PGW Fire Extinguisher and Fire-Protection System Maintenance and Inspection

Philadelphia Gas Works is seeking a contractor to maintain fire extinguishers and inspect and service fire-protection systems at its Philadelphia facilities. - Buyer: Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW); related inspection records identify the City of Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections. - Requested work: Fire extinguisher maintenance and replacement, plus inspection, testing, certification, and repair of wet and dry sprinkler and standpipe systems at various PGW locations. The solicitation provides no quantities, part numbers, or itemized prices; pricing is in a separate spreadsheet and specification. - OEMs named in equipment records: TYCO, Reliable, Peerless, WEG, Tornatech, Grundfos, AMES, General Air, and Viking. These are manufacturers of existing equipment documented in inspection reports, not designated suppliers for the requested services. A&S Sprinkler Co. (also identified as A&S Sprinkler Company) performed inspections; it is not identified as the required contractor. - Existing equipment documented—not specified as purchases: TYCO DPV-1 and Reliable Mod D 4-inch dry valves; General Air OL615100BC and OL43075BC compressors; Peerless 750-GPM fire pump with WEG motor; Tornatech fire-pump and jockey-pump controllers and transfer switch; Grundfos CR3-9 jockey pump; AMES COLT 200N backflow assembly; and Viking VRX dry-valve systems and AMES Colt 200 backflow assemblies at another PGW site. See line items for reported quantities and identifiers. - Notable technical findings: Inspection records report valve position or supervision issues, a fire pump that could not achieve or be tested at 150% flow, a failed backflow assembly, dry valves not full-flow tested, and sprinkler pipes or fittings in poor condition. A clogged ITV/drum drip was also noted with a flushing recommendation. - Contract and requirements: One-year term with four optional one-year renewals. Requirements include a 12-month workmanship and materials guarantee, Pennsylvania prevailing wages, approved subcontractors, permits, insurance naming PGW and PFMC as additional insureds (the initial notice also names the City of Philadelphia), and performance and labor/material payment bonds each equal to 100% of the awarded amount.
