DHR Cullman Annual Fire Alarm inspection

The Alabama Department of Human Resources (DHR) is seeking a qualified vendor to perform a one-time annual fire alarm test and inspection for the Cullman County office located at 1220 St. Joseph St., Cullman, AL. This procurement requires a NICET-certified technician to comprehensively inspect an existing Johnson Controls Simplex 4010 fire alarm system, in full compliance with NFPA 72 and national, state, and local inspection codes. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for April 4, 2025, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, and vendors must complete and sign a site visit sign-in sheet to be eligible to quote. The inspection must be completed by April 30, 2025, with the vendor required to provide a written report identifying any deficient equipment. The procurement is structured as a Round 1 Request for Quote with net 30 payment terms, to be paid after successful completion of the inspection. Vendors must submit a unit price for the one-time annual fire alarm test, with work to be performed during normal DHR office hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00 am-4:00 pm).

The solicitation does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The scope of work explicitly excludes fire extinguisher, fire sprinkler, and backflow preventer inspections, and the service does not include equipment replacement or emergency repairs. Vendors must be registered in Alabama Buys and comply with standard state procurement requirements, including tax registration, E-Verify program enrollment, and adherence to the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act. While a specific budget range is not provided, the procurement is for a single annual service with a focused, limited scope. Potential respondents should carefully review the attached Quick Quote Standard Boilerplate, which outlines comprehensive legal and operational requirements for state procurement participation. Interested vendors must demonstrate technical capability through NICET certification and the ability to conduct thorough fire alarm system inspections in compliance with all relevant safety codes and standards.
