Fire Protection System Inspection and Maintenance

The City of Barrie has issued Request for Quotations FIN2026-191Q for the inspection and maintenance of fire protection systems. The contract is for an initial three-year term, with the City holding an option to extend for two additional one-year terms. The scope of work includes scheduled inspections of all system components and the provision of emergency services with a mandatory one-hour response time from notification. Key deliverables include digital inspection and service reports, detailed fire extinguisher testing logs for 6-year, 12-year, and hydrostatic requirements, and the submission of deficiency repair quotes within ten business days of an inspection. To qualify, the successful respondent must be a member of the Canadian Fire Alarm Association and ensure all staff possess CSA Z462 and Lock out and Tag Out training. The evaluation process consists of a two-stage approach: an initial review of mandatory submission requirements followed by a weighted scoring system where pricing accounts for 60 percent and technical criteria account for 40 percent of the total score. All quotations must be submitted electronically by November 9, 2026, at 2:00 PM local time. Additionally, suppliers subject to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act must provide a valid clearance certificate prior to the execution of the agreement.
