Description
This solicitation calls for a single‑entity design‑build partner to replace and upgrade the fire‑alarm and life‑safety system at Cordova High School. The contractor must design a NFPA 72‑compliant system, remove the existing equipment, install new hardware (including battery‑backup and generator‑powered power), integrate with sprinkler, elevator, HVAC, lighting, and exit‑sign controls, and commission the system to full AHJ approval. The award will be based on a “most advantageous” evaluation that heavily weights qualifications, project plan, and references, with a modest cost factor. Key contractual requirements include mandatory attendance at a pre‑proposal conference, 5 % bid bond, possible 100 % performance bond for contracts over $100 K, local‑preference evaluation, and liquidated damages of $500 per day for missed deadlines.
• Design‑build delivery for a full fire‑alarm and life‑safety system meeting NFPA 72 and local codes.
• Mandatory pre‑proposal conference (Oct 9 2026) and strict submission deadline (Oct 26 2026, 11 AM CST).
• Extensive bonding, insurance, and background‑check requirements; local‑preference policy applies for contracts > $25 K.
• One‑year contract term, with start expected Jan 4 2027, including training, warranties, and a 1‑hour emergency response commitment.
