KONE Care – Emergency Phone Monitoring or Wireless Phone service agreement must be completed, (either
accepting or denying KONE’s monitoring service) two weeks prior to final inspection.
Inspections
This Proposal includes one final inspection by the elevator code authority, per elevator, during normal working hours. Prior to
scheduling the elevator final inspection with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), building life safety including fire alarm and
dedicated phone lines for each elevator must be fully operational. If the final inspection fails due to KONE’s sole responsibility,
KONE shall pay for the cost of re-inspection(s). Should re-inspection be required due to deficiencies by others, you will be
responsible for the cost of re-inspection(s). All other testing will be provided for additional cost at normal KONE billing rates.
During the final testing, a representative of the fire-life-safety contractors will be required (at no cost to KONE) while testing the
elevators. No overtime has been included in this Proposal.
Changes to the work
KONE shall not be required to proceed with any Customer requested change to its Work (“Extra Work”) until such Extra Work is
evidenced in a mutually acceptable Change Order and signed by both parties. This includes, but is not limited to, any changes
or revisions, accelerations, resequencing, suspension of KONE’s schedule of Work or other delays outside of KONE’s control.
However, should KONE agree to proceed with Extra Work pursuant to a Construction Change Directive or Field Order without a
fully executed Change Order, such agreement by KONE is conditioned on the Extra Work being converted promptly to a fully
executed Change Order. KONE shall not be obligated to continue performance of Extra Work if the estimated value of
unexecuted Change Orders exceeds 10% of the Agreement Price, or if there is a reasonable safety concern, a product
limitation, or it is unreasonable to proceed. No action by KONE, including but not limited to KONE performing Extra Work without
an executed Change Order, shall be construed to be a waiver of Subcontractor’s right to seek payment for the Extra Work
performed, or to obtain a Change Order at a later date. Customer shall remain directly liable to KONE for payment for changed
or Extra Work ordered by the Customer for delays caused by Customer or others subordinated to Customer.
