About this file

This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) clarification spreadsheet for RFP No. S-10700-00013714 related to Fire Sprinkler Testing, Maintenance and Repair Services, involving a state government agency. The RFP covers fire sprinkler system inspection, testing, and maintenance across multiple state facilities including the Employment Building, Justice Building, State Data Center, and Print Plant. The contract appears to include comprehensive fire system evaluations, with specific testing requirements in 2026 for certain locations, and a focus on ensuring qualified technicians are available to perform the required services.

The Q&A document reveals critical clarifications about the project, including confirmation that no supplemental fire suppression systems exist beyond those listed, and that while a NFPA Certified Fire Inspector I (CFI-I) certification is not mandatory for all technicians, the proposer must demonstrate at least one certified inspector is available. The pricing proposal includes testing services through 2026, with some locations designated for 5-year inspections. Additional details were provided regarding fire hydrant connections, main piping lines, and the availability of previous inspection reports to help potential contractors accurately scope and price their proposals.

Sheet1 Q&A Documentation RFP No. S-10700-00013714 FIRE SPRINKLER TESTING, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SERVICES

Question NumberQuestion/ClarificationAgency Response
11. Please provide information on the quantity and types of fire systems and equipment to be inspected at each location. There is not enough information provided in the bid documents to accurately quote for the requested services.This is all listed under Exhibit E of Att_A sample price agreement.
2If possible, please provide copies of previous inspection & testing reports for all of the systems and equipment to be inspected at each location.Please see attached reports (Contractor name Redacted).
3Please clarify what is meant by “Fire Service Main Piping & Strainer” as stated on the price proposal sheet for the Print Plant located at 550 Airport Rd SE, Salem.This is simply the main line to the hydrants, and the strainer (filter?) located within? The statement of a filter is a miss-communication, there are no strainers on these Main Piping Lines. "These fire hydrants are tied to the City’s water supply line and no need for strainers. Strainers are only used if the water is pumped from a river or lake."
4Are there any type of supplemental fire suppression systems (such as FM-200, Ecaro-25, Novec 1230, Inergen, or other type of clean agent) protecting computer/server/data rooms at the Employment Building, Justice Building, State Data Center and/or any other facilities included in the scope of work in this RFP?No other systems, just what is listed.
5The price proposal spreadsheet lists “5-YEAR” on most of the “2026 Testing” rows, but not all of them. Are bidders to assume that the 5-year inspection & testing work is to be done in 2026, and is only to be done at the locations where it is stated on the price proposal sheetPer Att_E, that is correct, per our testing schedule.
6The RFP document states in paragraph 3.2.1 that, “All technicians that will provide Fire Sprinkler Testing, Maintenance and Repairs must hold a current NFPA Certified Fire Inspector I (“CFI-I) certification.” This is a very unusual requirement for fire sprinkler system inspection and/or repair technicians. Is a CFI-I certification truly required for all technicians that will provide testing, maintenance and repairs of DAS fire sprinkler systems under this contract?Fire sprinkler inspectors are not specifically required to have CFI-1 certification. However, some jurisdictions may require CFI-1 certification for fire inspectors. Proposer must demonstrate in their Proposal that they have at least one (1) CFI-1 inspector capable of inspecting the required systems.
