Notice of Intent: Monaco fire alarm for Manufacturing Lab Addition Between B331 B332 and Renovations, Lakehurst Naval Base, Joint Base-MDL, New Jersey

Ntoice of Intent announcement to:

A. To notify potential Offerors of the Governments intent to solicit a brand name(s) only component for this project. B. To identify potential sources that can provide an equivalent to the brand name only item. C. Notification of the Army’s intent to solicit brand name components as described below. Monaco Fire Alarm System (estimated TOTAL cost = $315,000):

(1) MSBL124029 Additive Lab B331/B332 Renovations (estimated cost = $45,000):

(2) MSBL223000 EV Charging Infrastructure (estimated cost = $45,000):

(3) PN 104300 UAS Warehouse (estimated cost = $45,000): Currently, all buildings at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst requiring fire alarm and mass notification are provided with the Monaco MAAP-X fire alarm/mass notification panel and associated alarm signaling equipment. This system utilizes the Monaco MAAP-X transceiver to communicate with the Monaco D21 system at the Fire Department, which is a closed source system that utilizes proprietary communication protocols.

The Base Fire Protection Standards requires that all buildings on base shall have a Monaco addressable fire alarm system. Each of the projects listed above will require a MAAP (+) with integral transceiver since it is fire alarm only. If Monaco systems are not used, then the fire alarm panel and associated alarm signaling equipment will not be able to communicate with the base reporting system.

This will jeopardize the safety of the building occupants since the fire department will not be able to assist in a timely manner if a fire arises. Monaco MAAP X or MAAP (+) panels are therefore necessary in order to ensure compatibility with the current installation-wide network.

Attempting to integrate parts outside the current network poses unacceptable risks, because it would negatively affect the system’s ability to maintain proper communication with each of the projects fire protection system and the rest of the joint base, risking the lives of occupants in the case of a fire.
