NM DPS Albuquerque Metropolitan Complex - Project Manual Summary
This is a Project Manual Volume 3 (Divisions 20-33) for the New Mexico Department of Public Safety (DPS) Albuquerque Metropolitan Complex, prepared by the State of New Mexico Facilities Management Division in coordination with Design Group Project 4729. The project encompasses the construction of two new buildings in Albuquerque to consolidate scattered DPS personnel currently housed across multiple locations and the District Five complex. The manual provides comprehensive specifications for divisions including fire suppression systems (Division 21), plumbing (Division 22), HVAC (Division 23), electrical (Division 26), communications (Division 27), electronic safety and security (Division 28), earthwork (Division 31), exterior improvements (Division 32), and utilities (Division 33). Specific fire suppression requirements mandate automatic wet-pipe sprinkler systems designed per NFPA 13 standards with UL-listed and FM-approved components, including ductile iron underground piping, black steel interior piping, pressure relief valves, tamper switches, water flow switches, and fire department connections. All materials must be lead-free (maximum 8.0% lead content), and equipment must be rated for operation at the project's 5,300-foot elevation. The contractor is responsible for complete system design, hydraulic calculations, installation, testing, and commissioning, with submittals required within 45 days of contract award and coordination drawings required prior to work commencement.
The specifications establish stringent quality assurance requirements, including ASME-certified welders, coordination with fire marshals and insurance underwriters, and compliance with the 2021 International Building Code and Fire Code. The contractor must provide seismic restraints capable of resisting 100% of equipment weight for life-safety equipment and 50% for other equipment, with calculations sealed by a New Mexico-licensed structural engineer. Record drawings in mylar and AutoCAD 2008 format must be submitted prior to final payment requests. Environmental and hazardous material protocols prohibit asbestos, mercury, and PCBs. The project includes mandatory coordination with Division 26 (electrical), Division 28 (fire alarm), and other trades to ensure proper clearances, equipment operation, and maintenance access. A one-year mechanical defect warranty is required, commencing upon substantial completion. The contractor must provide operation and maintenance instruction manuals, spare parts lists, and equipment training to the Owner prior to project closeout.

Confined Spaces: Areas designated by OSHA Standard 1910.146 as a confined space shall be marked with a sign that reads "Confined Space - Entry by authorized personnel only, by permit."
"Confined Space" means a space that:
Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work; and
Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit (for example, tanks, vessels, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, and pits are spaces that may have limited means of entry); and
Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.
The Contractor shall survey the final premises to determine where any such potentially hazardous areas exist. If the Contractor feels that hazards exist which cannot be suitably provided for through the above typical methods, he shall forward in writing his concerns, and
21 05 00 - COMMON WORK REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION - 4
request for a decision concerning the referenced hazard, prior to the final inspection of the facilities.
SUBMITTALS
The Contractor shall submit submittal brochures of all equipment, fixtures and materials to be furnished under Division 21, including but not limited to the following:
Piping materials, valves, equipment and installation methods, vibration isolation devices, pipe penetration installation methods and products for fire rated assemblies, and all equipment listed on equipment schedules, and in related construction documents.
Materials, certification, shop drawings, and other information as specified in the individual Division 21 Specification Sections within this Specification.
Unauthorized Substitutions: If substitute materials, equipment or systems are installed without prior review or are installed in a manner which is not in conformance with the requirement of this Specification and for which the Contractor has not received a written review, removal of all the unauthorized materials and installation of those indicated or specified shall be provided at no change in contract amount.
All equipment shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Provide all accessories and components for optimum operation as recommended by the manufacturer.
Expense: All costs for the preparation, correction, delivery, and return of the submittals shall be borne by the Contractor.

