Section 1.0 Project Description of the scope of work (page 39 of 324) states that the "This project will demolish the existing basewide fire alarm reporting/monitoring equipment and then design and install the interior Monaco Fire Alarm Radio Transmitter...."

Please confirm that it is not the intention of this scope of work to permit the buildings to be without a alarm transmission during the design phase of this project.

Correct, the end of the quoted statement specifies the buildings that this RFP construction will modify. The extent of the existing basewide fire alarm reporting/ monitoring equipment demolition is clarified under Part 3, D5030, Telecommunications Systems, which also requires this demolition to occur after antenna system is installed and accepted at each building.
