REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR FIRE ALARM AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM RETROFIT PROJECT

The work does not anticipate changes to the fire sprinkler systems but may require minor changes if compliance issues are found during the review.

A paging/communication system will be added for the Corporation Yard and Library facilities. The work shall include but not be limited to: review of existing systems, design of updated systems, fire alarm panel replacements, strobes, annunciators, pull handles, electrical feed to relocated panels, conduit, conductors, patching and painting of existing walls and ceilings for device relocations where necessary and raising the fire sprinkler exterior main backflow device above ground at the Library. The work will take place while buildings are occupied by staff and the public with extra care and special working hours required. The estimated project cost is $1.7 million for all three locations.
