Sources Sought - W912WJ19X0036 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is issuing a Sources Sought Announcement for a construction project to modernize the Base-wide Fire Alarm System at Pease Air National Guard Base, Newington, NH. This announcement is to determine the interest, availability and capability of 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business and Small Business concerns as described below. The NAICS code for this procurement is 238210. The project is planned to be issued on or about January 2020. The construction is expected to take approximately one year. The estimated construction cost is between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00. The project is an upgrade to the Base-wide Fire Alarm System. Currently the Base does not have a centralized base-wide fire alarm control system that meets UFC 3-600-01 standards. The fire alarm panels do not report via radio based transmission to a central system at the fire station. In addition, many older building fire alarms are not addressable and cannot integrate into an Emergency Mass Notification Warning System as required by the New Hampshire Air National Guard The project includes replacing the fire alarm systems with primary receiving and dispatching systems with redundancy. It includes replacing non-compliant, non-addressable fire alarm control panels with addressable wireless control panels and transceivers with capability to report by radio transmission to a Monaco D-21 Central Receiving System. There are approximately 20 buildings slated for this upgrade. Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to require, on a sole source basis, purchase and installation of certain Monaco Enterprises fire alarm system panels and transceivers for the project. The planned project work entails removal of existing wiring and panels, installation of new wiring and panels, installation of antennas, and testing of installed equipment. The project will require the participation of a Qualified Fire Protection Engineer (QFPE) for installation and testing of fire alarm panels in accordance with UFC 3-600-01. Per UFC 3-600-01, a QFPE is an individual who is a registered professional engineer who has passed the fire protection engineering written examination administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying and has relevant fire protection engineering experience. Please provide up to five examples of projects substantially completed within the last seven years in which you have demonstrated the following construction capability and identify your role in the project(s): • Experience installing fire alarm systems. Indicate the system type installed and identify if the system was compatible with a Monaco D-21 Central Receiving System. Describe the relevant buildings/facilities and the project scope. Indicate the total dollar amount, the amount for which your firm was responsible, and the amount attributable to fire alarm system installation. Indicate if your firm was the prime contractor or a subcontractor. Indicate if your firm directly performed fire alarm system installation work. • For each listed project, indicate the location of project, whether it was a federal or private contract, and the construction start and completion dates. • For each listed project, indicate if the project required the services of a QFPE, where QFPE is defined above.
