26008-A Fire Sprinkler Inspections

Fayette County, Georgia has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) #26008-A for annual fire sprinkler inspections and maintenance services across multiple county facilities. The procurement encompasses comprehensive fire protection system inspections for approximately thirteen facilities including ten fire stations, the Administration Complex, Justice Center, Old Courthouse, Public Works facility, Senior Center, Animal Shelter, Library, and 911 Center. Services required include annual inspections in compliance with NFPA 25 (water-based fire protection systems) and NFPA 72 (fire alarm systems) standards, identification and documentation of system deficiencies, main drain flow testing, pressure gauge evaluation, valve operation verification, and internal pipe investigation assessments. Qualified contractors must hold NICET Level II certifications in fire alarm systems and water-based systems, along with certifications in portable fire extinguishers, pre-engineered kitchen suppression systems, emergency lights/exit signs, and backflow prevention. A mandatory pre-quote conference will be held on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. at the Fayette County Administrative Complex, 140 Stonewall Avenue W., Fayetteville, GA 30214, with quotations due by 3:00 p.m. on October 16, 2025. The inspection reports provided demonstrate the scope of work, documenting existing system conditions, identified deficiencies including outdated pressure gauges, overdue internal pipe investigations, and equipment failures requiring corrective action.

The RFQ documents do not indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged or minority-owned enterprises, though prospective bidders should clarify any applicable preferences with Sherry White at swhite@fayettecountyga.gov. Current inspection records indicate that Acom Fire Solutions, located at 7521 Veterans Parkway, Columbus, Georgia 31909, has conducted recent annual inspections across county facilities, with technician Cody Cook performing most inspections between March 3-5, 2025, and Donald Krutz conducting the Animal Shelter inspection on March 27, 2025; however, the solicitation does not restrict competition based on incumbency. The existing infrastructure consists of multiple wet sprinkler systems, dry sprinkler systems, FM200 fire suppression systems, butterfly valves, isolation test valves, backflow prevention devices, and fire alarm systems across diverse facilities with varying operational statuses and compliance requirements. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available solicitation documents, with pricing expected to be submitted on a quote basis for annual maintenance services. Interested vendors must acknowledge receipt of Addendum 1 to RFQ #26008-A as part of their quote submission and should obtain copies of the inspection reports referenced in the solicitation to understand facility-specific conditions and required corrective actions.
