Description

The University is seeking a qualified contractor to perform annual testing, inspection, and reporting of its fire‑alarm and fire‑sprinkler systems across multiple campus locations. The work must comply with the latest NFPA 72 (fire‑alarm) and NFPA 25 (sprinkler) standards, include coordination with the university’s facilities liaison, and provide detailed hard‑copy and digital documentation after each inspection. The contract is a five‑year, fixed‑price service with optional one‑year renewals. • Annual inspection & testing of all fire‑alarm devices listed in Attachment 1 (hundreds of smoke detectors, panels, tamper switches, etc.). • Annual inspection & testing of fire‑sprinkler systems and pumps listed in Attachment 2 (wet/dry systems, stand‑pipe, fire‑pump verification). • Submission of two hard‑copy reports + one digital copy per inspection, plus cost proposals for any repairs or modifications identified.

Budget estimate

$1,000,000 – $1,750,000

The contract covers annual testing of dozens of fire‑alarm devices (≈1,500 detectors, panels, etc.) and fire‑sprinkler systems across 30+ buildings. Assuming an average annual service fee of $40‑$70 k per campus (based on industry benchmarks for large‑scale fire‑safety inspection contracts), the 5‑year contract could generate roughly $200,000‑$350,000 per year, yielding a total revenue range of $1 million‑$1.75 million over the full term. After accounting for labor, travel, insurance, and overhead, the net profit would likely fall in the low‑to‑mid‑range of that total.
