Amendment P00001 to Solicitation 140FS326Q0081

This document is Amendment P00001 (Questions & Clarifications) to solicitation 140FS326Q0081, issued by the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) SAT Team 3 in Falls Church, VA. The amendment provides answers to contractor questions regarding the replacement of alarm panels at the Visitor Center and Administrative Building at Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge in Florida (PPR2114479 LR 4). The solicitation due date has been extended to July 20, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST.

The amendment addresses six key questions and clarifications: (1) confirmation that there are 11 existing strobes/speakers in the Visitor and Education Center; (2) detailed specifications of existing wireless network equipment available for connectivity, including Comcast cable (DPC3939 modem) and T-Mobile cellular (KVD21 gateway) options in the Admin Building, and Comcast cable (CBR2 router) in the Visitor Center; (3) clarification that the existing EVAX-25 PA/voice-evacuation system shall be fully integrated and operational with the new addressable fire alarm control panel rather than permanently decommissioned; (4) confirmation that existing initiating and notification devices are addressable but compatibility with new panels is the vendor's responsibility, with replacement anticipated as necessary; (5) notification that drawings of the Visitor Center are attached; and (6) confirmation that new voice evacuation panels should trigger speakers and speaker strobes through integration with the new system. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.

Could the government please specify the manufacturer, model, frequency, or network type

Question: Visitor Center PA/Intercom System

(Section 1.7 vs. Attachment A): SOW Section

1.12 / 1.7 states the contractor shall 'fully disconnect the existing PA system and leave in place'. However, the Photo 9 caption and

Attachment A (Sections 3, 7, and 8) state the new panel must be fully compatible and integrated with the EVAX 25 PA system, including programming logic and voice testing.

Please clarify if the existing EVAX 25 voice-evacuation system and its associated speaker circuits are to be permanently decommissioned/disconnected, or if they must be fully integrated and operational with the new addressable fire alarm control panel.

Answer: Please Replace the existing PA system with a compatible system. The EVAX-25 system shall be fully integrated and operational with the new addressable fire alarm control panel.

Question: The scope indicates that new addressable fire alarm control panels will be installed while utilizing the existing smoke detectors and other field devices. Can you confirm whether the existing initiating and notification devices are already addressable and compatible with the new panels, or if replacement of any existing devices is anticipated as part of this project?

Answer: The existing devices are addressable, but it is not known if it is compatible with any new panels. This is the responsibility of the vendor. It is not known if the existing detection devices will need replacement.
