2. PROJECT OVERVIEW

The DOI/BOR is preparing for a potential procurement to A SimplexGrinnell 4100U Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) at Folsom Dam and Simplex 4020 Alarm Control Panel at Nimbus Powerplant have been in service at Folsom since 1990. Both panels have been showing trouble alarms and not been working properly. The efforts were made by plant and Folsom maintenance personnel to troubleshoot the problem and repairs. Central California Area Office (CCAO) has put in a lot work hours to resolve the issue but has not been successful. The panels are very old and CCAO has decide to upgrade and replace the panels.

This is an urgent action. There is not an active system to notify personnel on site of a fire event (no audible alarm), or any remote communication to notify us of an event during off hours. CCAO will like to upgrade/replace these panels so that new FACPs communicate with all the devices including audibles and communicate with Central California Area Office (CCAO)/Central Valley Operations (CVO) via our SCADA system Central Valley Automated Control System (CVACS) in the event of any fire alarm/event.
