District Fire Sprinkler Head Replacement

The Campbell County School District is soliciting bids from licensed contractors for the inspection and replacement of fire sprinkler heads across five locations in Wyoming, including Paintbrush, Rawhide, and Rozet Elementary schools, as well as Sage Valley and Twin Spruce Junior High schools. The scope of work involves replacing existing sprinkler heads, repairing associated building damage, verifying and replacing head boxes, labeling system components, and ensuring full compliance with current fire and building codes. The project is scheduled to commence on March 17, 2025, with a completion deadline of July 31, 2025. Bids must be submitted in a sealed envelope to the Central Warehouse in Gillette, Wyoming, by December 16, 2024, at 10:00 AM. Requirements for submission include a completed bid form, acknowledgment of all addenda, and a 10% bid bond. For contracts exceeding 150,000 dollars, 100% performance and payment bonds are required, though a letter of credit may be accepted as an alternative. Wyoming-based contractors are eligible for a 5% price preference, provided they do not subcontract more than 20% of the work to non-residents. The district will utilize a trade-off evaluation methodology, meaning the contract will not necessarily be awarded to the lowest bidder but rather to the party deemed to be in the best interest of the owner based on competency and responsibility. Awarded contractors must maintain comprehensive liability insurance, including workers compensation, and list the owner as an additional insured. All work is subject to inspection at the project site, and final acceptance is contingent upon verification of compliance with all contract documents and safety standards.
