I. SCOPE:

The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and supervision necessary to convert the existing wet-pipe fire sprinkler system to an antifreeze system servicing the Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home located at 2332 Margaret Walker Alexander Drive, Jackson, MS 39213. This project will be completed under a single prime contract. Design, layout, installation, and testing shall be in accordance with 2022 edition NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems and NFPA 25, Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-based Fire Protection Systems.

BACKGROUND: The Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument sits at 2332 Margaret Walker Alexander Street (formerly Guynes Street) in Jackson, Mississippi. It is significant at the local, state, and national level for its association with Medgar Wiley Evers and Myrlie Beasley Evers, who made major contributions to advancing the goals of the civil rights movement. It is also significant as the site of Medgar Evers’s assassination on June 12, 1963. A white supremacist shot and killed Medgar Evers in the carport of his home. His was the first murder of a nationally significant civil rights leader. The assassination focused national attention on the necessity for civil rights legislation and forced Myrlie Evers into a more prominent, national role for the NAACP where she continued to promote issues of racial equality and social justice.
