This federal contract amendment (Amendment 0001) is issued under Request for Proposal (RFP) number 140P4326Q0064 by the National Park Service (NPS) for fire alarm and sprinkler system inspection, testing, maintenance, and repair services. The contract covers historic structures at Salem Maritime National Historical Park (including the replica ship Friendship of Salem) and Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site for a period of performance from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027.

This federal Statement of Work (SOW) outlines requirements for the inspection, testing, maintenance, and repair of fire alarm, detection, and suppression systems at Salem Maritime National Historic Park (SAMA), Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site (SAIR), and the Friendship of Salem (FOS) replica ship. The contract consists of a base year and two option years. The scope of work is divided into Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) scheduled services and unscheduled repairs. Scheduled services include annual inspections and preventative maintenance of fire alarms and detection systems (typically in October) and fire suppression systems (typically in May). Key tasks involve functional testing of control panels, communication links, battery replacements, and comprehensive system flushes. Unscheduled service repairs require 24/7 availability with a one-hour phone response and four-hour on-site response for emergencies. Repairs under $10,000 can be authorized directly by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), while repairs exceeding $10,000 require Contracting Officer (CO) approval. Because the work takes place at historic locations housing irreplaceable artifacts, the contractor must adhere to strict operational guidelines, such as avoiding contact with historic fabrics and ensuring visitor safety. Contractors and inspectors must hold valid Massachusetts Department of Fire Services certifications with engineered and pre-engineered endorsements, and have at least three years of relevant experience. Proposals must include technician licenses, company qualifications, and references for three similar projects completed within the last five years.
