Security & Fire Alarm Testing, Inspection, Maintenance, and Repairs

The Fontana Unified School District (FUSD) is seeking qualified contractors to provide comprehensive security and fire alarm testing, inspection, maintenance, and repairs across its district facilities. The procurement specifically requires a contractor with a valid C-10 electrical license and ACO license, with a minimum of five years of experience in comparable security system installations. The primary deliverables include the installation of an intrusion detection system utilizing Radionx equipment, encompassing control panels, keypads, motion sensors, and magnetic switches across multiple district sites. Key technical requirements include installing B9512G control panels, B942 touchscreen keypads, ISC-PDL1-W18 TriTech motion sensors, and Potter/Amseco AMS37 magnetic switches with precise specifications for wiring, conduit placement, and system programming. The contract mandates a one-year warranty period and requires the contractor to provide two CD sets with as-built plans, owner manuals, and warranties. The solicitation was posted on October 22, 2025, with bid responses due by November 19, 2025. Additionally, the district will receive two four-hour training sessions on system operation, with the first session preceding final acceptance and the second within one year of system acceptance.

The district's inventory reveals a complex fire alarm infrastructure spanning 51 sites with 25,534 total devices, predominantly using EST 3 and Notifier brand fire alarm panels. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears open to qualified security and fire alarm contractors meeting the technical and experience criteria. The existing infrastructure primarily consists of Notifier fire alarm systems with variations including voice evacuation capabilities and PA rack integration across different sites, ranging from 36 devices at the Warehouse to 2,082 devices at Jurupa High School. Though a precise budget range was not specified, the extensive device count and comprehensive system requirements suggest a significant contract value. The technical specifications indicate a preference for standardized systems, with most sites utilizing EST 3 systems and specific panel models like Notifier 3030, Notifier 5000, and Notifier AFP 400, which will likely influence contractor selection and system integration requirements.
