Z--Fire Alarm System Upgrade, EPA AWBERC Facility, Cincinnati OH

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has a requirement for a Fire Alarm System Upgrade at its Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research Center (AWBERC), 26 W. Martin Luther King Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio. This project involves the removal and replacement of the existing fire alarm panel, bells, and civil defense alarms. A new ADA compliant speaker strobe system will be installed. This includes a new fire alarm panel with two remote annunciators with microphones (guard station and director's office); speaker strobe notification devices for all floors including the roof; duct and area smoke detectors; manual pull stations; and tamper, flow and pressure switches. The new fire alarm panel shall interface with the system in the new AWBERC Annex building. Certain indicating devices at remote locations on the campus shall report to the new fire alarm panel. A firm-fixed price contract is contemplated. In addition to price, the Government's evaluation of proposals will address each offeror's past performance record. For evaluation purposes, past performance and price are of approximately equal importance. The anticipated contract performance period is twelve months after receipt of the notice to proceed. The estimated price range is between $500,000 and $750,000. The solicitation will be released through the internet on EPA's home page at www.epa.gov/oam/cinn_cmd/. Prospective offerors can download the Request for Proposals and related documents from this website on or about February 11, 2004. This is an unrestricted acquisition. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered by the Agency.
