This is a Bid Evaluation Form for a Request for Quotation issued by Pinellas County School District in Florida to select a certified licensed contractor for Chemical Fire Suppression Systems maintenance and repair services across district facilities countywide. The selected contractor shall provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to perform corrective and preventative maintenance and repair services on pre-engineered fire suppression systems in compliance with applicable codes, regulations, and standards on an as-needed basis. The contract requires bidders to have visited the proposed sites and familiarized themselves with local conditions and the nature and extent of work prior to submission.

The evaluation form allocates points across multiple criteria to determine the winning bid. Hourly rates are weighted most heavily, with permitted technician rates at straight time, nights/weekends, and emergencies/nights/weekends earning 50, 25, and 25 points respectively; helper rates earning 50, 25, and 25 points respectively; and supervisor rates earning 5, 5, and 5 points respectively. Additional evaluation criteria include a six-year maintenance service component worth 25 points and materials and supplies cost plus markup percentages for five specified brands (Amerex, Ansul, Kidde, Pyrochem, and Range Guard), each worth 5 points. Points are awarded based on the percentage spread between each bidder's unit price compared to the lowest bidder's unit price for each criterion. The District reserves the right to request formal presentations from contractors with the Facilities, Planning, Design & Construction Department prior to final award.
