RFI-Fire Alarm Notification and Software Retrofit

The California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) is seeking information from qualified firms specializing in Fire Alarm Notification Hardware and Software Upgrade. The university aims to consolidate all campus buildings into a single software system, removing the existing Simplex console and SIMS software. The project involves retrofitting buildings, identifying a replacement for the Simplex consoles radio receiver portion, and finding a sustainable singular software platform. The key requirements include design, installation services, testing and fault detection, project management, unified software platform, cybersecurity, system integration, data analytics, customization and scalability, redundancy and disaster recovery, and continued support of software and firmware. • The current fire alarm system is obsolete and no longer supported, with parts being difficult to find and no redundancy built in. • The university is looking for a single, intuitive, and user-friendly software solution that supports both on-site and remote monitoring capabilities. • The solution should be able to display real-time data for equipment status, active alarms, and performance metrics. • The university requires a system that can seamlessly integrate with existing campus systems and infrastructure. • The solution should have embedded analytics tools for predictive maintenance, performance optimization, and energy efficiency assessment.
