B.2 STATEMENT OF WORK

Fire Sprinkler System Inspections: Perform annual, semi-annual, and quarterly fire sprinkler system inspections per NFPA 25, all appropriate chapters, for all components of the fire sprinkler systems located at the VA Medical Center, Boise, Idaho, in accordance with this scope of work. Operation of all components of the fire sprinkler systems shall be inspected to verify that they function as intended. The frequency and scope of the inspection shall be in accordance with the latest edition of NFPA codes and standards (NFPA 10, 25, 72, 80, and 96) unless otherwise stated in this scope of work.

Inspect supervisory signal devices; vane-type and pressure-type water flow devices and valve tamper switches; main drains; and fire department water supply connections in accordance with relevant Joint Commission standards and NFPA code. Inspect the sprinkler control valves for proper position, general condition, accessibility, and appropriate signage. Inspect and perform required water-flow tests for each system from main drain and inspector’s test valve. Inspect the Fire Department connection couplings, caps, threads, clappers, check valves, and drains. Inspect and test the fire sprinkler alarm components connected to the fire sprinkler system. Check the reserve supply of sprinkler heads. Inspect the general condition of visible and accessible sprinkler system piping, hangers, drain valves, gauges, and related equipment. Test low-pressure alarms, supervisory circuits, and auxiliary functions for proper operation. Review the customer’s general storage and stock arrangements for combustibles in relation to fire sprinkler system protection. Tag devices as required and perform required record keeping per NFPA. Fire protection system components shall be restored to full operational condition following testing including reinstallation of plugs and caps for auxiliary drains and test valves. During all testing and maintenance, water supplies shall remain in service unless impairment procedures contained in Chapter 13 of NFPA 25 are followed. Contractor is required to station a person at the Building 50 Fire Alarm Panel to immediately silence the panels whenever their inspections will cause the fire alarm system to annunciate alarms or trouble messages.

Compile a draft report of the inspections within two weeks of the inspections. The report must be named in a manner that clearly identifies it as a Sprinkler Inspection report, must comply with NFPA reporting requirements, and must contain a summary of all deficiencies. The report must be formatted so that a single report is provided for each building, includes all required inspection elements for that building, and does not include extraneous information that is outside of the inspection’s scope (e.g., fire alarm pull stations should not be included in a fire sprinkler report.) A final electronic copy and a final hard copy of the report must be provided within one month of the inspections.

Discuss findings and make recommendation for corrective action, including bids to correct deficiencies.

Provide an itemized quote for work to correct deficiencies noted during the inspection. Boise VA Medical Center employees will review the itemized quote and decide which repairs and alterations they would like the vendor to perform. The vendor will only bill for work that the VA authorizes.

Update the inventory of devices associated with the Fire Sprinkler Systems after each semi-annual inspection. Add devices that are not currently listed but are observed during inspection. If a device has been removed, communicate with the Safety Office to determine if the device was missing, disabled, or intentionally removed.

The contractor is to sign in upon arrival at the site at Building 50, Facility Management Service, to obtain a contractor badge and fire sprinkler keys to conduct the inspection. The contractor is to supply the necessary manpower to conduct the inspection, continuously silence necessary components while testing, and assure the system is fully functional prior to leaving the facility. The contractor will coordinate inspection dates and times with the Safety Office and the Admitting clerk so that false alarms are not transmitted to the Boise City Fire Department. Annual and semi-annual inspections are to be conducted during November and May. Quarterly inspections of fire department water supply connections shall be conducted in November, February, May, and August.. All inspections must be scheduled in advance with the Safety Office.

Fire Hydrant Annual Inspection/Flow: Perform an annual fire hydrant flush in accordance with NFPA 291 (latest edition); Flow the hydrant for at least one minute; Perform a full cycle of the underground valve in line with each fire hydrant; Check hydrant seals and oil reserves; lubricate the stem, cap, and plug; and check for proper drainage of the barrel. This work must be conducted in May and must be scheduled in advance with the Safety Department.

Post Indicator Valve Exercise: Fully exercise all Post Indicator Valves quarterly, in November, February, May and August,, in conjunction with annual/semi-annual sprinkler inspections and quarterly inspections of fire department water supply connections.

Fire Extinguisher Annual Inspections: Perform annual service and inspection of all fire extinguishers at the Boise VAMC. Inspections are to be in accordance with all applicable requirements of NFPA 10, Appendix A. Inspections are to be conducted in March and shall be scheduled with the Safety Office.

Upon arriving on station shall, contractor will be required to pick up a visitor's badge and keys in the FMS Office, building 50.

If during the inspection, removal of a fire extinguisher from the facility is required, temporary replacements will be provided by the contractor at no extra cost. When testing has been completed, the contractor will ensure that the original fire extinguisher is placed in the same location that it was in prior to testing.

The contractor will affix to each fire extinguisher a tag indicating the date of inspection and name or initials of the inspector.

The Contractor will appropriately tag each fire extinguisher. The tag will indicate the date of inspection and name or initials of the inspector and will include a formatted area to document monthly fire extinguisher inspections. The tag will be placed in the same location as the current tag. If hole punches are used to indicate the date of inspection, the hole punches will be complete. The previous tag will be removed from the fire extinguisher, and the new tag, secured. The three MRI-safe non-ferrous fire extinguishers tags will be attached using non-ferrous materials.

The contractor/inspector shall furnish a report of the inspection to the Safety Office within 30 days of the inspection. The report shall provide the following information: Extinguisher model/type/size; MFR Date; Serial #; Location; Service Performed; Next Hydro Test Due Date; Next 6-year Due Date; and any additional notes pertinent to the inspection.

