The evaluation requires the building to comply with the most recent editions of the building and fire codes adopted by the jurisdiction, with technical egress requirements evaluated against the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 101, Life Safety Code.

Offerors must attest to the accuracy and completeness of information provided.
