120488 O3 Cost Sheet.docx

The document is a Cost Sheet (120488 O3) for Fire Sprinkler & Fire Extinguisher Services issued by the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS). The solicitation seeks a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive fire safety services across multiple correctional facilities in Lincoln, Omaha, York, and Tecumseh, covering annual inspections, testing, maintenance, and services for fire sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers. The contract will have an initial two-year term with options for two additional two-year renewal periods. Services must be performed during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM), with provisions for emergency after-hours services. The proposal is due electronically via ShareFile by March 19, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with bidders able to respond to some or all services and locations.

The cost sheet requires all-inclusive pricing for services, including parts, labor, taxes, and insurance, with no additional billing permitted. Bidders must provide percentage discounts on miscellaneous sprinkler and extinguisher parts, hourly rates for after-hours services, and per-unit pricing for various fire extinguisher types and sizes. The solicitation includes specific preferences for resident disabled veterans and businesses in enterprise zones, with potential competitive advantages. Insurance requirements are stringent, including Workers' Compensation and Commercial General Liability coverage. The contract limits future price increases to 5% per period and requires 120 days advance written notice. While no specific contract value is stated, the comprehensive nature of the service covering multiple facilities suggests a significant potential contract value, with the current inventory primarily consisting of ABC-type fire extinguishers from manufacturers like Amerex, Badger, and Buckeye.
