Purpose of Amendment
The purpose of this amendment is to provide responses to questions submitted regarding the solicitation. As a result of these questions and responses, the response due date will be extended to May 6, 2026.
Question: Are manufacturer-supported, UL-listed fire alarm control panels compatible with the existing devices acceptable as an alternative to the specified EST4 fire alarm control panel?
Answer: No. Compatible alternative panels will not be accepted. An Edwards EST4 fire alarm control panel is specifically required for this upgrade.

Unit 110 has 5 peripheral devices in it: 1 addressable and 2 non-addressable listed smoke detectors, 1 horn/strobe, and 1 pull station. The replacement of all peripherals in the apartment is already included elsewhere in the contract and that cost will be accounted for under that portion. 10 man hours is reasonable to do any remaining troubleshooting/repairs to correct any remaining wiring or programming problem(s).
Question: Can the government provide the historical maintenance logs or the specific trouble codes currently displayed on the EST3 panel regarding the "known MAP fault" so contractors can accurately assess the severity of the issue?
Answer: The system is annually tested, and all devices have reported to have passed all required tests.
