AI Contract Overview

The Corpus Christi Fire Alarm Replacement Project is a firm-fixed-price contract awarded under a total small business set-aside, requiring the contractor to replace the existing fire alarm system at the Corpus Christi US Courthouse with a fully integrated Networked Emergency Voice/Alarm Communication System (EVACS). The work encompasses design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of all system components, including manual pull stations, smoke detectors, control panels, notification appliances, and integration with smoke control systems, elevators, AHUs, and security infrastructure. Performance must comply with NFPA 72, NEC, and NECA 1-2010 standards, with strict requirements for sound levels (minimum 70 dBA), voice intelligibility (CIS of 0.70), and strobe candela ratings. All work must be completed within a total estimated performance period of 275 calendar days, with substantial completion mandated within 90 days of the Notice to Proceed and final completion within 14 days thereafter. The contractor must use NICET III or IV certified personnel, adhere to GSA’s cybersecurity and CUI protocols, and ensure all materials are from approved manufacturers or approved equals, with batteries installed no more than six months after manufacture. The contract is awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, with no trade-offs between cost and technical merit. Proposals must pass three non-price evaluation factors: past performance on at least three similar fire alarm projects exceeding $500,000 in occupied office buildings, qualifications of proposed key personnel with verified NICET, APS, and manufacturer certifications, and a comprehensive management plan detailing staffing, scheduling, tenant impact mitigation, risk management for system interruption, and handling of historical building constraints. The contractor must submit a bid bond, SF-24, and GSA Form 527, with proposals sent electronically or via hand delivery. Special requirements include full compliance with HSPD-12 for personnel accessing the courthouse, mandatory fingerprinting via SF-87 and completion of a Contractor Information Worksheet, and adherence to Buy American, Federal, State, and Local tax clauses. The government retains unlimited rights to technical data, payment is governed by fixed-price construction clauses including prompt payment and electronic funds transfer, and performance bonds and an irrevocable letter of credit are required. All deliveries must follow CUI handling rules—no external markings—and require trackable shipping with proof of receipt. Key contact points include Kevin Mack as Contracting
