Ansul Fire Suppression System Test and Repairs

Getz Fire Equipment Co has been awarded a contract by Dixon Correctional Center, an Illinois Department of Corrections facility, valued at $10,938.69. The contract, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, is classified as an Open Market Small Purchase and covers labor and materials for comprehensive maintenance of three Ansul fire suppression systems servicing the facility's kitchen hoods.

The scope of work encompasses full twelve-year hydrostatic testing and remediation services on the North Production Hood (15-gallon system), Culinary Hood (6-gallon system), and South Production Hood (3-gallon system), with all work commencing after July 1, 2026. Services include removal and hydrostatic testing of system tanks, replacement of cartridges, O-rings, and burst discs, replacement of eighteen aluminum link holders with stainless steel Underwriters Laboratories-listed components, replacement of four clogged duct nozzles, reconfiguration of griddle nozzle drops, and installation of bursting disc union assemblies on manifolded tank sets. Upon completion, all systems must be verified to operate in accordance with manufacturer specifications, Underwriters Laboratories 300 requirements, and applicable National Fire Protection Association standards. The work addresses code deficiencies and addresses a maintenance backlog, as these systems were last tested in 2014.
