IDYC Fire Alarm Services

The State of Idaho, specifically the Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Idaho Youth Challenge Academy (IYCA), is seeking a comprehensive fire alarm services provider through a Request for Quotes (RFQ) issued for Canyon County. The procurement targets a full-service vendor to perform annual and bi-annual fire safety maintenance tasks, including fire extinguisher services, fire extinguisher training, annual backflow preventer testing, fire alarm and riser inspections, repairs to fire alarm and wet systems, bi-annual hood inspections, and 5-year hydrostatic testing. Qualified contractors must be licensed, possess a minimum of five years of experience in fire alarm maintenance and repair, and demonstrate capability to service the IYCA facility in Pierce, Idaho. The RFQ requires vendors to provide detailed documentation during a pre-contract kick-off meeting and will evaluate responses based on responsiveness, vendor responsibility, and lowest total cost. Critical dates include a proposal due date of February 9, 2024, with the contract term initially set for one year and potential renewals up to five years, commencing within 90 days of the award date.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly identified in the provided documentation. The contract does not indicate a current incumbent vendor or specify precise budget ranges, though vendors will be required to submit comprehensive pricing details on the provided Price Sheet. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, workers compensation, and employer's liability insurance with specific coverage limits. Contractors must obtain policies from insurers rated A-VII or better and provide the State of Idaho, the contracting agency, and its divisions as additional insured parties. The contractor will be responsible for any deductibles or self-insurance and must provide proof of current Idaho workers compensation insurance. While an exact contract value is not specified, the procurement suggests a localized, specialized service contract focused on maintaining fire safety infrastructure for the Idaho Youth Challenge Academy.
