Fire Alarm engineering for Lewis County
Solicitation # 2026-RFQ-040
Lewis County is soliciting qualifications under solicitation 2026-RFQ-040 for a professional engineering firm to provide comprehensive design and engineering services for fire alarm systems. The project encompasses several County-owned facilities, including the IT Building, Historic Courthouse, Health Building, and Lewis County Jail. The selected firm will be responsible for conducting on-site evaluations to determine the remaining useful life of existing systems, assessing code compliance with NFPA 72, IBC, and IFC standards, and developing bid-ready construction drawings and technical specifications. All designs must be stamped by a licensed electrical engineer familiar with Washington State fire alarm requirements and must integrate smoothly with existing infrastructure to ensure standardized maintenance and operations. Proposals are due by November 10, 2026, via the OpenGov platform and will be evaluated by a committee of at least three County employees using a points-based system. The evaluation criteria are equally weighted at 20 percent each across four categories: firm qualifications (including NICET certifications and licensed engineer availability), responsiveness and capacity to begin work within 30 days, regulatory compliance and permitting records, and the clarity and detail of blueprint designs. Applicants must provide a statement of qualifications, three public agency references from the last five years, and resumes of key personnel.

The contract involves the design and construction of a new Lacquer Preparation Facility at the Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Kingsport, Tennessee, to support the production of plastic bonded explosives such as RDX and HMX. The existing facility, which includes Buildings 149/150 and a chemical/solvent storage tank farm, is the sole source of lacquer production used as a binder in explosives manufacturing, playing a critical role in reducing explosive sensitivity and supporting both legacy and Insensitive Munitions (IM) formulations. The project aims to expand the facility’s capacity to produce at least 15 million pounds of RDX-based and 2.5 million pounds of HMX-based formulations annually, ensuring continued operations, safety, quality, and environmental compliance in line with modern standards. This effort requires architect-engineering services to design a state-of-the-art Lacquer Preparation Facility equipped with all necessary process equipment to meet the increased production demands. The new facility will support modernization initiatives at the plant, enhancing the Department of Defense’s capability to produce current and future explosive formulations. The solicitation, posted by the Department of the Army’s Office at Fort Drum, NY, emphasizes the importance of maintaining operational continuity and safety standards, with a response deadline set for August 14, 2025. The project underscores the strategic importance of ensuring a reliable, modernized infrastructure for explosive manufacturing to meet national defense requirements.

Full Description

Show more
The existing Lacquer Preparation Facility at Holston Army Ammunition Plant, Kingsport, TN, comprising of Buildings 149/150 and a chemical/solvent storage tank farm, is the only facility capable of producing lacquer batches for the production of all plastic bonded explosives (PBX). The facility receives, stores, handles, and processes the binder materials and solvents in manufacturing the lacquer in explosives production. Mobile wagons are used to transfer lacquer from the facility to the explosives production buildings. Lacquer is a mixture of dissolved rubbery polymer materials in a solvent that is used as a binding agent in reducing the sensitivity of RDX, HMX, and TATB based explosives formulations. A plasticizer instead of lacquer may also be prepared in the facility to be used as a feedstock raw material in formulating RDX based explosives. The Lacquer Facility supports legacy explosives and the new Insensitive Munitions (IM) explosives being developed at HSAAP.This effort will require Architect-Engineering (A-E) design services for a new Lacquer Preparation Facility with all the necessary process equipment to support annual production capacity expansion with a minimum of 15M lbs of RDX and 2.5M lbs of HMX based formulations. This will ensure continuity of operations in maintaining the production capability, quality, safety, and environmental requirements to meet modern standards and permits. This new facility will support the expansion modernization of HSAAP RDX, HMX, and IMX production capacity to provide a viable capability to meet current/future DoD explosives production.
