Description

This amendment to sources sought is to add list of current equipment. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), San Francisco County, California FIRE AND SECURITY ALARM MONITORING SERVICES FOR GOLDEN GATE NATIONAL RECREATION AREA SOURCES SOUGHT 140PP027Q0017 1. Introduction: THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY- This Source Sought is solely for information and planning, as a means for the government to conduct market research, identifying interested parties and their capability to support the requirements for fire and security alarm monitoring equipment and services for NPS-occupied buildings in GGNRA.

Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) encompasses over 80,000 acres spanning three counties, and includes over 700 historic and non-historic structures. Many of these structures are NPS- and partner-occupied buildings. In accordance with NPS policies, these buildings must be monitored for life safety via fire alarm systems.

Most occupied buildings also have security alarms. Currently, alarm responses are overseen by the NPS Communications Center (Dispatch), located in the Presidio of San Francisco. The Dispatch receiving station is owned by NPS and operated by the United States Park Police.

All NPS-occupied buildings are solely monitored by Dispatch. Partners may use third-party monitoring agencies for security only, but fire alarms currently report to NPS Dispatch. Per the 2026 Condition Assessment, the current monitoring system, both hardware and software, is fully obsolete.

The park has determined that a third-party monitoring system is preferred, to ensure that hardware and software are maintained by subject matter experts: NPS Dispatch will serve as an ancillary receiving station. Also, park partners will no longer be required to report fire alarms directly to Dispatch: both fire and security alarms may be monitored by third parties, so long as notifications are also sent to NPS Dispatch.

There are approximately 110 GGNRA/NPS-occupied buildings which will require monitoring. NPS anticipates that existing alarm control panels in good condition can be maintained / reused, and that new communications units will need to be installed and monitored by a third-party vendor. POTS lines are being terminated in the park.

The park is neutral regarding the type(s) of communications units, which may radio alarm transmitters, include cellular service, or satellite: note that there are topographic challenges to communications in the park which will need to be addressed by the future vendor, particularly in Marin County. Responses to this Sources Sought will be considered and will help the Government dictate a path forward.

All business categories will be considered to include small and large businesses. 2. Place of Performance: Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), San Francisco County, California.
