Summary & Background: This cooperative purchasing contract furnishes all materials, labor, tools, equipment, and appurtenances necessary for the replacement and installation of new escalators in the Fulton County Government and Justice Center Complexes.
1. Government Center Complex (GCC)
The escalators in the Government Center were installed during original construction and have exceeded their useful life expectancy. In July 2021, the Safety Inspector from the Georgia Office of Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire ordered the shutdown of both the UP and DOWN escalators citing safety concerns. The escalators cannot be repaired as parts are no longer available for purchase due to the age of the system.
2. Justice Center Tower (JCT)
Existing escalators in the Justice Center Tower are 20+ years old and have exceeded their useful life expectancy. The “Up” escalator unit is currently offline due to a damaged drive motor. A replacement motor is no longer available due to the system’s age. The “Dowm” escalator was taken offline in 2024 due to the need for replacement step chains and handrails. Given the age of the unit, it is more financially prudent to replace versus repair.
