Quick Summary
The National Park Service (NPS), under the Department of the Interior, is soliciting proposals for the installation of a fire sprinkler system at the Mayfield House within Olympic National Park, Washington. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside with an estimated value between $25,000 and $100,000. The project involves designing and installing an automatic dry-pipe NFPA Standard 13D fire protection system. Proposals are due by April 15, 2026, at 12:00 PM PT.
Scope of Work
The contractor will design and install an automatic dry-pipe NFPA Standard 13D fire protection system in the 2,600 sq ft, two-story Mayfield House, which serves as park staff housing. The system must comply with NFPA 13, International Building Code, and the Statement of Work. Key tasks include installing aboveground distribution piping, sprinkler heads, and potentially a water storage tank with supply lines. Work requires careful execution to avoid damage to existing materials, adherence to "hot work" permit requirements, and compliance with the NPS Pacific West Region Structural Fire Management Officer as the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
