The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order on a competitive basis. This is a Small Business Set-Aside. The John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) has a requirement to purchase 280 Fire Extinguishers in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW) below. STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)?(BEGIN) The Volpe Center, wishes to purchase 250 portable fire extinguishers and an additional 30 extinguishers to comply with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 10 for Buildings 1 through 6. The Contractor shall provide services in accordance with the requirements, schedules, guidance, and information contained or referenced herein for the project listed below: PROJECT TITLE: PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS FOR BUILDINGS 1 THROUGH 6PROJECT LOCATION: JOHN A. VOLPE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS CENTER CAMBRIDGE, MA. 02142 Government points of contact for this project are: Mr. Bill Ng, Facility Engineer A site visit is required and shall be coordinated with Ms. Karen Marino, at (617) 494-2437. Hours of Operation The Volpe Center is open from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM Monday through Friday. These hours constitute normal working hours. The work shall be performed during normal working hours. Drawings There are no sketches or drawings accompanying this package. Scope of Work The Volpe Center has completed their annual portable fire extinguisher (PFE) inspection. The Volpe Center is comprised of 6 Buildings: Building 1 has a total of 123 extinguishersBuilding 2 has a total of 15 extinguishersBuilding 3 has a total of 56 extinguishersBuilding 4 has a total of 29 extinguishersBuilding 5 has a total of 5 extinguishersBuilding 6 has a total of 22 extinguishers Total 250 portable fire extinguishers (PFE) were inspected. Upon inspection, 2 ? 10lb ABC extinguishers will require 6 year maintenance, 108 - 10lb ABC extinguishers require hydro testing and refill along with valves and o-rings. After reviewing the final report, the Volpe Center would need to service the final 140 PFE in the next several years. The Volpe Center desires to purchase 250 new PFE rather than servicing the 110 PFE that need service and the140 PFE which will require service in the next few years. This approach would provide the Volpe Center with a base-line throughout the Volpe Center Campus, thus eliminating the need to swap out PFE every year. With this approach the Volpe Center will have PFE for the next 6 years, with only inspection every year. The contractor shall remove all existing PFE at the Volpe Center and install all new PFE with the appropriate inspection certificates.
