Description

Kern County seeks scheduled inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire sprinkler systems at County facilities, including quarterly, annual, and five-year services as applicable. The scope also includes standpipes, fire pumps, and two FM-200 clean-agent systems, with semiannual visual inspections and annual functional testing. Work includes code-compliant testing and reporting, system tagging and restoration, and prompt written notice of deficiencies; repairs require separate County review and written approval. Fire Department locations receive annual and five-year inspections, while the Fire Department performs their own quarterly inspections. Bidders must price each requested schedule item separately; bundled pricing is prohibited. The County requires a current California C-16 contractor license and at least five years of company experience. The initial service period is January 1 through December 31, 2027, and the agreement may be extended by mutual agreement for up to five years. The County estimates annual spending of approximately $250,000, but does not guarantee that amount of purchases. The award is expected to go to the overall low bidder meeting the specifications, with the possibility of split awards. Three customer references for similar work performed within the past two years are required.
