1.0 Background

The National Park Service (NPS) has a requirement for the inspection and testing of fire suppression and alarm systems within Yosemite National Park (YOSE).

The project consists of performing NFPA compliant inspection and testing, and the cost estimating of deficiencies found during the inspection and testing process in 142 buildings in the attached asset list. Systems to be surveyed shall include:

• Water-based fire protection systems – 132 systems, to include:

- Wet pipe sprinkler systems (to include standpipes and fire pumps)

- Dry pipe sprinkler systems (to include standpipes and fire pumps)

• Chemical agent systems (to include dry and wet flammable liquids storage areas and food preparation spaces) – 1 system (system is currently out of service)

• Water Mist System (to include museum collection storage and display) – 1 system

• Fire Detection and Notification Systems – 61 systems

2.0 Scope

General:

All services under this task order shall be performed in accordance with accepted industry standards and applicable codes as identified herein.

The work shall be performed in two phases, which describes the workflow from field work through documentation and cost estimating. Phase one shall include the facilities management task of conducting system component field surveys, system inspections, system testing, and identification of system deficiencies and shall be performed by a licensed and/or certified contractor. Phase two shall include review of inspection, testing, and inventory of field documentation, validation of code citations, recommend corrective actions, deficiency cost estimating and if not already done, input of inventory into the FCPA database. Phase two shall be performed by and/or under the supervision of a NICET Level 2 or California (CA) State equivalent for sprinkler systems, and NICET Level 2 or CA state equivalent or manufacturer certified person for alarm systems.

The contractor remains full responsible for determining if the standards, codes, or provisions cited in this task order have been revised or updated.

(CO).

Specific Scope will include:

1. Validating the number and types of systems compared to the list provided, estimating number of components, validating applicable fire and life safety codes and standards.

2. Performing inventory, inspection, testing, and identifying deficiencies (to include applicable code citation), and cost estimating.

3. Provide Class C estimate for repair of identified deficiencies.

4. The file format for each electronic report (each asset) is to be: Asset#-YOSE-Mo- Year-Brief

Description, e.g., 1335987-YOSE-09-2024-Valley District Museum.

5. The contractor shall provide an extra nitrogen tank for testing the nitrogen system at the

Yosemite Museum.

6. The contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, materials, and supervision to perform the tasks outlined in the scope of work.

• The contractor shall survey all identified NPS facilities. The field survey shall include the inventory and cataloguing of all fire protection systems and their components in the identified facilities, to include fire suppression and fire detection and notification systems.

• The contractor shall document systems and components found during the survey and update a standard inventory form, provided by the contractor. Note that this is not a full FPCA inspection and only requires that the form be completed.

Performance of Annual Inspections:

• The contractor shall perform inspections commiserate with the minimum requirement for annual inspections for each system and document inspection on the appropriate NFPA approved inspection, testing, and maintenance form. The inspections shall be based on the minimum requirements of the appropriate NFPA code or standard for the specific system.

Performance of Annual Testing:

• The contractor shall perform annual testing of all inspected fire protection systems and document the inspection on the appropriate NFPA inspection, testing, and maintenance form.

The annual inspection shall be based on the minimum requirements of the appropriate NFPA code or standard for the specific system. The contractor shall cite the applicable NFPA code, standard, or chapter and applicable sub-sections that support determination of deficient installation or performance.

No maintenance of fire protection systems shall be performed under this task order.

All deficiencies identified during Phase 1 that are deemed by the Contractor to pose an imminent hazard or threat to employees, visitors, or the resource shall be immediately reported to the AHJ.

Performance of Cost Estimating:

• The contractor shall prepare and submit Class C cost estimates. The cost estimate shall describe all the work required to correct all deficiencies identified during the survey, inspection, and testing. Cost estimating shall be performed in accordance with recognized industry practices. RS Means CostWorks®, and NPS policy, as approved by the COR. Cost estimating shall include a description of the proposed repairs and all labor and materials necessary to correct each deficiency. Cost estimating shall include any patching, painting, trenching, revegetation, clean-up, or other finish work that will be required as a result of required repairs. Costing shall be presented in an itemized fashion on an excel spreadsheet.

The contractor shall submit cost estimates within 30 days of field work to the COR for approval and acceptance.

Documentation:

• The contractor shall provide to the NPS all completed forms, documents, and electronic files generated as a result of the survey, inspection, testing, and cost estimating.
