B962 - FA Panel/System Replacement

The B962 Fire Alarm Panel and System Replacement project, managed by Navfac Washington, addresses the critical failure of an obsolete Pyrotronics MXL Siemens Panel and its associated field devices. Current efforts to maintain smoke coverage have reached a limit, as technicians have relocated detectors from offices and unoccupied rooms to occupied Sailors rooms. This has left several areas with only sprinkler coverage and exhausted the available supply of relocatable devices. While there is a temporary plan to utilize used FP-11 smoke detectors from building 1510 following its acceptance test, a permanent and imminent solution is required to restore full system functionality. The project is currently listed as a forecast under NAICS code 238210, signaling the need for a comprehensive system replacement to ensure life safety and regulatory compliance within the facility.
