Notice Title

Purchase of a fire alarm system for Lower House Farm Waste Transfer Station

Notice Description

The Council was looking to replace the existing fire alarm system at Lower House Farm Waste Transfer Station with an automatic fire detection and alarm system that fully complies with all of the standards listed within the contract documentation. The system must be designed for continuous operation in a waste management environment, including exposure to dust, vibration, moisture, temperature and vermin. Early warning/notification of a fire will support safe evacuation and increase the likelihood that the fire service can prevent significant fire damage to the property. The Council seeked a supplier who has experience of working in the waste management industry to design, install, commission and maintain the new system in accordance with all standards stated within the contract documentation. The system must: * Ensure early fire detection and notification. * Be tailored to the operational and environmental conditions of the site. * Be designed, installed, commissioned and maintained in accordance with British Standard 5839 or equivalent. * Have a warranty period of 12 months as a minimum. * Be installed without disrupting site operations, with works carried out outside of operating hours stated in Table 1 below or in close coordination with the Council so as not to disrupt the operation of the facility.
