5-Cost Worksheet Exhibit B.pdf

This is a Fire Alarm System Bid Cost Sheet for the Utah Transit Authority's Fire Alarm System Replacement and Upgrade project. The worksheet is designed for bidders to provide comprehensive pricing for the systematic replacement of existing conventional fire alarm systems with fully addressable fire alarm systems across multiple UTA campuses, including administrative buildings, maintenance facilities, transit centers, operations centers, warehouses, and support structures throughout Utah.

The cost sheet is structured to capture all project expenses across seven primary categories: equipment and materials (including fire alarm control panels, detectors, notification devices, cabling, and related hardware); labor costs (project management, fire alarm technician, electrician/installer, helper/apprentice, programming, testing, and commissioning); engineering and design services (system design, shop drawings, permit drawings, and engineering review); permits and fees (fire department permits, inspection fees, and plan review); testing and certification (system testing, AHJ inspection support, and final certification); and additional costs (equipment rental, lift/access equipment, travel/mobilization, and training). The worksheet requires bidders to provide unit costs and total costs for each line item, subtotals for each category, and a final bid price calculation that includes materials, labor, engineering, permits, testing, additional costs, bonds and insurance, overhead percentage, and profit percentage. An optional warranty period section is included for professional bids.
