Description
This contract will bring all of University of St Andrews’ Fire alarm systems including Fire Hydrants and Refuge systems under one contract. All university premises are situated in St Andrews and Guardbridge.
Total Quantity or Scope
The contractor MUST have as a minimum GENT 24 Technology Centre status, which will be independently verified on the GENT by Honeywell website and must be accredited to BAFE SP203 Pt 1&3. Each engineer must be qualified to recognised Fire Industry standards (for example BAFE/ FIA Qualifications covering Design, Install, Maintenance and Commissioning) and have experience of Gent Vigilon panels and be able to fault find and program on these panels. All staff working on the fire alarm systems MUST be employees of the successful contractor and are not to be sub-contractors. The contractor shall be staffed to ensure that the requirements of this contract can be complied with at all times. Tenderers must be experienced in using the Connected Life Safety System CLSS from Honeywell which the University uses across the campus for monitoring and recording services. The system is to be used to maintain the University assets within working life setting and the successful contractor should demonstrate compliance with this. Following device replacements, the CLSS system must be refreshed/synched to reflect the new/replaced device. Each planned preventative maintenance visit will be recorded on the Gent CLSS system, to ensure full compliance with all items being tested annually. All engineers must be fully conversant with the CLSS system and comply fully with this process, as non-recording of planned preventative maintenance will be deemed as non-compliance with the contract. The successful contractor should manage the system through this and provide the University with future costs to replace items identified as requiring replacement or coming up for replacement. For each maintenance visit the University will require a schedule created showing the planned visits to each site, this must be provided to allow the buildings to be made aware of the proposed visits. This should be followed up with a call to the University Estates Helpdesk to confirm they are finished on each site. The University require the contractor to competently operate and maintain the systems listed and have the proper resources in place for replacement of parts not supplied by themselves. The contractor is to create a full schedule for all the systems that have batteries and give a full plan for the replacement of these batteries within manufacturers recommended life expectancy. This schedule should be costed up and maintained and issued to Estates prior to the start of the contract and on the contract anniversary. The requirement includes the annual testing and inspection of our fire hydrants (25 off) at the North Haugh, (3 off) at DRA and at our Eden Campus (10 off). Full details in Procurement documents.
