Department of Justice, Fire Alarm Replacement -Riverside Forensic Laboratory

The Department of Justice in California is preparing to replace the aging fire alarm system at the Riverside Forensic Laboratory located at 7425 Mission Blvd., Riverside, with a fully upgraded system compliant with current safety and accessibility codes. The existing system, installed in 2002, has reached the end of its operational life and lacks essential replacement parts, compromising reliability and compliance. The new system will meet EST4 standards and align with NFPA 72 Amendment, the International Fire Code, the International Building Code, and the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. Key elements of the upgrade include replacing the main fire alarm control unit, installing a new pull station, running new electrical wiring and components, and upgrading the fire alarm terminal cabinet to ensure full system functionality and code adherence. The project is forecasted for release and is managed by the California Department of Justice, with Sabina Wiley serving as the Project Director and primary point of contact. The place of performance is identified with a zip code of 92509 in Riverside, California. While specific details such as the solicitation number, contract type, or set-aside information are not yet provided, the timeline indicates the opportunity was posted on January 28, 2026, with further procurement details expected to follow through the official portal linked in the contract data. All work will be conducted to ensure seamless integration with existing building infrastructure while achieving modern safety, regulatory, and accessibility benchmarks.
