1. Can we get a copy of previous reports? What are trying to pull from the old reports?

1. Page 36 states there are 12 hydrants on the campus, but page 38 does not have us inspecting them. Are we doing annual flow on the hydrants? If so what month are they due? Yes. September.

1. When referring to page 35, will fire sprinkler heads need to be pulled for lab testing every annual inspection even if they haven’t reached their respective 20, 25, or 50-year threshold? Or can we lab tested heads when each head is due? Do not include lab testing in proposal. Annual testing identifies. Repairs are separate.

1. The main hospital (Building #1) is not listed on page 36 under the building list. Will Building #1 be included in the contract? Also will the new building #26 be included in the contract even though it is not finished? Bldg 1 and 26 will be included. All campus buildings.

1. Does the vendor need to provide a full itemized list of material/parts with individual line items for any invoice? Or total fixed cost price will suffice? Per contract requirements.

1. Will the vendor be required to submit all required reports to the San Diego Compliance Engine including the associated fees? What do you mean by fees? Reports are required to be submitted per the contract.

1. Since the “annual” sprinkler/standpipe inspections will be divided up into quarterlies scattered across 12-months, will all testing occur in the same quarter or take place in portions across each quarterly? Same thing with the sprinkler head visuals, will all of these occur during one quarter or divided up amongst the 4 quarters? The solicitation does not specify. Please, state in your proposal how you will achieve the requirements.
