About this file

This document is a Technical Specifications guide for Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) Facilities Planning, Design & Construction, specifically Volume 2 covering Divisions 21-33, which addresses fire suppression systems, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, communications, electronic safety and security, earthwork, exterior improvements, and utilities. The specifications detail comprehensive requirements for wet-pipe sprinkler systems, fire-suppression standpipes, and general fire protection provisions applicable to the South Village (SoVi) Student Housing Building #6 design-build project. The document establishes performance standards, material specifications, installation procedures, and quality assurance requirements aligned with NFPA standards (NFPA 13, NFPA 14, NFPA 24), UL listings, and FM Global approvals. Key specifications include requirements for piping materials (Schedule 40 and Schedule 10 black steel, galvanized steel options), listed fire-protection valves (check valves, OS&Y gate valves, butterfly valves), sprinkler heads with maximum protection areas ranging from 130 to 225 square feet depending on hazard classification, hose connections, alarm devices, and pressure gages. The specifications establish design criteria based on fire-hydrant flow test data indicating static pressure of 57 psig and measured flow of 2,468 gpm, with sprinkler occupancy classifications ranging from Light Hazard for public areas to Ordinary Hazard Groups 1 and 2 for service areas, storage, and mechanical rooms.

The specifications mandate shop drawing submittals in PDF format with detailed technical data, equipment schedules, hydraulic calculations, and coordination drawings for ceiling penetrations showing sprinkler head locations relative to diffusers, lighting fixtures, and other building systems. All materials must be UL-listed or FM-approved with minimum 175-psig pressure ratings; manufacturers are identified for major components including valves, pumps, hangers, and supports. Installation requirements emphasize compliance with NFPA standards, proper joint construction (threaded, flanged, grooved, or welded), system flushing and cleaning, identification labeling, and comprehensive field testing including leak tests and pressure verification. The document requires one-year system guarantees covering defective workmanship and materials, manufacturer check-outs for major equipment, and instruction-in-operation conferences with the owner. Contractors must demonstrate welding qualifications per AWS D1.1/D1.1M and ASME standards, obtain all required licenses and permits, coordinate with other trades, and maintain detailed records throughout the installation and commissioning process.
