Restore and Remove Fire Alarm Boxes and Police Call Boxes

The District of Columbia has issued a procurement opportunity for restoring and removing Fire Alarm Boxes and Police Call Boxes across the city-wide area. The contract involves comprehensive service work that requires contractors to handle the systematic restoration and removal of these critical municipal communication infrastructure components. Specifications for the project are available for local companies in the Washington Metropolitan area, with additional mailing costs for out-of-region firms. The procurement appears to be focused on general services related to infrastructure maintenance and modernization. The U.S. Department of Labor wage rates will apply to this project, indicating compliance with federal labor standards. The contract posting was made on September 28, 2001, with an unusually listed due date of December 30, 1899, which likely represents a data entry error.

This procurement is specifically set aside for Small Business Enterprise (SBE) contractors operating in the general services category. The restriction to small businesses suggests an intentional effort to support local and smaller-scale contractors in the municipal service sector. No specific deposit is required for participation, which may lower the barrier to entry for qualified small businesses. The contract does not provide explicit details about potential award values or comprehensive budget ranges. While the contract opportunity provides basic parameters for the work, it lacks specific details about evaluation criteria, performance metrics, or potential contract duration. Interested contractors will need to retrieve the full specifications to understand the complete scope of work, required qualifications, and precise restoration and removal expectations for the fire and police call boxes.
