The Central Texas Veterans Health Care System (CTVHCS) Temple and Waco, TX is looking for Contractors that are Small Businesses (SDVOSB, VOSB, 8a, Woman Owned, etc.) and have the capability to provide fire alarm and fire suppression systems inspection and testing services. It is the intent to issue a Solicitation as a SDVOSB/VOSB Set-Aside. However, if there aren t two (2) or more SDVOSB/VOSB s available and capable of providing the needed services, then the Solicitation will be issued as a Total Small Business Set-Aside. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, transportation, equipment, supplies, facilities, supervision, other items and non-personal services necessary to perform fire alarm and fire suppression inspections and testing as defined in this Statement of Work. The Contractor assumes all liability risks for work performed under this contract. The Contractor shall assume total liability for all contract employees. All services shall be performed in accordance with all applicable National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes, local codes, and manufacturer s recommended procedures. The purpose of this contract is to provide comprehensive life safety fire alarm and suppression systems inspections and testing for Temple and Waco campuses in CTVHCS. This includes quarterly, semi-annual, annual, and five and six-year testing requirements of all life safety systems except portable fire extinguishers, to include fire alarms, suppression systems, fire sprinklers, won doors, fire curtains, dampers and hydrants. This work will not be totally sub-contracted without approval from the CO and COR and the Contractor will ensure all work is performed with on-site supervision by a competent person for either alarm or suppression inspection/testing. If these time frames differ, the vendor will comply with the most restrictive requirement. Full inspection of Fire Sprinkler/Suppression Systems: The services to be provided by the Contractor under this agreement shall consist of Fire Sprinkler and Suppression System Inspections at the Temple and Waco VA sites testing in accordance with NFPA 25, Chapter 5 and Joint Commission requirements within stipulated time frames, maintain on site documentation and reports for periodic inspections from outside entities, conduct quarterly on-site reviews of documentation and furnish all materials associated with inspection activities. Inspections include: Inspection of pre-action, deluge, wet/dry systems, fire pumps, back flows, FDC, valves, kitchen suppression, gaseous or clean agent systems, hydrants, main drains, PIV's, hydrants, standpipes, jockey pumps, antifreeze loops, high/low level alarms, water flows and tampers. All inspections will be performed in accordance with NFPA 25 or JCAHO standards. Moves, additions and changes are not included in the agreement Full Inspection and Testing of Life Safety Systems: The contractor will include inspections and testing on fire alarm panels, smoke detection shut down devices, automatic door release, batteries and peripheral devices tied to contractor's panels. Water flows and tamper switches will be inspected as well. At a minimum, NFPA 72, 101, 25, 13, 99 and 70E will be followed. Some items will be required more frequently than the code requires.
