SCOPE OF WORK Katmai National Park & Preserve NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Replace Fire Alarm Systems in up to Eight Park Residence King Salmon, Alaska 6/9/2026 ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF WORK Background Katmai National Park & Preserve has acquired multiple residences from the FAA which are now utilized as park housing. The structures were all built in the late 1990s, and each residence is monitored by a single fire alarm panel that was presumably installed not long after initial construction.
