PROJECT BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION: The goal of the project is replace/consolidate existing fire alarm systems at the Pacific Highway Land Port of Entry, in Blaine, Washington, specifically for the Auto/Bus, Cargo, and Warehouse buildings, as well as in enclosed inspection bay and breezeway into a single central fire alarm system, which meets current code requirements. The new system will have two buildings: Building A is the interconnected Warehouse/ Breezeway/Cargo Buildings. Building B is the Auto/Bus building and the inspection bay. The new system shall have adequate logistics support (both in materials, spare and repair parts, and maintenance support) throughout the life cycle of the system, as well as increased functionality of the system for the Property Management Team (PMT). PROJECT SCOPE This scope of work shall include limited design, all labor, supervision, equipment and materials necessary to complete the replacement /consolidation of the fire alarms systems for the Pacific Highway Land Port of Entry Auto/Bus, Cargo, and Warehouse buildings, including the enclosed inspection bay and breezeway. A majority of the design work was previously accomplished via separate contract. The successful offeror will be required to fully develop the construction documents to incorporate the replacement fire alarm system. Deliverables shall include, but are not limited to, new fire alarm system, as-built drawings, operation & maintenance manuals and training, full parts and labor warranty, and spare parts. The Contractor will be required have significant specialty design/build construction fire alarm experience, specifically where existing fire alarms have had to remain fully-operational while the new fire alarm system is installed. Due to the criticality of the project, the contractor shall perform at least 51% of the work with its own in-house workforce. Current NICET Level II Fire Alarm certification is required for installers. Current NICET Level IV Fire Alarm certification and/or current State Fire Protection Engineer licensing and registration is required for the designer. Electrical workers will be required to have the appropriate State electrical licensing. The replacement of the fire alarm system shall be accomplished while facility is fully occupied. The D/B Team will be required to ensure minimal disruption to tenants and their mission, keep current system in operation, and facility and tenants safe and fully protected until such time as the new system is operational and ready to bring on line for facility protection. GSA envisions a highly collaborative D/B delivery approach for this project. The expectation is that the D/B Team will work closely with all the stakeholders to deliver a project that meets the expectations and needs of all stakeholders and GSA's requirements for a fully functional, code compliant fire alarm system. The D/B Team will be selected through a one phase best value D/B source selection process that meets the goals of GSA. PROJECT MAGNITUDE: Between $500,000 and $1,300,000. COMPETITION: Full and Open.
