Bulk Item: Yes X No
Department: Facilities Maintenance - Corrections
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise for bids for the purchase and installation of a fire
alarm graphics annunciation and control computer system at the Monroe County Detention Center on
Stock Island.
ITEM BACKGROUND: With life safety being of major concern within a large jail facility, it is
recommended to upgrade the existing Edward Systems Technology fire detection/alarm system. The
proposed upgrade is to incorporate a new EST, Underwriters Laboratory (U.L.) approved, graphics
annunciation and control system. The new system would relocate notification and control to a U.L.
approved computer system within the Jail's Main Control. Among many of its functions is to instantly
provide Main Control and responding firemen much more information of the exact alarm location
through cameras, graphics and text. This can supply instant confirmation while facilitating a much safer
and quicker response. The proposed system is highly supported by the local Fire Marshall's Office.
The new system would also provide the ability to monitor/control the Monroe County Sheriff's
Administration Building, new Department of Juvenile Justice facility and the Monroe County
Courthouse Annex. Cost is estimated to be between twenty-five thousand and thirty-five thousand
dollars.
