Conservation/Parks/Monte Sano - Fire Extinguisher Inspection

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is soliciting bids for fire extinguisher inspections at Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville, with an "all or none" requirement and bids due September 16, 2026. The inspection must be completed on December 29, 2026, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The vendor must be certified and insured, with certification attached to the bid.

The scope covers inspections of 34 fire extinguishers (22 2.5-pound ABC units, 5 5-pound ABC units, and 7 10-pound ABC units) located throughout multiple park buildings and vehicles, all compliant with NFPA 10. Three line items are quotable: inspections, service/repairs/parts (including 6-year maintenance, 12-year maintenance, hydro tests, and recharging), and new extinguisher replacements. All work must be performed by a certified technician. The vendor must coordinate scheduling around occupied rentable buildings during the inspection period.

DCNR intends to establish a multi-year agreement with a maximum cumulative contract value not to exceed $25,000 and a term not exceeding five years, with annual renewal at the State's discretion. Pricing must remain consistent throughout the contract term; price escalation requests may be considered only if justified by increased material, labor, or other costs and are capped at 5 percent of annual contract cost, subject to written approval. Inspection dates, times, and locations for subsequent years will be provided to the vendor at least two months in advance.

Vendors must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform. Compliance with Alabama's E-Verify requirements, sales tax certification, and proof of professional licenses and required insurance certificates are mandatory. The State is exempt from sales tax and retains cancellation rights for convenience.
