Here's the matter we want to address together: click on each paragraph to add your votable contribution

Context

We are considering an elevator modernization to improve reliability, accessibility, and safety. The decision is not only about price: we need to compare scope (controller, doors, cabin upgrades), warranty terms, maintenance response times, and how the contractor manages resident disruption and safety during works.

Because elevator downtime is a major impact (especially for residents with mobility constraints), the schedule window is part of the decision. This proposal demonstrates Concorder by using ranking for bid approval (each bid includes detailed HTML scope and targeted pros/cons), plus a separate vote on acceptable work windows using date ranges. Attachments reference the EU lift safety framework so residents can ask the right questions about compliance and documentation.

What we’re deciding

  • Which bid we approve for modernization
  • Which work window(s) are acceptable
  • Which contract requirements must be mandatory

How to participate

Rank the bids, then choose the work windows that are feasible. In comments: add resident constraints (strollers, medical needs), preferred notice period, and any observed current issues (breakdowns, door faults, leveling problems).

Voting options

Vote on the different proposed options to find the best solution together.
