STATEMENT OF WORK

SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1PART 1 – GENERAL

The Necedah National Wildlife Refuge is a 43,696-acre National Wildlife Refuge located in northern Juneau County, Wisconsin near the village of Necedah. It was established in 1939 and is famous as the northern nesting site for reintroduction of an eastern United States population of the endangered whooping crane.

1.1 Project Title: Removal/Replace/upgrade the existing Security systems in four buildings and adding a new video surveillance system. The buildings include an 11,800 square foot Headquarters/Visitor Center, which was constructed in 2009, the 777 square foot Outdoor Classroom which was also constructed in 2009, the 4,100 sq. foot Maintenance Building with mezzanine which was constructed in 2002 and the 6,600 square foot Fire Cache Building which was constructed in 2006.

The work also includes upgrading the existing Fire alarm system in the 11,800 square foot Headquarters/Visitor Center, which was constructed in 2009, and the 777 square foot Outdoor Classroom which was also constructed in 2009.

1.2 Work Under These Specifications A. Contractor shall furnish all materials, labor, equipment, designs, submittals, and site superintendence that is necessary for the removal and disposal of the components as necessary of the existing Security and Fire Alarm system. Once the existing components that have to be removed are removed, then the contractor shall furnish all materials, labor, equipment and site superintendence that is necessary to replace the existing components of the Security and Fire Alarm Systems. Only the components of they systems that have to be replaced shall be replaced in order to ensure that the existing systems will again be fully functional and long lasting as described below and as described in the specifications. The replacement of these systems is necessary because the local phone company switched from analog to digital service. When the phone company upgraded their phone service in 2020 the exiting systems components could no longer contact the various monitoring companies. Before that the systems, to the best of our knowledge, were fully functioning. The government assumes most of the existing conduit and wiring can remain along with most of the other components, including the pull stations and door contacts but it is up to the bidders/contractors to determine which components need to be replaced so the new systems meet or exceed the current codes, are at a minimum identical or an improvement to the way the existing systems functioned, operated and protected the spaces. The number and type of sensors, how they functioned and the coverage they provide shall not be reduced. The new system shall also be able to transmit to an outside monitoring company using at a minimum a phone line, which now appears to be digital.
