Project Name: Sprinkler
Location: 1609 4th street
Walk through: August 12, 2026 at 9 a.m. @ 1609 4th Street Rock Island
Bid due Date: August 19, 2026 by 2 p.m. City Hall 1528 Third Avenue Rock Island, IL. Second

Scope of Work
The successful bidder will be responsible for the design, permitting, and installation of a wet
pipe sprinkler system. The scope includes, but is not limited to:
System Design: Installation of a Two (2) Zone Wet Pipe Sprinkler System per NFPA-13
guidelines and local city code.
Water Supply: Installation/replacement of the backflow preventer with a new RPZ as required by
the local water authority.
System Infrastructure
Provision of a new 4-inch fire sprinkler riser through the stairwell, feeding the 1st and 2nd floors.
Separate zone control for each floor.
Installation of a light hazard "shell" type system throughout.
Water Supply Data
Hydraulic calculations are based on the following flow test data (07-17-26):
Static Pressure: 65 PSI, Residual Pressure: 25 PSI, Flow: 615 GPM
Requirements & Stipulations
Expediency: This project is time-sensitive. Please provide a clear timeline for completion.
Cost Efficiency: The City of Rock Island is looking for a "barebones" approach—only what is
necessary to meet code requirements, as a full building rehabilitation is anticipated for 2027.
Exclusions: All electrical work (alarms and lighting), removal of combustibles above ceilings,
and patching/finishing of non-sprinkler related surfaces are the responsibility of the successful
bidder as specified in the full contract requirements.
Compliance: All work must meet the minimum requirements of NFPA-13 and local ordinances.
Stamped drawings (NICET LVL III/IV minimum) are required.
Evaluation Criteria
Proposals will be evaluated based on the following metrics:
Total cost and value.
Proposed timeline and minimal disruption to the facility.
