- Description
- 1. The New York District plans to solicit and award a design bid build construction project for subject project in FY25. 2. This notification serves three (3) purposes: A. To notify potential offerors of the Government�s intent to solicit a brand name only components for this project as per FAR 6.302-1(c). B. To identify potential sources that can provide an equivalent to the brand name only item(s). B. Notification of the Army�s intent to solicit brand name components as described below. All buildings at Watervliet Arsenal (WVA) in Watervliet are using Simplex Fire Alarm and Mass Notification System. The proprietary Simplex addressable devices support addressable functionality with the Simplex Fire Alarm Control Panel, allowing the system to achieve full functionality and compliance with applicable Codes and Standards. Proprietary notification appliances are required to achieve synchronization of audible and visual notification signals with the remainder of the facility utilizing existing Simplex power supplies and audio amplifiers. New Fire Alarm installations include Mass Notification Systems (MNS) in accordance with DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 4-021-01. The existing Simplex infrastructure on site supports the UFC requirements for primary MNS communications. The Simplex Fire Alarm and integrated MNS system has the capability to remotely activate the in-building MNS messaging system and provide live-voice announcements. Fire Alarm System (FAS) and Mass Notification System (MNS) shall be complete, supervised, non-coded, analog-addressable system, installed in class A configuration per National Fire Protection Association, NFPA 72. The FAS/MNS shall provide point reporting to the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). The FACP shall in turn provide point reporting to sitewide Simplex networking and reporting equipment. Point reporting, also known as point-to-point reporting, is the capability to relay the status of each addressable device and certain system components such as Signaling Line Circuits (SLC) to a Central Receiving Station in real time. The FAS/MNS shall be tested and perform as a critical life-safety system. The FAS/MNS shall be compatible with and shall communicate seamlessly with the sitewide Simplex network/receiving system, without impairing operational function or reliability of any existing FAS or MNS.
