Fire Extinguisher Service

The Golden Empire Transit District in Bakersfield, California is seeking a vendor to provide fire extinguisher service inspection, maintenance, repair, hydrostatic testing, and replacement units on an as-needed basis. The agency requires annual service inspections to verify six-year collar rings and hydrostatic test dates, ensure all labels are legible and current, check pressure gauges, and weigh the units. The selected contractor must also clean the hoses, nozzles, and cylinders, replace tamper seals, and apply Fire Marshal-approved service tags. For hydrostatic test services, the agency requires the complete removal of the extinguishing agent and an internal visual inspection. The contractor must perform hydrostatic pressurization to the required test pounds per square inch and hold the pressure for thirty to sixty seconds to confirm cylinder integrity. The agency requires all work to be performed offsite at the vendor's own office location. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based solely in the United States. The agency is currently looking for proposals and has not disclosed a specific budget. The solicitation does not specify key dates or deadlines within the provided source materials.
