1. PROJECT OBJECTIVE & GENERAL OVERVIEW

The Stanley Hose Company is seeking competitive, comprehensive bids from qualified, certified fire protection contractors to replace the existing, outdated fire alarm system at its main facility located at 122 Park Street, Sherman, NY. The selected contractor will be responsible for engineering, supplying, installing, programming, testing, certifying, and providing training for a fully code-compliant, turnkey addressable fire alarm system.

2. SCOPE OF WORK

The contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, materials, and specialized services required to execute the following scope items:

System Demolition & Replacement: Safely decommission and replace the existing non-addressable/legacy fire alarm control panel and associated devices with a modern addressable system.

FACP Room Protection: Install a dedicated addressable photoelectric smoke detector within the Fire Alarm

Control Panel (FACP) room.

Restroom Notification: Furnish and install visual-only (V/O) strobe units within all public facility restrooms to meet current ADA and building code requirements.

Second Floor Coverage: Furnish and install an audio/visual (A/V) horn/strobe unit in the second-floor common area.

Lower Level Drop-Ceiling Remediation: Locate, trace, and extend wiring for all existing fire alarm devices on the lower level. Relocate and drop these devices flush into the newly installed drop ceiling.

Code Compliance & Area Auditing: Review facility square footage on the lower level and add any additional detection or notification devices necessary to fulfill current NYS Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code requirements. Ensure proper mounting height/placement for all existing and new pull stations and A/V units.

Life Safety Additions: Furnish and install combined or individual photoelectric smoke and carbon monoxide

(CO) detectors across all floors of the facility as mandated by New York State regulations.

Outdoor Emergency Notification: Install a heavy-duty, weather-proof outdoor emergency station (blue push-button, turn-to-reset, labeled "Emergency") and seamlessly interface it with the new fire alarm control system.
