The document outlines a project at the Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument aimed at reactivating and repairing the non-functional fire suppression system. Prepared by Nora Katz, the project is categorized under PEPC Project ID 121815 and is tied to mapping and architectural plans created for visitor services expansion during a public outreach meeting in March 2023. It includes various elevations and engineering drawings by Lord Aeck Sargent that detail the fire sprinkler systems throughout different areas of the home, such as the living room, bedrooms, kitchen, and hallway. This effort underscores the importance of safety adherence and operational functionality for preserving the historical site. The project is aligned with federal funding initiatives aimed at restoring and maintaining significant cultural landmarks, ensuring public safety, and enhancing visitor experiences.
The National Park Service is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the reactivation and repair of the fire suppression system at the historic Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument. The current system, installed in the 1990s, is non-operational, posing a risk to the site's historic integrity. The project entails testing the existing system, repairing any damages, draining and flushing the sprinkler system, and converting the existing system to an antifreeze setup. The contract will be awarded based on the best value, considering price, technical ability, and past performance. Interested contractors must provide documentation proving their capability, including a list of relevant past projects, and must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). A site visit is scheduled for January 27, 2025. The deadline for questions is January 31, 2025, and quotes are due by February 7, 2025. The project emphasizes the protection of this historically significant site while ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations.
