The document is a cost sheet for the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) soliciting fire sprinkler and fire extinguisher services across multiple correctional facilities in Lincoln, Omaha, York, and Tecumseh. The contract seeks comprehensive annual inspection, testing, maintenance, and service for fire sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers, with an initial two-year term and options for two additional two-year renewals. Services will cover various facility types including administrative areas, housing units, kitchens, maintenance facilities, and medical units, with work to be performed during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM), and provisions for emergency after-hours services. The proposal submission deadline is March 19, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with electronic submission required via ShareFile.

The cost sheet requires bidders to provide all-inclusive pricing, including service fees, salaries, wages, prevailing wages, payroll taxes, benefits, and insurance, with no additional billing permitted. Pricing must remain fixed for the initial two-year contract period, with subsequent price increases limited to 5% per contract period and requiring 120 days advance written notice. The solicitation includes preferences for resident disabled veterans and businesses in enterprise zones, potentially offering competitive advantages. Bidders must meet strict insurance requirements, including $2 million in Commercial General Liability and $1 million in Commercial Automobile Liability. The current inventory includes over 500 fire extinguishers, predominantly ABC-type units from manufacturers like Amerex, Badger, and Buckeye, ranging in size from 2.5 to 20 pounds. Contractors will be subject to background security checks due to the correctional environment's sensitive nature.
