RFP# 1117 - fire alarm inspection service (districtwide)

The Clarke County School District (CCSD) is soliciting proposals for a districtwide Fire Alarm Inspection Service through RFP# 1117, seeking qualified vendors to provide comprehensive fire alarm system inspection and maintenance for schools and facilities across the district. The procurement requires vendors to submit sealed proposals via email to the Office of Purchasing & Contracts, located at 595 Prince Avenue in Athens, Georgia, with a strict submission deadline of November 17, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST. A mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for November 5, 2025, at 9:30 AM EST, to be held at the District Services Building's Plant Services Conference Room, where potential offerors will have the opportunity to ask questions and receive clarification about the solicitation. Attendance at this conference is required for all vendors intending to submit a proposal, and participants are strongly encouraged to review the complete RFP beforehand to prepare substantive questions. The district will evaluate proposals based on the vendor's qualifications, technical capabilities, and ability to perform comprehensive fire alarm inspection services across multiple educational facilities.

While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified firms with demonstrated expertise in fire alarm system inspections. The RFP does not mention incumbent vendors or specify precise budget ranges for the contract. Potential respondents will likely need to demonstrate professional certifications, technical competence, and experience in conducting thorough fire alarm system inspections for educational institutions. The scope of work suggests a comprehensive service that includes systematic evaluation of fire alarm infrastructure, potential recommendations for upgrades or repairs, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations across the Clarke County School District's facilities. Vendors should be prepared to provide detailed documentation of their inspection methodologies, personnel qualifications, and approach to maintaining critical fire safety systems in educational environments.
