Full description

Nature of Requirements:

The following is a summary of the statement of work for this requirement.

The Correctional Service Canada has a requirement to replace existing Siemens MXL Fire Alarms panels in ten (10) locations at Collins Bay Institution in Kingston, Ontario. This project is to upgrade the panels through the migration of Siemens MXL to the Desigo Modular system to maintain compliance monitoring and detection with the institution’s fire alarm and detection systems.

The new Desigo Modular fire panel system is “Backward Compatible” which means it can successfully use interfaces and data from, and work seamlessly with, the existing detection components, allowing the straightforward replacement of the MXL System. All existing detection components already installed in the selected buildings in Collins Bay, will operate directly with the new panels. As well, three (3) display panels require upgrading at the Minimum unit and a PAD Bell Booster panel in CBA10 at Collins Bay Institution.

Objectives: Provide the most up to date fire safety for staff and inmates of Collins Bay Institution.
