The scope requires annual fire alarm inspections, testing, and cleaning at all DPS-managed properties in compliance with Denver Fire Department code and NFPA 72 standards.

The contract term is one year with four optional one-year renewal periods. The District may adjust pricing by no more than 3% annually during renewals. Evaluation is on a 100-point scale: management summary (25 points), pricing (15 points), project schedule and implementation plan (25 points), supplier profile and qualifications (30 points), and value-added services (5 points). The District reserves the right to conduct a Round Two oral presentation with the highest-scoring vendors if necessary.

Questions are due September 8, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. MT via BidNet. Award is anticipated for October 2026, with contract negotiation and final award in November 2026. DPS is exempt from sales tax.
