Fire Sprinkler System Design and Installation for Fire Station 1 and 3

The City of Edinburg Fire Department is requesting proposals for design, engineering, permitting, and installation of complete, code-compliant automatic fire sprinkler systems at two municipal fire stations, with proposals due September 1, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. This project is federally funded through FEMA and subject to 2 CFR Part 200, the Davis Bacon Act, and the Build America, Buy America Act — all contractors and subcontractors must be registered and active in SAM with a valid UEI number at proposal submission or face disqualification.

Station 1 is an 18,000 square foot facility requiring retrofit and expansion of an existing overhead sprinkler system with smoke and carbon monoxide alarm integration connecting to existing fire sprinkler and alarm systems. Station 3 is a 6,000 square foot facility with no existing sprinkler or alarm systems, requiring new turn-key installation including all underground work from riser to city water line connection. The contractor must provide site surveys, hydrant flow testing, engineering drawings, hydraulic calculations, and as-built documentation.

The contractor is responsible for all permit applications and fees at no charge and must pay out-of-pocket for reinspection fees caused by failed inspections or missed appointments. Pricing is on a lump-sum basis with separate cost breakdowns for each station.

Evaluation criteria weight proposals at 50% price, 20% qualifications and prior experience with similar projects, 5% years in business, 5% team resumes, and 20% reference letters and past performance. Contractors must provide bid bonds equal to 5% of bid price and performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of contract price, plus comprehensive insurance with the City named as additional insured. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting was held August 19, 2026 via Zoom. Written questions are due August 25, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Proposals will be publicly opened September 1, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. at City Hall.
