4-Cost Proposal Form (Exhibit 1).pdf

This document is a Cost Proposal Form for Annual Fire Hose Testing issued by Cherokee County Fire & Emergency Services (CCFES), aligned with NFPA 1962 standards. The proposal covers testing for two categories of fire hoses: Large Diameter Hose (LDH) greater than 3" and Small Diameter Hose 3" or less, with estimated quantities of 46,655 feet and 72,288 feet respectively. The contract term is for Fiscal Year 2026 (10/1/2025-9/30/2026), with potential extensions through FY 2030.

The pricing structure requires bidders to provide a cost per foot for each hose category, with the total contract value to be calculated using the full estimated quantities. CCFES will pay based on actual feet of hose tested, with quantities subject to slight variation. The form includes additional questions regarding potential supplemental testing costs and requests confirmation or proposed percentage price increases for contract years 2027-2030. Bidders must specify whether their per-foot costs will remain unchanged or provide incremental percentage increases for each subsequent fiscal year of the potential multi-year contract.
