- In accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at Research Triangle Park (RTP), North Carolina intends to award a sole source contract with Simplex Grinnell, 6952 Preston Avenue, Suite A, Livermore CA 94551. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this acquisition is 561621, Security System Services, with a small business size standard of $12.5M. The EPA believes Simplex Grinnell is the only source capable of performance because of the proprietary nature of the existing Simplex Grinnell 4120 fire alarm systems installed at the EPA RTP Main Campus and the Human Studies Facility (HSF) in Chapel Hill, NC. Under this contract, Simplex Grinnell will complete an analysis and verification of the existing Simplex Grinnell 4120 fire alarm system as installed/wired and provide the EPA with a complete report documenting their findings and recommendations. Simplex Grinnell shall verify documentation of the existing signal and notification devices, revise the record drawings documenting any additions or deletions of devices and graphical maps showing any added devices since the time of initial installation, and update the graphical maps in the current Simplex Grinnell graphic control center. Simplex Grinnell shall provide voltage drop readings, verify the candela rating and signal circuit number for each strobe device, and provide recommendations for appropriate strobe device coverage in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 72 National Fire Alarm Code. Simplex Grinnell shall affix bar code labels to each strobe device. After their analysis/verification, Simplex Grinnell shall deliver a comprehensive report to the EPA documenting their findings and recommendations. The report shall include the summary of the analysis/verification and recommendations to correct deficiencies in the system for the Main Campus and HSF. Additionally, Simplex Grinnell shall revise the as built drawings of the system showing it as currently installed. Any interested firms who believe they can fulfill the requirements should submit a capabilities package fully demonstrating their capabilities, qualifications, expertise, and Simplex Grinnell certifications to analyze/work on Simplex Grinnell equipment (NTE 10 pages) no later than 15 days from the date of this announcement electronically to lominack.william@epa.gov. Capabilities packages will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination not to compete this procurement based on response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice of intent is not a request for proposal. This is for informational and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the government. This is not a solicitation announcement for proposals and no contract will be awarded from this announcement. Any information submitted to this notice of intent is voluntary. Reimbursement will not be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement.
