INSPECTION AND TESTING OF

FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS AT

LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for the acquisition of annual inspections of fire sprinkler systems and test and inspect fire extinguishers in the park and to provide reports and recommendations, prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and incorporates provisions and clauses that are in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2020-07 as of August 3, 2020. It is the contractor’s responsibility to be familiar with applicable clauses and provisions. Clauses and provisions can be found at https://www.acquisition.gov/browse/index/far. Quotations are being requested via this notice only. A written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is 140P8420Q00126, and the solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The North American Industrial Classifications System (NAICS) code is 238220, Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioner Contractors, with an associated small business size standard of 16.5 million. This solicitation for a service, is a 100% total small business set-aside, and will result in a firm fixed price contract for a base year and four option year contract to a single vendor/contractor determined to be responsive and responsible, based on best value. The Government will consider price, technical acceptability and past performance.

Background

The National Park Service requires the service of the fire sprinkler systems in 12 residences and 4 commercial buildings, and to inspect, test and maintain approximately 220 fire extinguishers located at 2 sites in Lassen Volcanic National Park, providing reports as required of the findings.

Description of Work

In accordance with this scope of work and the requirements specified herein, and with National Park Service (NPS) Reference Manual 58 (Structural Fire Management), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards and codes referenced in Section 1.6 of this scope and all other applicable NFPA codes, and Federal, State and local codes and regulations, Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, travel, parts and materials necessary to properly inspect and test fire sprinkler systems and their components at Lassen Volcanic National Park, hereinafter known as “Park”, as specified herein, and any additions thereto. Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, travel, parts and materials necessary to:

A. Properly inspect and test fire sprinkler systems and their components in accordance with the relevant codes and standards (NFPA 13D Chapter 12 and California Code of Regulations, Title 19, Division 1, Chapters 4 and 5).

B. Perform six-year maintenance and hydrostatic testing on applicable fire extinguishers and their components in accordance with the relevant codes and standards (NFPA 10 Chapter 7 and California Code of Regulations, Title 19, Division 1, Chapter 3).

C. Perform annual testing for all vehicle-designated fire extinguishers, as well as hydrostatic testing every 5 years.

Due to the amount of fire extinguishers that the park has, the preferred brand would be Amerex or equivalent.

The park has already switched majority of the fire extinguishers to the Amerex brand. The cost to switch to any other brand that is not equivalent would be fiscally irresponsible but staying to the Amerex brand or equivalent would allow the park to stay consistent in the brand, materials, cost and the work the park staff would incur to change all buildings, vehicles, and equipment.

Deficiencies discovered or required repairs beyond the work authorized under this scope of work shall be documented and provided to the park as an itemized proposal of services. No repair, beyond what is allowed by this scope of work, shall be performed without being first reviewed by the POC and/or AHJ and approved by the Contracting Officer.
