    Fire Detection and Alarm System Budgetary Proposal – Kosciusko County Justice Building

    Vendor has been requested to give a 2022 budgetary proposal for the Kosciusko County Justice Building Fire Alarm Upgrade.  The budgetary proposal is solely based upon the original fire alarm as-built drawings dated August of 2000.  This price and scope are for budgetary purposes only and is only an estimated cost.  The price will include:

FIRE ALARM PULL STATIONS REPLACEMENT

    •    Vendor will provide the Labor, Material, Programming, and Testing to upgrade the existing fire alarm pull station locations provided by the As-Built drawings form from  August of

2000.  The drawings show that there are currently (25) Fire Alarm pull stations throughout the facility.  Vendor will include cost to replace 25 existing fire alarm pull stations with a Notifier addressable updated version.  Vendor will re-use all existing circuitry. New fire alarm cabling to the pull stations is not included in this proposal. Vendor will assume that all existing circuitry is in good working condition.

FIRE ALARM SMOKE, HEAT & DUCT DETECTORS

    •    Vendor will provide the Labor, Material, Programming, and Testing to upgrade the existing Smoke, Heat, and Duct detector locations provided by the As-Built drawings form from August of 2000.  The drawings show that there are currently (311) Fire Alarm smoke detectors (26) heat detectors, and (37) duct smoke detectors throughout the facility.

Vendor will replace (311) existing smoke detectors, (26) existing heat detectors, and (37) smoke duct detectors with new Notifier addressable detectors, and new detector bases. Vendor will re-use all existing circuitry and conduit.  New fire alarm cabling to the smoke and heat detectors will not be included in the proposal. Vendor will assume that all existing circuitry is in good working condition.

FIRE ALARM NOTIFICATION STROBES AND SPEAKER STROBES

    •    Vendor will provide the Labor, Material, Programming, and Testing to upgrade the existing

Strobes and Speaker Strobes locations provided by the As-Built drawings form from August of 2000.  The drawings show that there are currently (40) Strobe only and (145) Speaker Strobes throughout the facility.  Vendor will replace (40) existing Strobes and (145) existing Speaker Strobes with new Notifier devices.  Vendor will re-use all existing circuitry and conduit.  New fire alarm cabling to notification appliances will not be included in the proposal.  Vendor will assume that all existing circuitry is in good working condition.

FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANELS

    •    Vendor will provide the Labor, Material, Programming, and Testing to upgrade the existing Fire Alarm Control Panel Cabinet and (2) NAC Booster Panels and (3) fire alarm Annunciator panel and the fire alarm dialer location provided by the As-Built Drawings form from August of 2000.  The drawings show that there is currently (1) Fire Alarm Control Panel and (2) Fire Alarm NAC Booster Cabinets and (3) Annunciator panels, and (1) dialer in the facility.  The existing Fire Alarm Control panel will be replaced with an updated Notifier 3030 addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel with (8) loop expander modules to accommodate all communication (SLC) loops.  This will include (1) dialer used to call out signals to a central station for 24 hour monitoring.  The monthly monitoring fee is not part of this proposal and will need to be set up in addition to the fire alarm replacement.  Vendor will also replace (2) existing NAC Booster panels and (3) Fire Alarm Annunciator Panels with new Notifier equipment.  Vendor will re-use all existing circuitry and conduit.  New fire alarm cabling to the existing devices will not be included in the proposal.  Vendor will assume that all existing circuitry is in good working condition.

FIRE ALARM PROGRAMMING AND TESTING

    •    Vendor will replace the main FACP first and provide programming updates on a day-to- day basis as the devices are being replaced.  All areas on the old system will be out of service once the old Siemens panel has been removed.  Areas can be made live one at a time as each SLC communication loop is being completed.  This will be dependent on the area each SLC loop serves.  Vendor will conduct a full functional test of each area as they are brought on line to the new fire alarm system.
