Project: Refurbishment of 104 Integrated Venetian Blinds

System Type: Warema Type 1.16/25/35.07 (24v motor) inside WICONA WICLINE Aluminum Composite Windows



1. Project Objective



The contractor shall provide a turnkey solution for the inspection, repair, and motor retrofit of 104 integrated venetian blinds. The objective is to restore 100% motorized functionality while maintaining the thermal, acoustic, and aesthetic integrity of the WICONA window units.



2. Comprehensive Pricing & Scope



The offer submitted by the contractor must be all-inclusive. No additional costs will be entertained after the contract award. The bid price shall include:




  • Labor: All technician, electrician, and logistical personnel hours.

  • Materials: All motors, cables, lift tapes, ladder cords, and hardware components.

  • Equipment: All tools, specialized window opening devices, safety gear, and cleaning supplies.

  • Transportation: All travel costs, vehicle expenses, and shipping/freight for parts.

  • Fees: Disposal fees, administrative costs, and any required permits or insurance.



3. Logistics & Site Management




  • Furniture Management: Contractor shall move office furniture and equipment as required to gain unobstructed access to the windows. All items must be protected and returned to their original positions upon completion.

  • Surface Protection: Provide appropriate floor and wall protection during the transit of tools and components.



4. Health, Safety & Electrical Standards




  • Qualified Personnel: Only certified electricians (per Swiss regulations) may perform electrical work.

  • Lockout/Tagout (LOTO): A strict LOTO procedure must be implemented. Hazardous energy sources must be isolated, locked, and tagged before work commences.

  • Verification: Zero-energy state must be verified via testing before physical contact with wiring.

  • Sash Access: Open the internal "sandwich" sash of the WICONA windows using the integrated latches.

  • Hardware Maintenance: Inspect and lubricate all WICONA latching mechanisms and concealed hardware.

  • Gasket Inspection: Verify the condition of internal gaskets. Damaged seals must be reported or replaced to ensure the cavity remains dust and moisture-free.

    • Replace worn lift tapes and ladder cords as necessary to ensure smooth mechanical operation.





6. Commissioning & Integration




  • Calibration: Set electronic end-limits (upper/lower) for every unit.

  • Testing: Perform three full cycles (Up/Down/Tilt) per window to ensure defect-free operation.

  • System Integration: Ensure new motors are integrated into the existing building control or radio systems.



7. Waste Disposal (Swiss Compliance)




  • Swiss Codes: Disposal must comply with vREG/ORDEA (Electrical Waste) and VeVA/OMW (Waste Movements).

  • Recycling: Deliver old motors and aluminum scrap to authorized SENS eRecycling or Swico collection points.

  • Evidence: Contractor shall provide official disposal certificates (Entsorgungsnachweis).



8. Cleaning & Handover




  • Internal Cleaning: Clean internal glass surfaces and aluminum slats before closing the sash.

  • Final Report: Provide a list of all units serviced, including specific motor model numbers used.
