Fire and security system at timu

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Southeast Region is seeking a contractor to remove and replace fire and security systems at the Timucuan Ecological & Historical Preserve in Jacksonville, Florida. The project involves installing new analog/addressable fire alarm and security systems across nine buildings, including the Ranger Offices, Visitor Center, Headquarters Building, and several historic structures like the Kingsley Main House and Kitchen House. Proposals must include a technical approach (not exceeding 20 pages), past performance questionnaires from three relevant projects completed within the last five years, and a detailed cost proposal. The government will evaluate proposals based on technical approach, past performance, and cost, with non-cost factors being significantly more important than price. Key submission deadlines include a site visit on April 14, 2025, and proposal submission by May 2, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. ET.

This contract opportunity is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, requiring bidders to have this designation in their SAM.gov registration. The project is valued between $500,000 and $1,000,000, with a contract performance period from May 14, 2025, to September 11, 2025, including a 10-day mobilization period and 120 total calendar days for project completion. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds and adhere to prevailing wage rates for Duval County, Florida, which range from $23.63 per hour for carpenters to $51.11 per hour for elevator mechanics. The scope of work includes comprehensive system installation across multiple buildings, with careful attention to preserving the historical integrity of the structures. Contractors will be responsible for complete system demolition, new wiring, component installation, testing, documentation, training, and warranty services.
