The Agency hereby provides notice that it intends to enter into a sole source contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1560 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

Coastal Carolina University must replace the existing fire alarm system in the BC Wetlands facility with a new Siemens DESIGO voice‑capable fire alarm control panel to meet current code requirements and restore full life‑safety protection. The building is currently on fire watch until a compliant fire alarm system is installed.

The replacement system must integrate directly with the University’s existing Siemens DESIGO Building Management System (BMS) to ensure centralized monitoring, alarm visibility, and coordinated response across campus facilities. Compatibility with the existing Siemens infrastructure is required to maintain system reliability and life‑safety compliance.
