The City Council in Ocean City, Maryland, unanimously approved three bid awards — including two related to vertical transportation (VT) — totaling nearly US$2 million at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center (CC), Ocean City Today reports. Delaware Elevator, Inc., was awarded a US$761,900 contract to rebuild and replace a large freight elevator at the convention center, and Otis was awarded a US$1.038 million contract to replace the facility’s escalators. Ocean City Public Works Director Hal Adkins explained that the escalator work will involve complex drawings, fabrication, shipment and assembly, so the new escalators are not expected to be operational until April 2025. The City Council originally sought to replace an additional, small freight elevator and a passenger elevator, but “bid escalation issues” necessitated moving those plans to Ocean City’s next three-year funding cycle.
