Description

The University of Iowa is seeking qualified vendors to provide comprehensive fire alarm testing, inspection, maintenance, and repair services across its entire campus network on an as‑needed basis. The contract will cover roughly 30,000 alarms at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics and an unspecified number of alarms in academic, residential, athletic, and dining facilities. Services include initial testing and inspection, detailed reporting of deficiencies, provision of repair quotes, execution of repairs, follow‑up inspections, and ongoing support. The agreement term is three years with two optional one‑year extensions, and vendors must be licensed in Iowa, possess NICET certifications, and comply with NFPA 72, NFPA 101, Joint Commission, and CMS standards. The University will issue multiple task orders as requests arise, and the supplier must respond promptly to emergency repairs and maintain rigorous documentation and infection‑control protocols.

Budget estimate

$4,500,000 – $7,500,000

The contract will cover approximately 30,000 fire alarms at the medical campus plus an unknown but sizable number of alarms across academic and residential buildings. Assuming an average testing/inspection cost of $45 per alarm per year (including labor, reporting, and minor repairs) yields roughly $1.35 M annually for the medical campus alone. Adding larger repair projects, parts, and the broader campus footprint could raise total annual spend to $1.5 M–$2.5 M. Over the base three‑year term, the total contract value is therefore estimated between $4.5 M and $7.5 M, with potential extensions adding up to $2 M more. Factors influencing the final amount include the frequency of emergency repairs, the extent of replacement parts needed, and any optional value‑added services the vendor provides.
