Renovation of a financial development in Chehalis, Washington. Completed plans call for the renovation of a financial development.

Lewis County is seeking proposals from qualified firms to design, supply, and install a fire detection system in a former bank and office building at 2015 NE Kresky Ave in Chehalis, WA, which Lewis County is renovating into a night-by-night homeless shelter. The change of occupancy from bank to shelter will require the installation of a fire detection system, which must interact with a fire suppression system (being newly designed and installed). This Request for Proposals under RCW 39.04.290 seeks a firm to design, supply, and install an appropriate fire detection system in accordance with all requirements, and in consultation/coordination with Lewis County's architectural firm (BCRA), construction manager (Valley View), and to the extent needed the fire suppression system designer. Selection will be based on compliance with the RFP, experience, reputation, qualifications, quality of proposed service/products, ability to perform the work, speed of performance, pricing, and references. It is not the case that the lowest responsible bidder will be selected; price is only one factor among others. This project is subject to state funding requirements. The installation will be subject to prevailing wage, a 20% apprenticeship requirement, and compliance with Evergreen Sustainable Design Standards (ESDS). ESDS compliance can affect the types of materials that can be used (e.g., requirements about adhesives/sealants or insulation) and may require certain energy practices. The installer will have to supply documentation that it met the requirements.
