The project consists of a 10-story mixed-use building consisting of 384 studio apartment units. Approximately 20,800 gross square feet of second floor office space, and approximately 2 1, 135 gross square feet of ground floor retail or service use space. SCOPE OF WORK Base Bid: Portland State University (PSU or Owner) is seeking proposals to replace the existing Simplex, voice evacuation fire alarm system in BDWY with a new Notifier, voice evacuation fire alarm system. This will be a one to one system replacement. The winning Contractor will be expected to coordinate with the Portland Fire Marshall and the Owner's team (Project Manager, Fire Specialist Team, and Housing Department). The winning Contractor will also need to provide all permitting, and provide physical and digital copies of final record drawings to the Owner. BDWY is constantly occupied. The building contains offices, classrooms, dormitories, and retail spaces that are all a part of this Scope of Work. A major component of this project will be scheduling work in advance and coordinating with the Owner's team in an effort to keep impacts to occupants at a minimum. The Owner's goal is to have construction occur during November 2025 and for testing and inspection to occur over Winter Break (December 15th through December 30th of 2025). While the Owner will provide existing information, it is the winning Contractor's responsibility to know all local and national codes and to provide everything required to have a complete and functional Notifier fire alarm system that at minimum satisfies all applicable codes and meets the standards of the Authority Having Jurisdiction. If anything is determined to be out of code, coordinate with PSU to get it up to code. Additive Alternate No. 01: Replace the 120V smoke detectors in each area with notifier smoke detectors.
