PART 1 – GENERAL

The National Park Service (NPS), Lassen Volcanic National Park (LAVO), has a requirement for fire extinguisher inspections and service in accordance with this statement of work.

1.1 Description of Work

In accordance with this scope of work and the requirements specified herein, and with National Park Service (NPS) Reference Manual 58 (Structural Fire Management), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards and codes referenced in Section 1.6 of this scope and all other applicable NFPA codes, and Federal, State and local codes and regulations, Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, travel, parts and materials necessary to properly inspect and service parkwide fire extinguishers at Lassen Volcanic National Park, hereinafter known as “Park”, as specified herein, and any additions thereto. Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, travel, parts and materials necessary to:

A. Perform six-year maintenance and hydrostatic testing on applicable fire extinguishers and their components in accordance with the relevant codes and standards (NFPA 10 Chapter 7 and California Code of Regulations, Title 19, Division 1, Chapter 3).

B. Perform annual testing for all vehicle-designated fire extinguishers, as well as hydrostatic testing every 5 years.

Due to the amount of fire extinguishers that the park has, the preferred brand for replacement is Amerex or equivalent. The park has already switched the majority of the fire extinguishers to the Amerex brand and wishes to stay uniformly consistent throughout the park. The cost to switch to any other brand that is not equivalent at this stage would be fiscally irresponsible but staying to the Amerex brand or equivalent would allow the park to stay consistent in the brand, materials, cost and the work the park staff would incur to change all buildings, vehicles, and equipment.

Deficiencies discovered or required repairs beyond the work authorized under this scope of work shall be documented and provided to the park as an itemized proposal of services. No repair, beyond what is allowed by this scope of work, shall be performed without being first reviewed by the COR and/or AHJ and approved by the Contracting Officer.

1.2 Definition of Line Items

Line Item 010 Annual fire extinguisher inspections are for an estimated 160 fire extinguishers at the Mineral and Manzanita Lake testing sites. As a part of the annual service of the estimated 160 fire extinguishers, the contractor shall complete item numbers 1 to 5 below. Pricing for item numbers 1 to 5 shall be used to adjust the total cost of this line item based on the actual number of fire extinguishers serviced, replaced and disposed.

Payments will only be made for actual service completed and actual items delivered.

1. Annual Breakdown

2. Maintenance Breakdown

3. Hydro Test
