USCG BASE KODIAK UPGRADING THE CURRENT FIRE ALARM SYSTEM KFRA-C RECEIVERS TO MCR2 RECEIVERS

The U.S. Coast Guard intends to award a sole source contract to Kingfisher Company, Inc. for upgrading the current fire alarm system at USCG Base Kodiak, Alaska. The project involves replacing the current KFRA-C receivers with MCR2 receivers, which are no longer supported and have parts that are no longer available from the manufacturer. The contractor will be responsible for purchasing, installing, programming, and completing the upgrades. The estimated total value of the contract is $94,183.77. • The current fire alarm system is a Kingfisher fire alarm/notification system, which is the base-wide fire alarm notification system for Base Kodiak. • The current receivers are no longer supported and have parts that are no longer available from the manufacturer. • The receivers are currently operating with impairments and continue to degrade, and if they fail, Base Kodiak's emergency alarm monitoring will be severely hindered. • The contractor must have previous knowledge of the specific system configuration, design, and operation of Base Kodiak. • The contractor must be able to purchase, install, program, and complete the upgrades, including programming and complete database migration.