Fire Extinguisher Hydrostatic Testing and Six-Year Maintenance:

The contractor will perform Hydrostatic testing and six-year maintenance on those fire extinguishers that will be due for testing/maintenance prior to the next annual inspection. Hydrostatic testing and six-year maintenance will be performed according to the frequency established by NFPA 10 (latest edition). Hydrostatic testing is required for ABC and clean agent fire extinguishers every twelve years, and for K, Water, CO2, and non-ferrous fire extinguishers every five years. Each hydrostatic test must include an internal maintenance inspection. In addition, six-year internal maintenance is required for ABC and clean-agent fire extinguishers.

The contractor will charge the Boise VAMC a set price for (1) each ABC and Clean Agent fire extinguisher that receives a six-year internal maintenance inspection (2) each ABC and Clean Agent fire extinguisher that receives a Hydrostatic test, and (3) all other fire extinguisher that receives a 5 year Inspection and Hydrostatic test. The contractor will include, with their bid, the per fire extinguisher price of each. The Boise VAMC will include in the contract award price adequate funds each year to cover (75) six-year maintenance inspections of ABC and Clean Agent fire extinguishers, (75) Hydrostatic tests of ABC and Clean Agent fire extinguishers, (10) five -year maintenance inspections and Hydrostatic tests on all other fire extinguishers. If the contractor performs fewer hydrostatic tests and six-year maintenance inspections than the numbers shown in the previous statement, the Boise VAMC will pay for the actual tests and maintenance inspections performed. Conversely, any tests and maintenance inspections that would exceed the amount of funds allocated must be approved and funded through a separate procurement request, and the approval must occur prior to the work.

If during maintenance or testing, removal of a fire extinguisher from the facility is required, temporary replacements will be provided by the contractor at no extra cost. When testing has been completed, the contractor will ensure that the original fire extinguisher is placed in the same location that it was in prior to testing. The contractor will attach a record of testing (typically a sticker/label) to the fire extinguisher each time internal maintenance or hydrostatic testing is performed, noting what was completed (hydrostatic test or 6-year internal maintenance) and the month and year of completion. Persons performing maintenance and recharging of fire-extinguishers shall be certified for this work.

Contractor shall not test or replace unserviceable extinguishers. If a fire extinguisher needs to be replaced, this will be requested under a separate procurement request with a specified date as to when service is to be done.

There are approximately 350 fire extinguishers on campus. The majority are ABC, with some, K, CO2, Water, clean agent, and non-ferrous. An excel sheet showing all the fire extinguishers locations and types will be provided. Within 30 days of performing the work, the contractor shall update the VA’s fire extinguisher excel document, to show the service performed and the date of the next hydrostatic test or 6-year maintenance.

Fire Hood Suppression System: Perform the fire hood suppression system inspections per NFPA 96; 17 & 17A, current edition, for all components of the fire hood suppression systems in the Community Living Centers, Nutrition & Food Service, and Canteen Service at the Boise VA Medical Center. Operation of all components of the hood suppression system shall be inspected to verify that they function as intended. Inspection to include any parts necessary for routine testing i.e., fusible links. Repairs over and above typical inspection and maintenance are not part of this contract and will be handled if deemed appropriate on a separate purchase order. Technician to be certified in Denlar, Greenheck, and Ansul systems.

Contractor is to compile a report of the inspections within two weeks and discuss findings and make recommendation for corrective action including bids to correct deficiencies with the Boise VA Medical Center’s Safety Office. Contractor is to sign in upon arrival at the site with Building 50, Facility Management Service, and obtain a contractor badge and fire sprinkler keys to conduct inspections. Contractor is to supply the necessary manpower to conduct the inspection, silence necessary components while testing, and assure the system is fully functional prior to leaving the facility. Contractor is to coordinate inspection with the Safety Office and the Admitting clerk so that false alarms are not transmitted to the Boise City Fire Department. Inspections are to be conducted during February and August. All inspections will be scheduled in advance with the Safety Office.

Funds Set Aside for Discrepancy Corrections: The VA will set aside funds for the correction of deficiencies found during inspections. Vendor will be required to submit a proposal of cost to correct deficiencies for approval prior to any work can commencing. All payments for deficiency corrections will be made in arrears against the awarded PO.

Special Scheduling Considerations / Unique Areas Inspection of sprinkler components, fire hood suppression systems, and extinguishers conducted in areas of the hospital with specialized functions or equipment—such as the Magnetic Resonance Imaging department, the Operating Rooms, the Research Department, and the kitchens—will need to be coordinated with the staff who work there to determine the time periods when inspection(s) will minimize disruption to essential services.

(a) Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127(k)(2), the offeror certifies that—

(1) If awarded a contract (see FAR 2.101 definition), it will comply with the limitations on subcontracting requirement as provided in the solicitation and the resultant contract, as follows:

(i) [X] Services. In the case of a contract for services (except construction), the contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs as set forth in 852.219-10 or VOSBs as set forth in 852.219-11. Any work that a similarly situated VIP-listed subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 50% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Other direct costs may be excluded to the extent they are not the principal purpose of the acquisition and small business concerns do not provide the service as set forth in 13 CFR 125.6.

(ii) [] General construction. In the case of a contract for general construction, the contractor will not pay more than 85% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs as set forth in 852.219-10 or VOSBs as set forth in 852.219-11.

Cost of materials are excluded and not considered to be subcontracted.

(iii) [] Special trade construction contractors. In the case of a contract for special trade contractors, the contractor will not pay more than 75% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs as set forth in 852.219-10 or VOSBs as set forth in 852.219-11.
