15B11124A0000021 Upgrade Fire Alarm.pdf

This document is a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the upgrade of the fire alarm system at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Memphis, Tennessee. The current Edwards EST3 fire alarm system is unreliable and problematic, with issues such as networking problems, Class A and B network failures, multiple ground faults, and outdated components that cannot be repaired. The plan is to use the existing single-mode fiber network to connect all fire alarm panels to a central main panel, with the option to upgrade to the newer EST4 system if needed. The RFP includes details on the current system configuration, consisting of 13 fire alarm panels, 1 annunciator, and 910 devices. The Federal Bureau of Prisons is the agency issuing this solicitation, with a description of the facility and its inmate population. No specific response dates, award dates, pricing terms, or set-asides are provided in this document.
