THOMAS MICHAEL MENINO CONVENTION & EXHIBITION CENTER
MCEC Freight Elevator Modernization (U07)
The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (the "Authority") will receive sealed General bids for the
THOMAS MICHAEL MENINO CONVENTION & EXHIBITION CENTER, MCEC Freight Elevator
Modernization (U07) at the administrative Offices of the Authority at 415 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts
02210, until 12:00 p.m. local time on September 9, 2026, immediately after which, in a designated room, the
general bids will be opened and read publicly.
Sealed Filed Sub-Bids for the same project for the sub-trades listed below will be received at the same office until
12:00 p.m. local time on August 26, 2026, immediately after which, in a designated room, the filed sub-bids will be
opened and read publicly.
This project includes providing all labor, materials and equipment necessary to provide comprehensive
modernization of passenger/service elevators EL-B3 and EL-B4, and freight elevator EL-B5 within the North Lobby
of the Memino Convention & Exhibition Center (MCEC). Classified as a Level 1 Alteration under the Massachusetts
Existing Building Code, the intervention replaces the building's original, obsolete 2004 Fujitec systems with nonproprietary, open-source technology to eliminate procurement risks and ensure long-term serviceability. The scope
includes replacing geared traction machines with units featuring emergency secondary brakes, updating controllers
to VVVF microprocessor drives, and installing robust car safeties and overspeed governors.
Furnish and install a front-of-house access barrier to shield the work zone and restrict public access during
construction, including third-shift, non-dark-day operations.
Due to heavy service wear, EL-B3 and EL-B4 will receive stainless steel frame re-wraps, heavy-duty diamond plate
wainscoting, and new doors with heavy-duty gibs. EL-B5 will be outfitted with a new, reinforced steel freight cab, a
wireless door controller system, and light curtains. To support operations during conventions, a separate
inconspicuous riser will allow the duplex pair to run as independent swing service units. Peripheral trade
coordination includes upgrading the machine room with a new 4.5-ton mini-split cooling system tied to emergency
power, correcting separate electrical circuit disconnects, separating life safety loads on ATS #9, and integrating an
advanced fire command panel at the central Security Center.
A prebid conference will be held at 10:00am on August 12, 2026, starting at the North Lobby of the Thomas
Michael Menino Convention & Exhibition Center (MCEC) located at 415 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts.
The pre-bid conference will be followed by a walkthrough of the site.
Questions or requests for information, clarification or interpretation of the bidding documents must be submitted to
procurement@massconvention.com in writing in accordance with the Instructions to Bidders and must be received
no later than 5:00 p.m. on August 18, 2026.
