RFQ - Water Mist Fire Suppression Testing and Inspection

Tennessee Technological University seeks a qualified contractor to perform periodic testing, inspection, and maintenance of its Vortex 1500 hybrid water‑mist/nitrogen fire‑suppression system across campus facilities. The work includes mandatory annual and five‑year inspections, optional semi‑annual inspections, hose hydrostatic testing, and verification of fire‑alarm integration, all in accordance with Victaulic V‑1500 manuals and NFPA 770. The contractor must submit separate pricing for each inspection tier; the contract runs for five years with a one‑year price‑lock and may be terminated by TTU with 30‑day notice. • Perform semi‑annual, annual, and five‑year inspections of the hybrid fire‑suppression system, documenting compliance with NFPA 770. • Conduct hose hydrostatic testing (≤ 5 years) and verify fire‑alarm‑to‑release signaling during each visit. • Provide all labor (no parts or replacement components) and deliver formal inspection reports; pricing is evaluated on a total‑cost basis (lowest bid wins).
