This is a comprehensive Excel spreadsheet listing backflow testing requirements for City of Battle Creek municipal buildings and facilities. The document details an Invitation for Bid (IFB# 2026-019B) for annual backflow testing across 71 different devices and systems located at various city-owned properties, including city halls, departments, parks, pumping stations, fire stations, waste water treatment plants, and an airport office. The contract is anticipated to span up to five years, covering multiple types of backflow prevention devices such as Reduced Pressure Backflow Preventers (RPBP), Pressure Vacuum Breakers (PVB), and Double Check Valves (DCV) for fire protection, lawn sprinkler, boiler, and containment systems.

The spreadsheet meticulously tracks each device's details, including service address, device code, protection description, size, serial number, last test status, last test date, and the person responsible for the testing. Of the 71 listed devices, several have failed previous tests, indicating a critical need for comprehensive backflow testing and maintenance. Devices range in size from 0 to 8 inches, with testing responsibilities distributed among city personnel like John Hart, Chris Pratt, Katie Norton, Todd Everson, and others. The testing appears to be primarily municipal infrastructure maintenance, with no specific pricing information disclosed in this document.
