This is a Bid Form (Attachment B) for a water-based fire protection systems inspection, testing, and maintenance (ITM) contract with Texas Woman's University (TWU). The contract covers ITM services for multiple buildings across TWU's Denton campus, as well as facilities in Houston and Dallas, including the IHS Houston facility, IHS Dallas Center, and IHS Dallas Parking Garage. Services required include annual fire pump ITM, hydrant ITM, backflow prevention ITM, sprinkler system ITM (both annual and quarterly), 3-year dry system full flow trip tests, and 5-year internal inspections, all performed in accordance with NFPA requirements. The bid form lists approximately 30 buildings and structures at the Denton campus ranging from 1 to 25 floors, with building areas ranging from 4,800 to 232,570 gross square feet, plus additional facilities at satellite locations. The form specifies that pricing should be entered for each ITM service category, with columns (A) through (E) combined to calculate the total annual cost (F), while columns (G) and (H) are excluded from the total.

Pricing shall be subject to review and adjustment 60 days prior to each contract anniversary date, with adjustments based on 80% of field labor costs reflecting the straight-time rate for fire alarm system technicians in the relevant geographic areas and 20% reflecting material costs based on the U.S. Department of Commerce Producer Price Index for Metals and Metal Products. Bidders must provide standard hourly rates for both technicians and helpers. The bid form notes that the IHS Houston facility may be bid separately due to its geographic distance from the other TWU campuses. The contract includes provisions for a maximum annual escalation percentage to be specified by the bidder.
