Description

The California Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking qualified California‑certified small or micro businesses to provide comprehensive fire‑alarm system inspection, testing, and certification services for its facilities. The work includes quarterly, semi‑annual and annual inspections of an approximately 1,300‑device Simplex fire‑alarm system at the Veterans Home of California in Chula Vista, routine cleaning, incident‑based repairs, and parts replacement with a cost‑plus markup. All work must comply with NFPA 101, NFPA 72, NFPA 25, and relevant California codes, require a C‑10 Electrical Contractor license, and be performed by factory‑trained technicians. The contract is a three‑year fixed‑price agreement with monthly invoicing, prevailing‑wage requirements, and strict insurance and DVBE participation rules.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $1,500,000

Based on a typical fire‑alarm inspection contract for ~1,300 devices with quarterly inspections plus repair labor, a rough industry benchmark is $150‑$250 per device per year for inspection and testing, plus a repair labor component of $50‑$100 per hour. Assuming 4 inspections per year, the annual labor cost could be $200,000‑$350,000, with parts reimbursement adding $50,000‑$100,000. Over the three‑year contract term, total spend is likely between $750,000 and $1,350,000. This estimate assumes standard labor rates for a C‑10 contractor in California and a moderate amount of incidental repairs.
