Fire Alarm System Services

The Long Beach Unified School District is soliciting proposals for district‑wide fire alarm system services. Vendors may bid on either (or both) of two service categories: (I) annual testing and NFPA‑72 certification of all fire alarm systems, and (II) ongoing maintenance and repair of those systems. The contract covers roughly 140 K‑12 schools and support facilities—including a Catalina Island site—over a three‑year base term (April 1 2026 – March 31 2029) with up to two one‑year extensions. All work must be performed outside regular school hours, adhere to NFPA 72, California Fire Code, and local fire department requirements, and be documented through NFPA certification uploads and detailed inventory reports. The contractor must hold appropriate California contractor licenses (Class A/B, C‑10 or C‑16), a fire‑life‑safety “Blue Card,” prevailing‑wage registration, and carry the specified insurance and bonding. Key dates include a mandatory pre‑proposal Zoom conference on Feb 10, RFI deadline Feb 11, and electronic submission deadline Feb 23.
