Crook County High School Fire Alarm System Upgrade

2026-11-03

Purpose : The purpose of this project is to replace the existing fire alarm system at Crook County High School ( CCHS ), which has exceeded its useful service life and is no longer fully supportable . Several system components are obsolete and no longer commercially available , requiring the purchase of used or refurbished devices to maintain functionality . Additionally , the current system is proprietary , limiting service and repair to a single certified contractor located in the Portland metropolitan area , resulting in increased costs , extended response times , and operational risk . This project will upgrade the fire alarm system to a modern , non - proprietary platform that complies with current fire and life safety codes . The upgrade will improve system reliability , ensure long - term availability of replacement parts , and allow future maintenance , repairs , and modifications to be performed by qualified district staff or local contractors . The project reduces dependency on specialized vendors while enhancing safety , operational flexibility , and long - term cost control for the district . Scope : The scope of this project includes the complete replacement of the existing proprietary Simplex fire alarm system at Crook County High School with a new , fully code - compliant , nonproprietary Potter fire alarm system . Work shall include , but is not limited to , the following : 1 . Fire Alarm Control Equipment o Remove the existing Simplex fire alarm control panel . o Furnish and install a new non - proprietary Potter fire alarm control panel . o Relocate the new fire alarm control panel to the adjacent storage room . o Install a Potter annunciator panel at the existing fire alarm panel location . 2 . System Infrastructure and Power o Replace all required fire alarm power supplies , NAC panels , and annunciator panels with compatible Potter equipment . o Ensure all system components are fully integrated and function as a single coordinated system . 3 . Device Replacement o Replace all existing fire alarm initiating and notification devices with Pottercompatible equipment , including :  Smoke detectors  Heat detectors  Duct smoke detectors  Strobes and horn / strobe devices o Replace existing smoke detectors with combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors where applicable ...
