About this file
This is a Solicitation Addendum issued by the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources in response to vendor questions regarding IFB 46-DNCR-27-2180 for Fire Alarm Testing and Inspection services at the North Carolina Zoo. The solicitation requests annual testing and inspection of 39 fire alarm systems across multiple zoo buildings, approximately 500 portable fire extinguishers in various classes and sizes, and fire sprinkler system testing and inspections. All work must comply with NFPA standards, North Carolina State Fire Prevention Code, and manufacturer recommendations. Services must be performed during Zoo business hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET April through October; 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET November through March), with emergency repair services required beyond regular hours. Written vendor questions were due October 22, 2026 by 12:00 p.m. ET, with a site visit held on October 21, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. ET. Bids are due October 29, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. ET and must be submitted through the Ariba Sourcing Tool. The contract term runs three years from March 6, 2027 through March 5, 2030, with the State reserving the right to extend after the final active term.
This addendum addresses three vendor questions clarifying that the Pricing Form (an Excel spreadsheet) is available in the Pricing Submittal Section of Ariba for vendors to download and complete; that work inspections should be performed during the specified Zoo business hours as outlined in Section 5.1.2; and that devices and equipment in the Asia exhibit are included in the scope of work as specified in Section 5.1 and Attachments One through Four. Vendors must hold a current Fire Alarm/Low-Voltage License from the North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors and register with the NC Secretary of State prior to contract execution. Award will be made to the responsive bid offering the lowest price meeting specifications, contingent upon verification of vendor qualifications, past performance, and financial stability. The State does not guarantee minimum or maximum purchase quantities and reserves the right to award to multiple vendors or cancel the IFB if deemed advantageous.
