Westchester County's Bureau of Purchase and Supplies is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive fire detection and remote suppression system to be installed at the Daniel P. Thomas Materials Recovery Facility in Yonkers, NY. The Request for Bid (RFB-WC-25230) solicits a turnkey system with specific technical requirements, including three integrated detection zones, each featuring a FLIR thermal camera and FM-listed flame detector. The system must include a water-based suppression mechanism with two 2.5-inch riser-mounted monitors, a pre-action valve, and a minimum flow rate of 436 GPM. Bidders are required to demonstrate successful deployment of similar systems in high-risk environments and provide a complete design proposal with FM approval. The procurement includes both system purchase/installation and three years of remote monitoring and maintenance services. Interested vendors must submit sealed bids before 2 PM on September 17, 2025, with the option to schedule a site visit by contacting Vincent Ferrari-Rivas at 914-813-5427. The initial contract term is three years, with potential renewal for two additional annual periods.
The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be awarded to the most competitive bidder offering an all-inclusive pricing structure that meets or exceeds the specified technical requirements. While the exact budget range is not disclosed, the pricing will include a one-time system purchase and installation cost, followed by annual monitoring and maintenance fees for each of the three contract years. The procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors with proven experience in fire suppression systems, particularly those with successful implementations in industrial or high-risk environments. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that might require integration. Potential bidders should carefully review the complete RFB document to ensure full compliance with the technical specifications and submission requirements.
