Fire Alarm System Replacement and Upgrade

This requirement is for a design-build project to replace and upgrade fire alarm systems across the IE116 Pinon Community School campus in Howes, South Dakota. The work covers 13 buildings, including administration, classrooms, dormitories, cafeteria, maintenance, library, computer laboratory, old cafeteria, garage, and a Head Start pre-school modular facility, totaling approximately 152,000 square feet. The contractor shall provide licensed architectural and engineering design services and perform demolition, installation, testing, and repair of new fully addressable fire alarm systems. Existing outdated fire alarm control panels, initiating devices, notification appliances, and associated equipment will be removed and legally disposed of. New systems will comply with National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72) and National Fire Protection Association 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code (2024 edition) requirements, including emergency voice communication/alarm capability and carbon monoxide detectors in all buildings. Work includes new fire alarm control units, speakers, detectors, wiring in rigid metal conduit, surge protection, monitoring of sprinkler flow and tamper switches, kitchen hood fire protection systems, supervisory station communication, testing of magnetic door holders, and repair of affected building areas. All systems will be centralized to a primary fire alarm control unit located in the facilities maintenance building, with connectivity via existing or new underground conduit networks as required.
