Description
The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston seeks qualified, Texas‑licensed firms to provide comprehensive inspection, testing, maintenance, and repair (ITMR) services for its fire‑safety infrastructure across multiple campuses. The work is divided into four system categories—fire‑alarm & notification, sprinkler (wet, dry, foam, pre‑action), specialty suppression (clean‑agent, dry‑chemical, wet‑chemical), and portable fire extinguishers—each potentially awarded separately but may be combined under a single contractor. Services include quarterly sprinkler testing, semi‑annual specialty‑system checks, annual extinguisher hydro‑testing, 24/7 emergency repair response, and detailed reporting within 15 days of each activity. The contract is a three‑year base term with possible renewals, and UTMB requires a VetHUB subcontracting plan for any portion exceeding $100 K.
• Scope covers >80 buildings (hospitals, research labs, parking garages, clinics) across Galveston, League City, Clear Lake, Angleton and other Texas sites.
• Requires Texas State Fire Marshal licenses (FAL, RME‑I, FEL‑k, HCR/ECR), background checks, OIG exclusions, and compliance with NFPA codes.
• Contractors must provide 24 × 7 on‑call support, deliver reports within 15 days, and meet strict invoicing and insurance requirements.
