Elevators shall be designed specifically for the operation, loading and environmental
conditions encountered in extensively used, heavy duty rail transit systems and shall
have a minimum design life of 20 years.
2.
Elevators shall operate while exposed to sunlight, rain, airborne dust, and debris.
3.
The final assembly of all components shall not pose hazardous conditions to the
public or maintenance personnel. Surface irregularities, sharp edges, or protrusions in
public or maintenance areas shall not be permitted.
4.
Provide convenient and safe equipment access for inspection, cleaning, maintenance,
repair, and replacement.

by the use of appropriate sealant or another approved means installed in accordance
with the manufacturers instructions.
6.
For parts and equipment subject to wear and requiring periodic replacement, the
Contractor shall furnish key and seat, nut, screws, or other removable and replaceable
type mechanical fasteners. Such replacements shall not diminish original structural
integrity. Use of rivets or similar type fasteners requiring physical deformation
during field positioning will not be permitted.
