Fire Extinguisher Service Contract

The City of Brighton, Michigan has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB #ITB-DPW-25-02) for a comprehensive Fire Extinguisher Service Contract covering annual inspections, replacements, and repairs for fire extinguishers across seven municipal facilities. The contract encompasses 119 total fire extinguishers located at City Hall, COBACH Building, Community Center, Department of Public Works, Police Department, Water Treatment Plant, and Wastewater Plant. Bidders must provide services including annual inspections, 6-year inspections, hydrostatic testing, recharging, and replacement of various fire extinguisher types (ABC, ANSUL, CO2, and HALON). The procurement requires bidders to submit a 5% bid security and obtain a 100% performance bond before commencing work. The bid submission deadline is Wednesday, July 9, 2025 at 10:00 am, with the contract term spanning three years and potential for two additional one-year extensions. Contractors must include maintenance, labor, and materials in their pricing and be prepared to service extinguishers within one week of being called.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Pricing will be assessed across multiple service categories, including per-unit costs for different extinguisher types and service fees. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any bid and will invoice each department separately for their respective extinguishers. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the contract covering 119 extinguishers across seven facilities suggests a potentially significant contract value. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with all applicable building laws, city regulations, and code requirements. The successful vendor will be expected to provide professional, timely service with the flexibility to address maintenance needs across multiple municipal departments and facilities.
