GSA is preparing to solicit Design-Build services for replacement and modernization of Edwards EST-3 fire alarm control systems with new EST-4 systems across three buildings at Denver Federal Center in Lakewood, Colorado, with a Pre-Solicitation Notice due date of June 26, 2026. This requirement is set aside for Total Small Business.

Work encompasses engineering, design, programming, demolition, installation, integration, testing, commissioning, and closeout of fire alarm control panels, networked sub-panels, CPUs, network cards, amplifiers, power supplies, and associated equipment across Buildings 810, 67, and 94. Building 810 requires integration of the new EST-4 system with an existing Silent Knight fire alarm system. The contractor must provide NFPA 72–compliant shop drawings, outage coordination, fire watch services during system impairments, smoke control integration testing, third-party acceptance testing witnessed by a licensed fire protection engineer, and project closeout documentation.

The contract structure is firm fixed-price with a 180-calendar-day period of performance: 60 days for design, 60 days for construction to substantial completion, and 60 days for project closeout. Design submissions are required at 35, 65, 95, and 100 percent completion levels. Bidders must submit HSPD-12 clearance applications by 95 percent design submission. All work must be performed in occupied federal facilities while maintaining continuous life safety protection and minimizing operational disruption. Scope includes functional testing of at least 10 percent of initiating devices and 100 percent of notification zones, replacement of incompatible addressable initiating devices, provision of new fire alarm system printers, and communicator upgrades.
