- Description
- NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is hereby soliciting information aboutpotential commercial sources that can provide the necessary capabilities to upgrade theFire Alarm Systems and Fire Alarm Central Monitoring System at the GSFC Greenbelt Campus.Specifically, replace obsolete hardwired Pyrotronics System III fire alarm systems withaddressable, computer-based fire alarm systems in numerous buildings. Install/modifyadditional smoke detectors, strobes and bells and related hardware. Add Air AspiratingSystems in clean rooms, mission critical computer rooms and in mission essential areas.This includes retrofitting in buildings with addressable systems (See attached draftStatement of Work). The estimated price range is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000.Vendors must have bonding capacity. GSFC requires vendors with particular capabilities to also design the system; vendors whopossess the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET) orvendors who have a registered professional engineer (P.E.) in principles and practices infire protection engineering; and vendors who have at a minimum an NICET Level 2 FireAlarm Technician with the technical experience to supervise installation. Additional Site Information: NASA/GSFC is located within the City of Greenbelt, Maryland,approximately 6.5 miles northeast of Washington, D. C. The GSFC campus encompassesapproximately 1,270 acres and includes 33 major buildings providing more than 3,000,000sq ft of research, development and office space. GSFC is unique in that the facilities provide for the development and construction ofspacecraft software and scientific instruments as well as the spacecraft themselves.Goddard also contains facilities that gather, process, analyze and store information fromthe spacecraft and scientific instruments once they are launched. Many of these buildingsare operational 24/7 and shall not be shut down during construction. Additional Fire Alarm System Information: The Fire Alarm Central Monitoring Systeminfrastructure is currently a radial Siemens X-net using copper wire with a backupautodialer system. A planned upgrade to a fiber optic network with a backup autodialersystem shall occur during this project. The system currently allows two waycommunications between the individual buildings and the Central Station. Ultimately, newfire alarm systems are expected to retain this feature. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If asolicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA AcquisitionInternet Service. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these sites forthe release of any solicitation or synopsis.
