Conservation/LE/D2 -ANNUAL FIRE EXTINGUISHER INSPECTION

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Law Enforcement Section is soliciting bids for annual fire extinguisher inspection services for District 2 through a Quick Quote procurement mechanism. The services will be provided at the Rainbow City Recreation Center located at 4412 Rainbow Drive, Rainbow City, Alabama 35906, and must be completed on July 28, 2026, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The scope of work encompasses inspection of 40 2.5-pound ABC fire extinguishers, 40 5-pound ABC fire extinguishers, and one 10-pound ABC fire extinguisher located in officers' vehicles and boats. All inspections and maintenance must be performed by certified technicians in compliance with NFPA 10 requirements, and vendors must submit proof of certification and insurance with their bids. The bid includes three line items: Line 1 for inspections only at a fixed price; Line 2 for parts, recharging, maintenance, six-year and twelve-year maintenance, hydro tests, and other services with percentage discounts to be quoted; and Line 3 for replacement extinguishers with percentage discounts to be quoted. This is an "all or none" contract opportunity, meaning vendors must submit bids on all three line items or their proposal will be rejected. The bid due date is May 5, 2026, and vendors must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform.

The contract is structured as an annual agreement with potential renewal options for up to five years or until $25,000 in total value is reached, whichever occurs first, with the contract subject to annual review and renewal by both parties. Notification of subsequent inspection dates, times, and locations will be provided to the selected vendor at least two months in advance. Vendors must comply with all applicable state requirements, including E-Verify enrollment if employing individuals in Alabama, Alabama sales tax certification, and debarment and suspension certifications. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax and will not indemnify the supplier, and the contract is governed by Alabama law with venue in Montgomery. While specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types are not detailed in the available documentation, the procurement is subject to standard State of Alabama compliance requirements. The maximum contract value is $25,000 across all years and renewals combined, with the State reserving the right to analyze pricing for cost realism and price reasonableness.
