Simplex Fire Detection and Alarm with Mass Notification.

The applicable FAR reference is 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements; (a) Authority. (1) Citations: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) or 41 U.S.C.

253(c)(1). (2) When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, or, for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for.

The existing base-wide Simplex Fire Alarm System Monitoring shall tie into this new fire alarm and mass notification system.

Simplex programming logic is a specific protocol language and is not accessable to other manufacturers of fire alarm system. Additional (estimated) costs will be associated to establish a second fire alarm system on the installation.

A second system would be required on base to report to the base fire station and security forces control center. This additional cost would equate to $100,000.

Further costs would be incurred to physically reconfigure both the fire station alarm room and security forces control center to make space for the second fire alarm head end. Costs associated to physically reconfigure the space amount to $10,000 ( estimated). Lastly,training cost in the amount of $50,000 ( estimated) would be required to send base maintenance staff to manufacturer specific training on maintenance and programming. These training costs would be avoided as maintenance staff are currently trained on the existing Simplex Fire Alarm system.
