This project manual is a detailed specification document for the West Ada School District's fire alarm system upgrade at Renaissance High School and District Service Center located at 1303 E Central Dr, Meridian, Idaho 83642. The scope of work includes complete demolition of the existing fire alarm system and installation of a new analog/addressable fire alarm system with all associated wiring, conduit, power connections, sensors, control panels, and monitoring devices necessary for full operational capability. The project is identified as Bid #PW-F-26-611802-2029, Job #2024-629, and is issued at 100% construction documents stage dated 03/17/2026. The contractor must coordinate all work with district personnel and schedule activities to maintain existing system operations as much as possible, with minimal shutdowns scheduled a minimum of two weeks in advance and performed at night to minimize disruption to facility operations. Work is restricted to business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for actual system shutdown and replacement activities. Substantial Completion is required by 8/7/2026, with the engineer of record being John Schindele, PE (License PE-2671852) from Cator Ruma & Associates Co., and Owner's Representative Spencer Mclean representing West Ada School District.
The project is structured as a single prime contract under fixed-price arrangement with the contractor bearing responsibility for all design coordination, shop drawing preparation, equipment procurement, installation, testing, training, and commissioning. All work must comply with current adopted IBC, IMC, ISPC, IEC, NEC, and all state and county requirements. The contractor must provide comprehensive submittals including product data, shop drawings sealed by a professional engineer and NICET III or IV certified fire alarm technician, battery calculations, voltage drop calculations, and zone/device schedules. Installation requires a factory-authorized service representative with NICET II or higher certification and a firm with minimum five years of similar fire alarm system experience, factory-trained personnel, and a 24-hour response time for service within 50 miles of the project. The contractor must furnish extra materials including spare detector bases (5% of quantity installed, minimum two of each type), detectors (5% of quantity, minimum two of each type), and one additional addressable device communication card. All equipment must be UL-listed and FM-approved, with the system capable of supporting 20% additional addressable points for future expansion without additional major components.
