FIRE ALARM SYSTEM UPGRADES

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is soliciting bids for fire alarm system upgrades at the Training Academy (T Division) in Regina, Saskatchewan. The project aims to modernize aging infrastructure and improve system reliability across the campus. The scope of work includes replacing fire alarm control panels and transmitters in 13 buildings, as well as installing new demarcation enclosures, transmitters, and associated communication wiring in 26 buildings. The anticipated period of performance is six months from the date of contract award. The procurement process is conducted in two phases. Phase One is evaluated on a pass or fail basis, and only responsive bidders are invited to participate in Phase Two. The final contract will be awarded to the responsive Phase Two bidder offering the lowest price. Eligibility is limited to Canadian suppliers, and bidders must provide certifications regarding their eligibility to contract with Canada. Contractual requirements include the provision of performance and labour/material payment bonds, as well as adherence to specific insurance and security clearance terms. The contract is governed by General Conditions for Construction Services, with specific amendments regarding payment legislation and dispute resolution by adjudication. Bids must be submitted electronically, and the RCMP promotes the use of direct deposit for all payments in Canadian dollars.
