The Charlotte Fire Department currently operates 43 separate Fire Stations that service the Charlotte community. Fire Stations differ in size and design, but they all have fire apparatus that are housed inside the stations. The diesel exhaust produced by the trucks contains multiple toxic air contaminants that must be removed from the air to provide the firefighters with a clean and safe work environment. All Fire Stations are currently equipped with Plymovent Exhaust Systems.

Charlotte Fire Department requires a Service Provider to maintain the existing exhaust system with a quarterly preventative maintenance plan for each location. The Service Provider must be able to repair and service the existing system and provide reports on the specific condition of the system with recommendations for repairs or replacements. The Service Provider must be able to install a complete exhaust system if the current system is beyond repair, or if the needed repairs are not cost-effective. The Service Provider must be able to design and install a complete system for any future construction of new Fire Stations as needed.

Charlotte Water will be seeking a contract with a company to provide security system maintenance and installation services throughout its facilities.  Services will be required daily and as needed, and will include preventative maintenance and equipment installation and repairs.  Equipment includes, but is not limited to, video devices, intercoms, gates, doors, and ancillary parts.

The scope of this contract shall be to provide the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and the Baggage Handling Controls (BHC) of the Baggage Handling System (“BHS”). The scopes are broken out into two sections, one covering the Baggage Handling Controls (BHC) which consists of both the High-Level Controls (“HLC”) combined with the low-level controls (“LLC”) of the BHS. The second scope will cover the Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) of the BHS System. The airport operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so both the (BHC) and (O&M) scopes will require coverage of “Work” to match the airport’s operation. Both scopes will include corrective and preventative maintenance services with associated operation and maintenance reporting services. The proposer shall provide separate pricing for the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) scope and the Baggage Handling Controls (BHC) scope. The Baggage Handling Controls (BHC) and the Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) portions of this scope of work may be awarded separately. Should the O&M and the (BHC) portions of the Work be awarded to multiple proposers, the Company shall fully cooperate with the other company to ensure the continual operation of the BHS. Where there is a conflict between the companies, CLT has the sole authority to make the final decision.

Charlotte Water, a Department of the City of Charlotte, will be seeking a company to print inserts that are then delivered to a mail house facility for insertion into the monthly water billing statement.

Charlotte Water will provide monthly print-ready artwork files to the company for printing. The company shall be responsible for the printing of the inserts, as well as shipping and delivery of the inserts to the designated mail house facility.

Although Charlotte Water makes no guarantees as to print volumes, it can be estimated that up to 600,000 inserts will be required to print monthly.
