Fire extinguisher facility list.xlsx

This is a fire extinguisher facility list spreadsheet compiled for the Maine Department of Defense, Veterans & Emergency Management in support of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for statewide fire extinguisher and suppression system services across Maine Army National Guard (MEARNG) facilities. The document provides a comprehensive inventory of approximately 785 portable fire extinguishers and fixed suppression systems located across 46 buildings at multiple MEARNG installations, including Camp Keyes, Aviation Readiness Center Bangor, and various armories throughout the state. Extinguisher types cataloged include ABC, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, wet chemical, Class D, Halotron, and Purple K units in sizes ranging from 4 to 32 pounds, with specific brand information (Sentry, Badger, Amerex, Simplex, Buckeye, Ansul, Kidde, and others) and precise building locations documented. The RFP mandates vendor compliance with NFPA standards 10, 17, 17A, and 96, along with OSHA regulations and manufacturer specifications. A mandatory bidders' conference is scheduled for May 27, 2026, at 09:00 a.m. at Camp Keyes in Augusta; written questions must be submitted by June 12, 2026, by 4:00 p.m.; and proposals are due June 24, 2026, by 4:00 p.m. The initial contract period runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with four optional renewal periods extending through September 30, 2031.

Required services include monthly inspection tags, annual maintenance with hydrostatic testing, six-year maintenance for applicable units, tamper-indicating seals, service verification collars, semi-annual hood suppression inspections, kitchen hood grease accumulation assessments, proper disposal of non-viable extinguishers, and provision of temporary loaner units to ensure continuous fire protection. Eligible bidders must hold current Maine licenses and Certified Fire Extinguisher Technician Certification. Cost proposals must be submitted as a fixed amount covering the initial term and all four renewal periods combined, with payment terms of net 30 upon receipt of acceptable invoices. The evaluation formula allocates 25 points to cost, with the lowest bid receiving maximum points and higher bids receiving proportionally reduced scoring. No specific cost or budget information is disclosed in the procurement materials, and no incumbent vendor or current contractor is identified. No set-asides or restrictions limiting eligible respondents to particular business classifications or disadvantaged enterprise designations are indicated. The Department anticipates making one award, and eligible bidders must provide documentation of financial viability, insurance coverage, organizational qualifications, five-year litigation history, and three relevant project examples.
