The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service (PBS) Region 9 Fire Protection and Safety Branch requires that fire protection facility assessments are required to be conducted. The Region 9 Fire Protection and Safety Branch is responsible for ensuring all Federal buildings are provided with an adequate level of safety. The Fire Protection surveys are required to ensure GSA owned and leased buildings are in compliance with all applicable International Code Council (ICC), International Building Code (IBC), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Codes and Standards and GSA guidelines. The intent of the survey is to conduct a risk assessment of the building, its life safety systems, along with the operation & maintenance operations. The purpose of conducting the fire protection survey is to analyze buildings, including occupancies and intended use, to determine the risk of injury, loss of life, property, or interruption of Federal tenant mission because of fire and/or safety concerns. The assessment is to address the effects of these conditions on the safe and healthful work environment for Federal employees and the visiting public. Conducting the Fire Protection surveys requires a licensed fire protection engineer and/or inspection team to inspect buildings and building Fire Protection systems. GSA is seeking a Contractor to provide all necessary labor, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, transportation, and all other items and services necessary to perform fire protection surveys of GSA owned or leased buildings. A licensed fire protection engineer must conduct fire protection surveys for each of the GSA Facilities listed in the San Diego Leases group. All areas of the facility shall be surveyed, including all building services (mechanical, electrical and storage spaces), and all common spaces accessible to building tenants. The purpose of the survey is to verify compliance with the latest NFPA (including the NFPA requirements to maintain and test fire protection systems) and IBC and document non-compliant items as well as exemplary fire protection systems maintenance and testing practices. The survey shall include a review of the Occupant Emergency Plan.
