FIRE SAFETY MWa had circulated Trustees with Fire Alarm quotes which covered two systems for an integrated fire alarm system for the centre. Hardwired or Wire less. Three companies had been contacted and they had each quoted for the two systems. After lengthy discussion it was proposed that the Hard Wired integrated system utilised and the Trustees present agreed that the Lock Centre (Bognor Regis) be the preferred supplier. Quoted price was: £9,547.04 +VAT. MWa commented that the Lock Centre had indicated that the cost was negotiable and he would contact them with a request that they could review the price. There was also the necessary need to fit a number of fire doors both external and internal with an estimated cost of up to £5,000.00.
