The Division of Facilities Development, hereinafter termed DFD, hereby announces that it is advertising for bids from certified contractors for the above project. All potential bidders must become certified by DOA prior to submitting bids on state construction projects with budgets over $50,000. All bids received from contractors who are not certified will be rejected. These changes take effect January 1, 2014. In general the work consists of: replacement of an obsolete Simplex 4100 fire alarm head end equipment with a compatible new system. After the new head end equipment is installed, the contractor shall perform device replacement of deficiencies identified during the field survey or yearly testing reports. The contractor shall begin with head end replacement, including the completion of all programming, functional testing, and inspections prior to device replacement. The contractor shall then begin initiating and notification device replacement for the remediation of deficiencies in coverage, intelligibility, or monitoring in the building by the addition, replacement or relocation of devices. It is assumed all issues identified during the field survey or in yearly testing reports will be resolved during this phase of work. The 2017-2019 Wisconsin State Budget (2017 Wisconsin Act 59) repealed Wisconsins prevailing wage laws. Effective September 23, 2017, state prevailing wage requirements on state building projects no longer apply. These changes take effect for projects advertised for bid after September 23, 2017. This change does not affect the Federal Davis Bacon Act requirements.
