Carl B. Stokes Federal Building & U.S. Courthouse Fire Alarm Replacement

The General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service intends to award a firm-fixed-price, design-build contract to replace the fire alarm system at the Carl B. Stokes Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Cleveland, Ohio. The project involves replacing the main fire alarm control panel, repairing or replacing system components, and relocating smoke detectors to comply with required separation distances from HVAC equipment. Additionally, the contractor will address pressurization issues in the stairwells and library atrium to ensure proper egress. The procurement is classified under NAICS 238210, Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors, and PSC N063, Installation of Equipment- Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems.

This acquisition is being conducted as a full and open competition using a two-phase, negotiated best value selection process. The estimated cost of the project ranges between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000, and the GSA will provide a $22,390.00 stipend to a maximum of two unsuccessful short-listed offerors in Phase 2 who meet the proposal requirements. The selected contractor must provide all management, supervision, labor, equipment, and supplies necessary to complete the work in accordance with GSA Public Buildings Service Core Buildings Standards.

The solicitation, identified by number 47PB5226R0013, is scheduled for release in late June 2026. While the contract award is anticipated in June 2027, the substantial completion of the project is projected for November 2030. Neal Deodhar serves as the primary point of contact for this requirement at the Carl B. Stokes U.S. Courthouse.
