AHEC-21910-B - AFB (Competitive Sealed Best Value) - King Center Fire Alarm System Replacement

The Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) is seeking a Fire Alarm Contractor to perform full Fire Alarm and Associated Installation Services for the King Center Fire Alarm System Project.  Base Drawings and Specification, dated 2/15/21, by incandescence life safety, inc. and Scope of Work dated 2/16/2021 must be used for this project.  Awarded Contractor will be required to submit shop drawings to Denver Fire Department, the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

AHEC has received controlled maintenance funding through House Bill 1408 to replace the fire alarm system in the King Center building located at 855 Lawrence Way, Denver, CO, on the Auraria Campus. 

The King Center was built in 2001, the fire alarm system is original, and has exceeded its life expectancy.  The King Center is a mixed-use building consisting of administrative spaces, classrooms, auditoriums, performance venues, and support spaces. The building is five levels with mezzanines and a rooftop penthouse/elevator machine room with an area of roughly 192,700 gsf.

AHEC anticipates replacing this existing fire system with a system that is fully compatible with the existing campus Notifier alarm network.

The process to be used in the selection of a Fire Alarm Contractor is the Competitive Sealed Best Value Bidding method comprised of two steps - see attachments.
