Renovation of Westview Fire Station

The contract entails the interior renovation of Westview Fire Station 31 in Frederick, Maryland, with a total footprint of approximately 10,750 square feet, encompassing full architectural, structural, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and fire protection systems upgrades. Work must be completed within 340 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with all materials and services delivered and installed on-site at the fire station location. The project requires strict adherence to industry standards including NFPA 13, NFPA 70, ASTM E84, E90, E119, UL standards, and the U.S. National CAD Standard, with all inspections conducted at the project site and the Contractor fully responsible for arranging and financing all inspections, tests, and approvals. Materials must be delivered in original manufacturer packaging with proper labeling per ANSI Z535.2 and Z535.4, UL 969, and must be stored in dry, ventilated conditions above ground with protective coverings to prevent damage from weather, moisture, UV exposure, or contamination. All items must be clearly marked with manufacturer name, brand, type, and grade using machine-printed, UV- and abrasion-resistant labels in all capital letters, with specific minimum sizes for warning and equipment identification labels. The contract does not specify a fixed price or total value as all cost figures are left blank, but it includes contingent unit price items for lighting, switches, outlets, and conduit with estimated quantities subject to change without price adjustment. Evaluation for award will be based on the bidder’s qualifications, subcontractor experience, financial responsibility, and overall project benefit, using a trade-off method rather than lowest price technically acceptable. Bidders must submit an Affidavit of Qualification, Bidder Certification of Work Capacity, two Compliance Certifications, a bid bond, and financial statements, and must comply with drug and background screening for personnel, mandatory site identification tags, smoking restrictions within 25 feet of building perimeters, and seven-day advance notice for utility outages.

The contracting agency is Frederick County, Maryland, with Procurement Analyst IV Brian Stieg as the primary point of contact, and while federal accounting codes and FAR-style clauses are absent, administrative procedures follow construction-focused specifications consistent with EJCDC and CSI MasterFormat standards
