About this opportunity

The School Board of Seminole County, Florida, has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB #25260039B-TL) for comprehensive fire extinguishing systems inspections and servicing across the district's 70+ facilities. The procurement seeks a licensed contractor to provide annual inspections and certification for approximately 6,000 fire extinguishers, including wet chemical systems requiring semi-annual inspections and extinguishers located on school buses. Key deliverables include annual portable fire extinguisher inspections with tagging and sealing, recharging services for ABC, K, BC, and CO2 fire extinguishers in various sizes, six-year maintenance and hydro testing, repair and replacement parts, and wet chemical system repair components. Vendor qualifications include a minimum of five consecutive years in business and compliance with State Fire Marshal, Department of Education, and NFPA guidelines. The bid was due on October 22, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST, with a voluntary pre-bid meeting scheduled for September 23, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST via WebEx. Evaluation criteria include unit pricing for various services, hourly repair rates (both normal and after-hours), and parts markup percentage.

Four vendors submitted bids: Borem Fire Protection, Inc., Thompson Safety LLC, Summit Fire & Security, and Fire Sprinkler Services FL LLC. The contract does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract term is three years from Board approval (anticipated November 18, 2025), with an option to renew for an additional two-year period by mutual agreement. The School Board reserves the right to cancel the contract with 30 days' notice. Insurance requirements include commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate), automobile liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), and workers' compensation at statutory limits. Bidders must provide pricing on a cost-plus basis for materials and equipment, with hourly labor rates for parts not listed on the price schedule. While specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the scope covers an estimated 6,000 annual inspections and comprehensive servicing across multiple service categories, suggesting a potentially significant contract value for the selected vendor(s).
