Wet and Dry Fire Protection

Cherry Creek School District No. 5 is seeking comprehensive fire protection system inspection, testing, maintenance, and repair services through Request for Proposal (RFP) #26-005, covering wet and dry fire protection systems across multiple facilities in Greenwood Village, Colorado. The procurement solicits qualified contractors to perform annual inspections, preventative maintenance, and repair services for K-12 schools, administrative buildings, and support facilities, with strict compliance requirements to NFPA 25 and all applicable local, state, and federal regulations. Contractor qualifications include valid fire protection system service licensing, a minimum of 5 years of experience with wet and dry system inspections and repairs, and NICET Level II (or higher) certifications for technicians. The RFP requires 24/7 emergency repair availability with a maximum 4-hour response time, routine annual inspections during summer months, and comprehensive reporting and documentation of all services performed. Proposals are due on August 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM MST, with an initial contract term of one year and potential renewals for up to four additional one-year periods, not exceeding a total of five years.

The RFP does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to use a specific "CCSD FIRE BACKFLOW TESTING PRICING ENTRY 8.7.25" workbook for pricing, which must include line-item pricing for inspection/testing services by system and location, hourly labor rates for regular and emergency repairs, parts/materials markup, and any service call fees or after-hours premiums. The pricing document covers facilities across multiple water districts, including Aurora Water, Denver Water, ECCV, Arapahoe Water, and Willows Water, with approximately 60 different buildings and facilities featuring backflow preventers from manufacturers like Febco, Ames, Watts, and Wilkins. While specific award values are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the contract suggests a significant scope of work across multiple facilities. The procurement will involve integrating services with existing backflow preventers and fire protection infrastructure across various school district locations in Colorado.
