Replacement Fire Alarm System

The Torrington Board of Education is seeking a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the installation of a new replacement fire alarm system at Torrington Middle School located in Torrington, Connecticut, within Litchfield County. The procurement requires interested vendors to obtain bid packets by emailing Dean Pergola, the Director of Facilities, and mandates attendance at one of two pre-bid meetings scheduled for November 21, 2023, or November 30, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. at the school's location. Only vendors who attend these mandatory meetings will be permitted to submit a quote for the project. The solicitation period runs from November 22, 2023, to December 14, 2023, with sealed bids due by December 1, 2023, to be submitted to the Director of Finance at the Torrington Administration Building. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the vendor. All requests for information (RFIs) will be responded to via email, and the complete bid packet will provide specific details about the fire alarm system replacement requirements.

The solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no details provided about existing infrastructure or technology that might require integration. The solicitation is open to all vendors and does not specify a total estimated contract value or budget range. While the documents consistently emphasize the mandatory pre-bid meeting and the need to obtain detailed bid packets via email, they do not disclose specific evaluation criteria or technical specifications for the fire alarm system replacement. Interested vendors must contact Dean Pergola directly at dpergola@torrington.org to receive the complete bidding instructions and detailed requirements for the project.
