Description

The California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) is seeking a qualified contractor to perform comprehensive fire‑alarm system inspection, testing, certification, and incidental repair services at the Veterans Home of California – Chula Vista. The work includes quarterly, semi‑annual, and annual inspections of an approximately 1,300‑device Simplex fire‑alarm system, cleaning, reporting, and on‑site repairs, with a material reimbursement allowance of $30,000. The contractor must hold a C‑10 Electrical Contractor License, provide factory‑trained technicians, and comply with extensive safety, prevailing‑wage, insurance, and HIPAA requirements. • Perform all‑inclusive quarterly, semi‑annual, and annual fire‑alarm inspections (≈ 12 inspections total) following NFPA 101, 72, 25 and California Title 22/24 CCRs. • Provide two qualified technicians on each inspection, clean devices, submit printed reports, and ensure the system is fully operational after each visit. • Offer incidental repairs billed at an hourly rate (24‑hour response) and replace parts on a cost + 10 % basis, capped by a $30,000 material reimbursement. • Maintain required insurance (≥ $1 M CGL, $1 M PL, $1 M AL, workers’ comp) and submit prevailing‑wage certified payroll before payment. • All work must be performed 8 am‑4 pm Monday‑Friday, with any non‑standard hours pre‑approved.

Budget estimate

$50,000 – $80,000

The contract includes a $30,000 material reimbursement plus labor rates that will be quoted by the vendor. Assuming a typical hourly rate of $150 for qualified technicians, the 60 hours of incidental repair work would total $9,000. The scheduled inspections (6 quarterly, 3 semi‑annual, 3 annual) could be billed at roughly $2,000–$2,500 each, yielding $24,000–$30,000. Adding these components gives a plausible total contract value between $63,000 and $69,000, so a reasonable estimate range is $50,000–$80,000 after accounting for variations in rates and potential additional parts beyond the $30K cap.
