Description
This solicitation calls for a design‑build contractor to completely replace and upgrade the fire alarm and associated life‑safety systems at Cordova High School. The contractor must handle all phases—from engineering design, demolition of the existing system, installation of plenum‑rated cabling and new UL‑listed devices, to testing, commissioning, and training of school staff. The contract is a fixed‑price, one‑year award with a 5 % bid bond and a 100 % performance bond, and evaluation heavily favors technical qualifications, methodology, and experience (35 % + 45 % weighting). Local‑preference points are available for Tennessee‑based vendors.
• Design‑build scope includes system design per NFPA 72, full installation, demolition, and as‑built documentation.
• Contractor must provide a one‑year monitoring, testing, and inspection service, plus a 1‑hour emergency response and warranty.
• Mandatory pre‑proposal conference on 9 Oct 2026; proposals due by 26 Oct 2026, with a 120‑day irrevocability period.
