Fire Alarm (s)

The state contract opportunity involves the replacement of existing fire alarm systems for the Stratton Manor (667-1) and Franklin County Regional Housing and Redevelopment Authority (FCRHRA) Offices located in Franklin County, Massachusetts. The procurement is for a new addressable fire alarm system, with bid documents available on biddocs.com and explicitly instructing potential bidders not to submit bids through COMMBUYS. The project appears to be focused on modernizing fire safety infrastructure for public housing and municipal administrative facilities. The bid was posted on December 1, 2025, with proposals due on December 2, 2025, indicating a very compressed timeline for potential contractors. Contractors interested in this opportunity will need to demonstrate technical expertise in fire alarm system installation, with a specific focus on addressable system technologies that provide precise location identification during emergency events.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be a standard public infrastructure improvement project potentially open to qualified fire alarm system installers and integration specialists. The project's location within Franklin County suggests potential preference for local or Massachusetts-based vendors, though this is not confirmed in the current documentation. The contract likely requires comprehensive system replacement, including hardware installation, programming, testing, and potential integration with existing building management systems. Given the nature of fire alarm system replacements in public facilities, contractors will presumably need appropriate licensing, insurance, and certifications in fire safety system design and installation. While no specific budget range is provided, similar municipal fire safety infrastructure projects typically range from $50,000 to $250,000, depending on the complexity of the addressable system and the specific facility requirements.
