ARTICLE IV(A) - Systems, Modular and Industrial Structures

Par. 1. Systems Building. Systems, modular, industrialized or similar structures are those whose superstructures and components are pre - assembled in sections, rooms, or floors, in whole or in part, in areas adjacent to or remote from the permanent site of the structure. The erection and assembly of elevator components in building modules is to be done by Elevator Constructor Mechanics, Helpers and Apprentices whether the assembly site is adjacent to the job or remote from the job. Where the Company has a choice or selection of the assembly site, such sites are to be mutually agreed upon by the General President of the International Union of Elevator Constructors and the Company. It is understood that if members of one local perform part of such work at an assembly site remote from the permanent job site, members of the local covering the permanent job site will perform the remainder of the work. The elevator work remaining to be done after modules have been put into permanent place, shall be performed by Elevator Constructor Mechanics, Helpers and Apprentices so that the jurisdiction of the Elevator Constructor as related to any other Building Trade, shall remain intact as outlined in the latest "Green Book" or "Plan for Settling Jurisdictional Disputes, Nationally & Locally" or its successor as approved by the Building & Construction Trades Dept., AFL-CIO.

Par. 2. The work to be done by Elevator Constructors is as follows:
(a) The installation and assembly of all machine room equipment whether overhead or below on prefabricated machine room floors.
(b) Assemble car frames and cabs complete with door operating equipment, control, signal and operating devices.
(c) Connect electric traveling cables to either car, controller or half - way junction box. The connections to be prepared and/or made at both ends of assembly site.
(d) Shackle hoist, compensating and governor cables and pre - connect to car or counterweight hitches.
(e) The setting of templates.
(f) The installation of all grating and counterweight screens, overhead work, either wood or iron, and all material used for mounting of elevator apparatus in machine rooms, overhead or below.
(g) All foundations, either of wood or metal, that should take the place of masonry.
(h) The installation and aligning of guide rails in hoistway modules.
(i) Erect and assemble doors, hangers, tracks, door locks or locking devices for opening or closing and all related equipment.
(j) Install corridor side operating and signal devices.
(k) Install hoistway wiring.
(1) Install all elevator equipment and devices in hoistway and hoistway modules including governor rope tension sheaves, control equipment, buffers and supports.
(m) The operating of temporary elevators.
(n) The installation and aligning of all pistons and cylinders on hydraulic elevators.
(o) Landing door entrances.
Unloading, handling, hoisting and lowering of material covered in (a) through (o) will be performed under the supervision of Elevator Constructors.

Par. 3. Nothing in this Article is intended to change the practices either party has previously enjoyed in erection of elevators in conventional type buildings as related to Article IV.

(f) The installation of all grating and counterweight screens, overhead work, either wood or iron, and all material used for mounting of elevator apparatus in machine rooms, overhead or below.
