About this file
This is a Fire Sprinkler System Description of Systems spreadsheet prepared for the City of Palo Alto, California, detailing automatic fire extinguishing system specifications across 29 municipal facilities comprising approximately 1.3 million square feet. The document provides comprehensive technical descriptions of wet pipe sprinkler systems, standpipe systems, fire detection and alarm control panels (FACP), water motor gongs (WMG), fire department connections (FDC), main control valves (MCV), sectional control valves (SCV), hose valves, and hydrant connections across community centers, libraries, parking garages, fire stations, and municipal buildings. The systems inventory includes 52 total wet sprinkler systems, 7 dry sprinkler systems, pre-action systems, and a diesel engine-driven fire pump at the Civic Center facility. Each facility entry documents the specific riser configurations, valve types (including Swing, Wafer, Butterfly, and OS&Y valves), flow switches, main drains, inspector test valves, and specialized components such as electric bells and water motor gongs. The spreadsheet serves as the technical baseline for the City of Palo Alto's three-year Automatic Fire Extinguishing System Inspection, Testing, and Repair contract commencing June 1, 2026, with quarterly and annual inspections scheduled for June, September, December, and March, and five-year maintenance service tests and certifications required in accordance with NFPA 25 2025 Edition standards.
The contract procurement specifies that all inspections and repairs must comply with NFPA 25 2025 Edition and California Code of Regulations Title 19. Contractors must hold a valid California State Contractor's License (C-16 classification), maintain current Department of Industrial Relations registration, and provide completed inspection forms to designated City representatives within five days of completion. The estimated project value is approximately $500,000 across the three-year contract period with 275 hours of straight-time labor budgeted annually for repair work and a dedicated repair budget that contractors will bill against as maintenance and repairs are required. Bid proposals were due March 23, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. through the City's OpenGov portal, with questions submission deadline of March 13, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. and no pre-bid conference scheduled. The City identified eleven pre-qualified California-based contractors eligible to submit proposals. Contractors must obtain 100 percent Performance and Payment Surety Bonds within ten business days of award notification and comply with California prevailing wage requirements, certified payroll records, and apprenticeship employment requirements, with liquidated damages assessed at $500 per day for unexcused delays.
