Boone County Jail Fire Alarm Replacement

The Boone County Jail in Burlington, KY is seeking qualified contractors to replace its aging fire alarm system. The project requires removal of existing devices, installation of a new fire alarm control panel, remote annunciators, detectors, pull stations, and associated wiring (with conduit in wet areas). Existing horn strobes remain, and the system must integrate with the jail’s smoke evacuation and HVAC override functions. Work must be performed in phases while the current system stays operational, and all personnel must pass background checks. The county will provide security escorts, a standalone computer for reporting, and will cover permit fees. A two‑year warranty on parts and workmanship is required. • Replace fire alarm control panel, remote annunciators, power boosters, expanders, software, relay modules, wireless bridge, dual‑monitor module, smoke/heat detectors, pull stations, monitor modules, and wireless communicator. • Install new wiring (conduit in laundry/shower areas) and integrate with existing horn strobes. • Perform phased installation with simultaneous operation of old and new systems; conduct pre‑test and final inspection with the Authority Having Jurisdiction. • Provide shop drawings, parts list, submittals, and a 2‑year warranty. • Must comply with all safety, insurance, and background‑check requirements; county supplies security escorts and a computer for reporting. • Submission deadline: October 19 2026, 2:00 pm (electronic). Mandatory pre‑proposal meeting on October 13 2026, 9:00 am.
