This is an RFI, not a solicitation; the VA seeks qualified Architect-Engineer firms for complete design and cost-estimation services to upgrade the obsolete Edwards EST-3 fire alarm system at the Syracuse VA Medical Center, 800 Irving Avenue, Syracuse, NY 13210. The work includes upgrading fire alarm panels and remote annunciators, installing a fiber loop and master control panel, expanding the addressable system, removing the fireman telephone system, and developing phasing that maintains continuous fire alarm protection. The A/E must prepare working drawings, specifications, detailed cost estimates, and construction-period services, with drawings stamped by a registered Fire Protection Engineer and the prime firm required to have an FPE on staff. Design must comply with NFPA 70, NFPA 72, NEC, and applicable VA standards; the NAICS code is 541330 with a $25.5M size standard. Responsible sources may submit capability statements, and inquiries should be sent to Ryan.Seburn@va.gov by 10:00 EST November 3, 2026; phone calls will not be accepted.
