Fire Protection Systems - McKinney National Airport Corporate Hangar 3

The City of McKinney, Texas is seeking competitive sealed proposals for a comprehensive fire protection systems replacement project at the McKinney National Airport Corporate Hangar 3, located in Collin County. The procurement involves installing a new network intelligent analog addressable fire alarm system, including replacing initiating and notification appliances, control equipment, smoke and heat detectors, manual pull stations, strobe units, and duct detectors to comply with current building codes. Proposals will be evaluated using a best value selection process with three key criteria: Offeror's Narrative Approach to Construction (40 points), Contractor and Subcontractor Qualifications (20 points), and Proposal Price (40 points). The solicitation requires contractors to submit three copies of their proposal (one original and two copies) or submit electronically via Bonfire, with proposals remaining valid for 90 calendar days after opening. Key dates include a non-mandatory pre-submittal conference on October 28, 2025 at 1:00 PM, and proposal submissions due on November 13, 2025 at 2:00 p.m., with a total project timeline of 275 calendar days from the notice to proceed.

The project does not specify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but requires extensive contractor qualifications, including comprehensive safety records, financial stability, and project management capabilities. Contractors must provide detailed documentation including OSHA 300/300A logs, workers' compensation experience rating sheets, and information about competent safety personnel. The Engineer's estimated probable construction cost is $919,151.00, and the successful bidder will be required to provide Performance and Payment Bonds for the full contract amount, as well as a two-year Maintenance Bond covering 100% of the contract sum. The project involves decommissioning existing fire protection equipment such as fire pumps and foam suppression systems, and will require UL-listed components and compliance with NFPA 72 and City of McKinney fire codes. The contractor will receive a sales tax exemption certificate for materials incorporated into the project, and liquidated damages are structured on a sliding scale ranging from $200 to $1,000 per day for project completion delays.
