Fire and Smoke Damper Replacement Service

The government authority in Leonardtown, MD, requires a vendor to provide a fire and smoke damper replacement service for a one-year contract period. The requested scope includes replacing select smoke dampers, removing specified dampers with dedicated smoke detectors, and installing specified combination fire/smoke dampers with associated duct smoke detectors. The vendor must access and restore acoustical ceiling tiles and hard drywall ceilings, while connecting all dampers to existing power and fire alarm monitoring connections. Work must occur onsite in unoccupied areas during evenings, Saturdays, and winter break, with an anticipated start date in Fall 2026 and substantial completion by April 2027. The buyer requires vendors to be located onshore within the USA. Because local funds finance the project, Maryland Prevailing Wage or Davis-Bacon Wage scales do not apply. The buyer is looking for proposals regarding the budget and sets a deadline for all questions of no later than September 15, 2026.
