PM and On-Call Repair of Sprinkler Systems

The Town of Franklin is seeking an on-call fire sprinkler fitter service team to perform quarterly maintenance, testing, inspections, and emergency repairs on fire sprinkler systems across all Town and School facilities, including the Municipal Building, Fire Department HQ, Police Station, DPW buildings, Senior Center, Public Library, and multiple public schools. The contract covers a one-year period from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027, with a one-year option to renew subject to annual funding approval. The estimated annual cost is $50,000, with no breakdown of unit pricing, and bids must be submitted as sealed proposals by July 16, 2026, at 9:15 AM to the Franklin Municipal Building at 355 East Central Street, Room 205. All work must comply with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 149 and the detailed Bid Specifications available on the Town’s website, though specific industry standards such as NFPA 25 are not explicitly cited. The contract is solicited as an Invitation for Bids under local procurement rules, with award expected to go to the lowest responsible bidder without a formal technical evaluation factor. The Purchasing Officer, Pamela Vickery, is the primary point of contact, and while a Contracting Officer’s Representative is not named, the Town retains oversight of all work performed. No federal contract clauses, packaging requirements, or socioeconomic certifications are included in the solicitation, and payment details, invoicing procedures, or accounting codes are not provided, though payment will be tied to the annual flat rate contingent on fund appropriation.
