This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the National Park Service's replacement of fire and security alarm systems at Women's Rights National Historical Park (WORI) in Seneca Falls, New York.

The project scope encompasses demolition and replacement of existing non-addressable Johnson Controls and Simplex Grinnell fire and security detection systems with fully addressable, non-proprietary systems across three buildings: the Main Visitor Center (19,817 square feet, four levels), Wesleyan Chapel (3,439 square feet total), and Electrical Shed (164 square feet). The contractor must provide complete fire alarm and security system installation meeting NFPA 72 (2019 edition) and current codes, with fire detection including approximately 67 smoke detectors, 10 heat detectors, 6 duct detectors, 8 sprinkler tamper switches, 24 notification devices, 6 water flow switches, 11 pull stations, 4 exterior notification bells, 8 door hold devices, 2 elevator recalls, and 1 shunt trip. Security systems must incorporate dual-technology motion detectors, duress alarms, active shooter alarms, and redundant detection coverage with door contact and break glass sensors. All systems must interface with existing Simplex sprinkler and deluge pre-action systems and communicate via dual-path (IP primary with cellular backup) to a park-designated monitoring station. The contractor is responsible for design submittals, shop drawings, pre-testing, final testing per NFPA 72, commissioning, 8 hours of training for maintenance personnel, and one-year warranty covering parts, labor, device cleaning, sensitivity settings, programming changes, emergency response times, and semiannual inspections. Design must be completed by qualified personnel (NICET III or licensed Fire Protection Engineer minimum), with installation supervised by manufacturer-certified personnel and a minimum NICET Level II fire alarm technician on-site throughout. Project completion is required within 300 days, with buildings remaining operational during work. Final deliverables include as-built drawings (hard copy and digital formats), warranty certificates, operation and maintenance manual, training records, and spare devices, all due within seven days of project completion and prior to final payment.

1 Project Overview Location and Facilities This project involves the park visitor center, Chapel, electrical shed, located in Seneca Falls, New York as part of Women’s Rights National Historical Park. This facility is located at 136 Fall Street, Seneca Falls, NY 13148. The facility is an historic 19,817 square foot three-story brick structure with that is occupied year-round. The facility serves as office space for staff and exhibits for visitors.

Project Description This Scope of Work (SOW) is for the design and installation replacement of the existing non-addressable Johnson Controls, simplex Grinnell fire and security detection systems. We would like to shift to a non-proprietary completely addressable system with flexibility for easy future upgrades in the park visitor center, Chapel, and electrical shed. It also includes the demolition and appropriate disposal of existing systems and equipment and patching and painting of existing surfaces as required. Existing systems is a commercial fire and security system between 30 and 35 years of age. Many of these systems have exceeded their design life and/or lack coverage or features required by WORI. This system must be compatible with our existing simplex sprinkler system/ deluge pre action system.

1. The Contractor shall be responsible for all necessary work to achieve required project outcomes, including labor, equipment, tools, personal protective equipment (PPE), coordination with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), internal construction permits, incidental design, shop drawings, travel, and other related expenses. In accordance with IFC Chapter 33 and RM-58, fire protection systems shall remain in service or be otherwise mitigated through an approved fire watch or equivalent measures. A portable alarm system may be used in conjunction with the existing system as a backup while work is being completed (example Tattletale alarms.)

Demolish and replace the existing fire alarm system serving the Visitor Center (4 levels/19,817 GSF). Provide a complete fire alarm system to meet or exceed NFPA code requirements and meet or exceed the coverage being provided by the existing alarm system, which includes the following components to be field verified:

• Main panel with battery backup

• Control panel 4002

• Notifier panel for pre-action system

• Assume 67 smoke detectors, ten heat detectors in mechanical spaces, and six air duct detectors in the penthouse

• Assume eight sprinkler tamper switches

• Assume 24 bells and strobes throughout the building

• Assume six water flow switches

• Assume 11 pull stations

• Assume 4 exterior fire/security notifier bells

• Assume eight door hold devices

• Assume two elevator recalls and one shunt trip

• Assume new wiring and conduit, while the existing low voltage wiring may be sufficient for reuse.

• Assume reuse of existing wiring with selective replacement.

• Replace two wall-mounted flood fixtures on the Shed, with LED fixtures. Assume 10,000

Lumens each.
