Previous contractual work provided in the FDA building relating to the Fire Alarm system was completed on an as-needed basis. This included: Fire Alarm Panel Replacement: 2017 Panel Failure replacement to: EST iO1000GD Partial Removal of Halon System: 2017 Scope Summary The objective of this project is to design and replace the current fire alarm control panel(s), conductors and associated devices at the FDA's PNWRL The current fire panel that serves the Laboratories has reached the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced. The manufacturer of the current fire alarm panel and hardware is EST iO1000GD. This scope of work shall include the design and replacement of the fire alarm control panel, and all other fire life safety devices which upon completion will comprise a fully operational and code compliant system. include construction, demolition of existing system, replacement of the fire panel, all other fire/ life/safety devices, associated conduit, interconnectivity and associated requirements, and the installation of an addressable class "A" code compliant system. No assumption of current systems code compliance should be made. Contractor will be responsible for complete design and installation which conforms to all current codes and standards. The replacement of the fire alarm system will be accomplished while facility is fully occupied. The D/B Team will be required to ensure minimal disruption to tenants and their mission, keep a fully functional fire alarm system in operation, the facility and tenant's safe and fully protected until such time as the new system is fully operational and ready to bring on line for facility protection. Phased installation of new system with facility being protected by more than one fire alarm system during project will be considered by GSA. Project Description & Approach The General Services Administration (GSA) intends to award a firm fixed-price, Design-Build contract for the FDA Bothell PNWRL Bldg Fire Alarm Replacement, located in Bothell, WA pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Best Value Design-Build Selection Procedures (FAR Subpart 15.3). The DB team will be selected through a best value / tradeoff selection process. During the development period from initial concept to final design the DB team will work in close consultation with GSA, the stakeholders and the CMa to ensure that all of the goals are addressed and that best value practices are utilized. GSA will be contracting separately for Construction Management Assistant (CMa) services. The CMa will be involved in the design process and will provide construction oversight expertise, estimating, change order review, cost information, functionality and constructability reviews and ePM project data entry. There will be an informal partnering process throughout the design and construction phases to promote successful project development and execution including an enhanced project kick-off meeting. All installed systems will be fully commissioned and functionally tested to ensure compliance with contract documents prior to being accepted by GSA. Unique Situations/Risks The facility location, coupled with the need for continuous operation during construction, present unique challenges for the design/build teams on the project. Facility will remain fully occupied and operational during the entire project. Life safety of the tenants will be protected at all times. No adverse impact on tenant mission will be acceptable. Occupied Facility Construction The replacement of the fire alarm system at the FDA Bothell PNWRL must occur within an occupied, fully functional facility. These functions include typical office work, but also include services for the general public and a courthouse. This presents several challenges that will have to be addressed by the designer and/or design/build team. • All work in public spaces will need to be completed during unoccupied periods. • Setup, construction, and clean-up will need to occur on a daily basis.
