Fire Safety Services

Dakota County is issuing a set of RFQs to obtain qualified contractors for a comprehensive fire‑safety services program covering the 2027‑2029 period. The program includes four distinct but related scopes: (1) on‑call fire‑alarm system repair services, (2) annual fire‑alarm system inspections, (3) fire‑extinguisher inspection, testing, and repair/re‑charge, and (4) bi‑annual inspection and repair of chemical fire‑suppression systems. All work will be performed at numerous county facilities throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area, with contractors required to provide after‑hours coverage, maintain NICET Level 1 and Power‑Limited Technician licensing, and meet extensive insurance and security‑badge requirements. The total ceiling for the combined contracts is $175,000 over three years, with a firm submission deadline of October 28 2026. • Provide labor, materials, travel, and any subcontractor services for fire‑alarm repairs, fire‑alarm inspections, fire‑extinguisher inspections/repairs, and chemical fire‑alarm inspections/repairs across >50 county sites. • Must maintain at least two qualified technicians (NICET Level 1, Power‑Limited Technician license) within 100 mi of Hastings, MN, and be able to respond to service‑level categories ranging from “Low” to “Emergency” (≤ 4 hours). • Contractors must secure workers’ compensation, commercial general liability, professional liability, automobile liability, and network‑security liability coverage, submit background‑check documentation for badge issuance, and comply with Minnesota BCA Vendor Screening for any work involving Criminal Justice Information.
