The Bureau of Reclamation is researching replacement of fire alarm panels at Folsom Dam and Nimbus Powerplant. - Government buyer: U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation; Central California Area Office (CCAO), within the California-Great Basin Region Acquisition Office in Sacramento. - Named equipment/OEMs: Existing panels are identified as SimplexGrinnell 4100U at Folsom Dam and Simplex 4020 at Nimbus Powerplant. The draft work statement does not require a particular replacement manufacturer or model. - Products: Two new UL-approved fire alarm control panels, one for each site, with new batteries and programming. Existing input/output wiring is to be reused, and the panels must interface with existing alarm devices. - Services and requirements: Remove and dispose of existing panels; install, program, test, and commission replacements; verify devices and alarm sequences; and provide remote alarm notification to the Folsom power plant control room. Certify systems to NFPA 72 and provide a report, staff training, programming files, manuals, spare-parts information, and updated drawings. - Schedule and value: Work is expected within 40 days after award or notice to proceed, with approximately 3–4 onsite days per site. The estimated project magnitude is $25,000–$100,000. Performance and payment bonds are anticipated.
