1.PROJECT INFORMATION

This section provides an overview of the project.

1.1. PROJECT SUMMARY

This project will replace the existing Edwards EST EST-3 fire alarm control panels and associated graphic annunciators at the Denver Federal Center (DFC) in Building 810, Building 67, and Building 94 with new EST-4 fire alarm control systems. The existing EST-3 systems are end-of-life equipment with limited manufacturer support and replacement parts no longer readily available, creating long-term operational, maintenance, and reliability concerns for the Government.

The project is intended to improve system reliability, maintainability, and code compliance while supporting continued building operations and occupant life safety throughout the Denver Federal Center campus. Building 810 also requires integration between the new EST-4 system and the existing Silent Knight fire alarm system currently serving portions of the facility.

The project will include replacement of fire alarm control equipment, associated annunciators, and related system components necessary to support continued operation of the fire alarm systems at each facility. Existing removed EST equipment identified by the Government shall be preserved and turned over to GSA for potential reuse in supporting other existing EST systems located throughout the Denver Federal Center.

This effort supports ongoing facility infrastructure modernization initiatives across the Denver Federal Center and is intended to address aging fire alarm infrastructure prior to complete manufacturer obsolescence and increased system failure risk.

1.2. The D/B Contractor shall coordinate work and gain approvals required in this Statement of Work (SOW) with the Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer’s Representative/Project Manager (COR/PM) as required. PROJECT

BACKGROUND

The Denver Federal Center (DFC) is a multi-building federal campus consisting of administrative, operational, and mission-critical facilities occupied by multiple federal agencies. Buildings 67, 94, and 810 are existing federally owned facilities that currently utilize legacy Edwards EST EST-3 fire alarm systems as part of their base building life safety infrastructure. The existing EST-3 systems have reached end-of-life status, with limited manufacturer support and replacement parts becoming increasingly difficult to procure and maintain.

Building 67 is an existing occupied federal office and operations facility that includes integrated smoke control functions associated with the building fire alarm system. The facility has experienced historical smoke control testing deficiencies, creating operational

March 10, 2026 5 of 53 and maintenance concerns for the existing fire alarm infrastructure. The building currently operates on an EST-3 platform with associated field devices and annunciation equipment serving the facility.

Building 810 is an occupied federal facility within the Denver Federal Center campus currently utilizing an EST-3 fire alarm system in conjunction with an existing Silent Knight fire alarm system serving portions of the building. The existing configuration requires continued operational coordination between systems to maintain facility life safety functionality. Due to the age of the infrastructure and the mixed-system configuration, modernization of the fire alarm control equipment is required to support long-term reliability and maintainability.

Building 94 is an existing occupied federal facility utilizing an EST-3 fire alarm control system and associated graphic annunciators as part of the building’s life safety systems. Similar to other EST-3 systems located throughout the Denver Federal Center campus, the existing equipment is approaching obsolescence and presents ongoing maintenance and operational support challenges.

The proposed project is part of the Denver Federal Center’s broader infrastructure modernization and lifecycle replacement efforts intended to maintain reliable, code-compliant fire alarm and life safety systems across the campus. The project will upgrade the existing EST-3 fire alarm control equipment to the EST-4 platform while maintaining building operations throughout construction and supporting continued occupancy of the facilities.

Pursuant to paragraph 5.3 of the PBS NEPA Desk Guide (October 1999), this project is an automatic CATEX and requires no checklist.

2.7. U.S. COMMISSION OF FINE ARTS (CFA) REVIEW REQUIREMENTS

The CFA is a federal agency with authority to review and comment on federal projects in the District of Columbia that propose exterior alteration to buildings or sites. CFA’s purview is the design of buildings and sites, or their proposed alteration. While CFA does not require completion of NEPA and NHPA for submission, most GSA projects requiring CFA review also require NCPC review; therefore, completion of NEPA and NHPA is necessary regardless.

CFA’s schedule of meetings, submission deadlines, and project submission requirements are found on the agency’s website https://www.cfa.gov/project-review/government.

CFA staff may advise preliminary consultation for complex projects. The D/B Contractor shall make key personnel available to accompany the COR/PM and OE (Office of Engineering) representatives for consultations with CFA, as necessary.

March 10, 2026 18 of 53 https://www.cfa.gov/project-review/government

The CFA submission materials generally are the same materials used for the NCPC submission. The materials are to be 508 Compliant digital file(s) or transmitted through a secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site such that materials can be easily downloaded in PDF format if the file is too large. There's a 150 MB per file size limit for submissions accepting PDF and/or Zip files.

Usually, with support from the D/B Contractor, OE is able to coordinate submission of project materials to both NCPC and CFA so that the review times for each agency run concurrently.

The deadlines for both agencies are usually at the end of each month. To best support GSA’s project submission, the D/B Contractor shall prepare the submission materials to allow for early project consultation to streamline the approval process as well as have the most accurate estimate of project schedule.

2.8. External Review Agencies - Local, State, other Federal

This project may be subject to coordination, referral, and/or review submission by external review agencies such as Local, State, and other Federal agencies. The D/B Contractor should be familiar with the submission requirements of the applicable review agencies.
