In case of an emergency, the contractor will be able to respond within 12 hours to support, troubleshoot or repair the new system. The Fire Station Alerting System must meet the Uniform Building Code, NFPA 70 and 1221 standards. This system must also support the Fire Stations and Dispatch centers at building 738, 739, 3489, 3579, 3640 and 52200. The new system must include multi-function desk sets, noise controllers, indoor and outdoor speakers, auditory and visual alerting. The new system will be integrated into the existing communications dispatch center to allow any or all fire stations to be alerted as required for emergency response. This system will be upgraded to a new IP based design for each Fire Station. Where necessary, the contractor will provide new wiring for the Fire Station Alerting System.
