About this file
This document contains electrical specifications and standards approved by the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) on 09/01/24 for a Medication Dispensing Unit Installation project at DSH-Atascadero, prepared by J.C. Chang & Associates Inc. for the California Department of State Hospitals. The specifications detail comprehensive requirements for electrical and communications systems installation, including low-voltage power conductors, conduits, boxes, surface raceways, identification systems, wiring devices, and communications copper horizontal cabling. The project involves installing infrastructure to support medication dispensing units, with detailed requirements for Category 6a twisted pair cable installation, testing, and certification.
The specifications outline strict quality assurance requirements, including the need for BICSI-certified installers and Level IV testers, as well as detailed testing and documentation procedures. The document establishes specific product requirements from approved manufacturers like Allied Tube, Republic Conduit, Belden, and Superior Essex. While no direct pricing information is provided, the specifications require contractors to furnish extra materials for maintenance, including spare connecting blocks and patch panels. The document emphasizes coordination with existing building systems and includes requirements for protection of completed work, grounding systems, and firestopping of penetrations through rated assemblies.
