The FAA is conducting a market survey to determine the level of competition available in the Seattle, WA area for the following project. No contract of any kind will result from this annoucemnt, it is for planning purposes only.

The intent of this contract is to complete the fire alarm installation by replacing all the existing devices that were installed roughly 20 years ago. The current panel is a Simplex 4100ES and was installed by Johnson Controls International roughly 2 years ago. The panel is proprietary, only compatible with Simplex branded equipment and sold exclusively by Johnson Controls International.

Since the panel is proprietary and the parts can only be obtained through Johnson Controls International, the only remaining option is to utilize Johnson Controls for the project. This contract will include the following services and equipment:

1. Replace all initiating devices (smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations, etc.)


2. Replace all notification devices (horn/strobes, strobes, etc.)


3. Program all new devices into current control panel.


4. Install additional protection per national code requirements throughout the tower where required.


5. Provide support for system testing and commissioning.
