2yr contract for Hydrostatic Testing - EB FIre

The Jefferson Parish Government is soliciting bids for a two-year, as-needed contract to perform hydrostatic testing on 350 SCBA bottles for the East Bank Consolidated Fire Department. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who is an authorized DOT/RSPA re-test facility with a valid RIN number. The selected vendor must be capable of servicing 20 to 40 bottles per pick-up and must respond within two hours of notification. Logistics require the vendor to pick up and return bottles to the JPFD Maintenance Shop, coordinating timing with the Safety Officer. Technical requirements mandate that testing be consistent with NFPA, DOT, and industry standards, with a requirement to provide written certification of cylinder status. All cylinders must be clearly and permanently marked per DOT/RSPA regulations near the original test date. If quick connect fittings are removed during testing, they must be reinstalled and torqued to 15 foot-pounds. Bidders must comply with standard insurance requirements, including Worker's Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Business Automobile Liability, and must provide final insurance certificates within ten calendar days of the bid opening to avoid rejection.
