Description
The Maryland Department of Human Services is seeking proposals from qualified, licensed fire protection contractors to provide a 3-year comprehensive inspection, testing, and maintenance (ITM) for the server room fire suppression systems installed in February 2025. The facility utilizes a dual-layered protection strategy, including a Janus Clean Agent system for rapid, non-destructive extinguishing and a Victaulic Double-Interlock Pre-Action system for backup suppression. The contractor will be responsible for semi-annual, annual, and quarterly testing and inspections, as well as 24/7 emergency support. Key services include:
• Verify cylinder weight/liquid level and agent pressure
• Test all initiators, manual pull stations, and abort switches
• Inspect solenoid actuators and control panel battery health
• Full Functional Sequence: Test detection logic and countdown timers without discharging agent
• Victaulic Trip Test: Conduct a functional trip test of the Series 745 valve
• Enclosure Integrity: Perform a Room Integrity (Blower Door) test to ensure the server room meets hold-time requirements for Novec 1230
• Auxiliary Functions: Confirm HVAC shutdowns, damper closures, and signal transmission to the main building fire alarm panel
