7. Siemens recently announced discontinuation of the Siemens MXL fire alarm product line including all MXL fire alarm control panel components and MXL compatible initiating devices such as photoelectric smoke detectors, addressable manual pull stations and various input modules (see Siemens POA-03-16 and Siemens POA 01-13). Modification or extension of an existing Siemens fire alarm control panel would first require migration of the existing Siemens MXL fire alarm control panel to the newer Siemens Desigo series of fire alarm control panels.

All existing MXL compatible field devices and notification appliances would remain and tie into the new Siemens Desigo Fire Alarm. Would MCC San Diego modify scope of work to include a migration only of Siemens MXL fire alarm control panel to the Siemens Desigo fire alarm control panel?
