RFI-Fire Alarm Notification and Software Retrofit

California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) is requesting proposals from qualified firms specializing in Fire Alarm Notification Hardware and Software Upgrade. The primary focus of this project is to consolidate all campus buildings to feed their fire alarm panels into one singular software system. The scope of work includes retrofitting buildings, converting existing systems, identifying a replacement for the Simplex consoles radio receiver portion, and identifying a sustainable singular software platform. 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 project involves multiple initiatives and objectives, including the removal of the Simplex console and sunsetting of the SIMS software and related server. • The project requires a single, intuitive, and user-friendly software solution supporting both on-site and remote monitoring capabilities. • The project involves the integration of existing campus systems and infrastructure. • The project requires compliance with current industry standards for secure communication, data encryption, user access management, logging, and alerting.
