The existing Fire-lite Miniscan 1000 fire panel that serves the Building has reached the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced, as well as does other fire alarm system components. The new system shall have adequate logistics support (both in materials, spare and repair parts, and maintenance support) with an adequate system life cycle, as well as increased functionality of the system for the Property Management Team (PMT). GSA envisions a Design Build (D/B) Construction Contract for replacement of the existing fire alarm system. Both final design and construction services will be acquired through the one phase D/B solicitation process. The Design Builder will be required to fully develop drawings and specification which comply with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), building codes, and Historic preservation requirements. PROJECT SCOPE This scope of work shall include limited design, all labor, supervision, equipment, materials and associated items necessary to complete the replacement of the fire alarms system. The successful offeror will be required to fully develop a full design and construction documents to incorporate the replacement fire alarm system. As the building is on the National Historic Register, care must be exercised to comply the National Historic Preservation Acts Section 106. Modifications to the building must be review by the GSA Regional Historic Preservation Office and the State Historic Preservation Office. Deliverables shall include, but are not limited to, new fire alarm system, as-built drawings, operation & maintenance manuals and training, full parts and labor warranty, and spare parts. The Contractor will be required have significant specialty design/build construction fire alarm experience. Due to the criticality of the project, the contractor shall perform at least 65% of the electrical work with its own in-house workforce. Current NICET Level II Fire Alarm certification is required for installers. Current NICET Level IV Fire Alarm certification and/or active Washington State Fire Protection Engineer licensing and registration is required for the designer. Electrical workers will be required to have the appropriate State electrical licensing. Experience in working on construction in nationally registered historic buildings is required. The replacement of the fire alarm system shall be accomplished while facility is fully occupied. The D/B Team will be required to ensure minimal disruption to tenants and their mission, keep current system in operation, and facility and tenants safe and fully protected until such time as the new system is operational and ready to bring on line for facility protection. GSA envisions a highly collaborative D/B delivery approach for this project. The expectation is that the D/B Team will work closely with all the stakeholders to deliver a project that meets the expectations and needs of all stakeholders and GSA's requirements for a fully functional, code compliant fire alarm system. The D/B Team will be selected through a one phase best value D/B source selection process that meets the goals of GSA. PROJECT MAGNITUDE: Between $250,000 and $500,000 COMPETITION: Full and Open.
