Work must finish within 120 calendar days of notice to proceed. The job is a 100% small business set-aside, with an estimated magnitude of $250,000 to $500,000, and the notice was posted in 2016.
Watch out for
- Site visit planned. A pre-proposal site visit will be held, and bidders are expected to know the site conditions; not knowing them will not justify a price increase.
A pre-proposal/site visit will be conducted.
- Missing an amendment can disqualify you. There is no advance notice of amendments, and failing to acknowledge one can make a bid ineligible.
Failure to acknowledge amendments may render your bid ineligible for award.
- Specific product line required. The work calls for Velociti-Series addressable devices and programming of existing Apollo-Series systems, so fire alarm experience is needed.
Replace existing Apollo-Series software protocol devices with new Velociti-Series addressable devices.
- Old notice. This was posted in 2016 and refers to FedBizOpps, so it may be long closed.
