RFP Sprinkler Systems and Backflow Preventer Services

The City and Borough of Sitka is seeking a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive fire‑protection services for its municipal facilities. The work includes annual inspections and certifications of sprinkler systems and backflow preventers, a five‑year internal pipe inspection, and five‑year hydrostatic testing of fire‑department connections (FDC). The contractor must also perform on‑call repairs of deficiencies, maintain a $10,000 annual not‑to‑exceed repair budget, and submit detailed reports to both CBS and the Alaska State Fire Marshal. The contract is a three‑year base period with optional one‑year extensions, and pricing is evaluated primarily on fee proposals (50 % weighting). • Annual inspections of all municipal sprinkler systems and backflow preventers (July‑Oct each year). • Five‑year internal pipe inspections and FDC hydrostatic testing (first occurrence in Year 3). • On‑call deficiency repairs, with a $10,000 NTE repair budget and a 48‑hour response requirement. • Lump‑sum pricing for each scope item; the fee component accounts for half of the evaluation.
