Bids for an elevator and escalator reconstruction project at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center in Ocean City, Maryland, came in over the US$1.74-million budget, OC Today reported in January. Four companies submitted bids for the project, separating the cost for the elevator renovation from the escalator renovation. The town will be selecting one bid for the elevator renovations and one bid for the escalator part. Officials noted that the project would include renovations to four elevators – a large freight elevator, a small freight elevator, a north passenger elevator and the south passenger elevator. The council is in the process of reviewing the bids.
