This solicitation calls for the design, fabrication, delivery, and installation of a mobile fire‑training simulator housed in a new ISO 48 ft × 8 ft × 8.5 ft container on a DOT‑compliant chassis.

Evaluation will consider experience, price, service, and references, each weighted. • Scope: full container conversion, structural steel work, welding, fire‑training systems, delivery and on‑site assembly. • Technical requirements: NFPA 1402 compliance, AWS D1.1‑certified welders, PE involvement, $250 k liability insurance. • Timeline: proposals due 24 Oct 2023, award expected Nov 2023, delivery 7‑10 months post‑award, training within two weeks of delivery.

Contract value

$750,000

The solicitation does not disclose a dollar ceiling, but similar mobile training simulators—including a modified ISO container, DOT‑compliant chassis, fire‑training systems, engineering design, and warranty—typically range from $500,000 to $1,000,000. Factoring material costs (container, steel, firefighting equipment), labor (welding, engineering, assembly), delivery, and the required one‑day trainer course, a midpoint estimate of roughly $750,000 is reasonable. This estimate also accounts for the 7‑10 month fabrication schedule and the high‑spec safety certifications required.
