The Indianapolis Airport Authority awarded a contract to New Era Technology to upgrade and manage the terminal fire alarm system in an amount not to exceed $917,017.

Staff said the existing Edwards EST3 system is no longer produced; the upgrade to Edwards EST4 will replace 34 fire panels and two operator workstations, and includes three years of service, maintenance and testing. The project is in the approved capital budget and bids came in under budget. New Era Technology was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

During the roll-call vote the board approved the award; one board member, Kurt Schleeder, registered an abstention on the item as recorded in the transcript. The motion passed with the abstention noted.

The upgrade replaces aging, unsupported equipment and establishes a three-year service agreement. Staff will proceed with contract execution and schedule implementation per capital project timelines.