See Division 1 for additional submission requirements.
The Contractor shall submit a maximum of seven (7) copies of submittal brochures for review.
Brochures shall be submitted within thirty (30) days after contract award. One (1) copy of all submittals will be retained by the Engineer. The remaining copies will be returned to the
Architect. Additional sets of submittals, if required by the Contractor, shall be reproduced by the Contractor from the reviewed and marked sets returned to the Contractor.
Complete data must be furnished showing performance, quality and dimensions. No equipment or materials shall be purchased prior to receiving written notification that submittals have been reviewed and marked either "NO EXCEPTIONS TAKEN" or "EXCEPTIONS AS NOTED."
Submittals returned marked "EXCEPTIONS AS NOTED" do not require resubmittal provided that the Contractor agrees to comply with all exceptions noted in the submittal, and so states in a letter.
Review of Submittals: Submittals will be reviewed with reasonable promptness, but only for conformance with the design concept of the Project and for conformance with the information indicated on the Drawings and stated in the Specifications. Review of a separate item as such
21 05 00 - COMMON WORK REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION - 5
will not indicate review of the assembly in which the item functions. Review of submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for any deviation from the requirements of the
Contract Documents, nor for errors or omissions in the submittals; or for the accuracy of dimensions and quantities, the adequacy of connections, and the proper and acceptable fitting, execution, functioning and completion of the work. Review shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for the equipment fitting within the allotted space shown on the drawings with all clearances required for equipment operation, service and maintenance including minimum clearances required by applicable codes, manufacturer's installation instructions and as necessary for proper clearance in front of all electrical panels as defined by the National Electric
Code (NEC). Any relocation of mechanical and/or electrical equipment, materials and systems required to comply with minimum clearances shall be provided by the Contractor without additional cost under the Contract.
Shop drawings will be returned unchecked unless the following information is included: cover sheet shall be provided for each submittal of equipment, products and material proposed for use on the project. A common cover sheet for similar equipment (example: all air handling units or all fire protection products) is acceptable. The cover sheet shall list equipment by symbol number; reference all pertinent data in the Specifications or on the drawings; provide size and characteristics of the equipment, name of the project and a space large enough to accept a review stamp. The data submitted shall reflect the actual equipment performance under the specified conditions and shall not be a copy of the scheduled data on the drawings. Cover sheet shall clearly identify any deviations from the specifications for submitted equipment, products, and materials.
Use of substitutions reviewed and checked by the Engineer does not relieve the Contractor from compliance with the Contract Documents. Contractor shall bear all extra expense resulting from the use of any substitutions where substitutions affect adjoining or related work required in this Division or other Divisions of this Specification.
If Contractor substitutes equipment for that drawn to scale on the drawings, he shall prepare a
1/4" = 1'-0" installation drawing for each equipment room where a substitution is made, using dimensions of substituted equipment, and including piping, and electrical equipment requirements, to verify that equipment will fit space with adequate clearances for maintenance.
This 1/4" = 1'-0" fabrication drawing shall be submitted for review with the shop drawing submittals of the substitution. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in the shop drawings being returned unchecked.
COORDINATION DRAWINGS
The Contractor shall, in advance of the work, prepare coordination drawings for:
Mechanical equipment rooms.
Piping and piping chases.
Complete fire suppression system piping and sprinkler head layout.
Layout of all fire suppression equipment.

electrical systems. Coordination drawings, including plans, elevations and sections, as appropriate, shall clearly show the manner in which the fire suppression systems fit into the available space and coordinates with HVAC and plumbing equipment, ductwork, piping, and electrical equipment, including conduits, light fixtures, motor control centers, transformers, panels, variable frequency drives, etc. Drawings shall demonstrate required code clearances for mechanical and electrical equipment, control panels, etc., and proper operation, maintenance and replacement of fire suppression devices and equipment. Coordination drawings shall be of appropriate scale to satisfy the previously stated purposes, but not smaller than 1/8 inch scale for floor plans and 1/4 scale of equipment rooms and chase areas. Drawings may be composite or may be separate but fully coordinated drawings of the same scale. Every subcontractor must sign-off on coordination drawings prepared by each craft. Failure to sign-off will indicate that subcontractor is proceeding at his own risk. Any cost required to relocate systems to comply with required clearance and equipment installation requirements shall be provided by the
Contractor without additional cost under the contract.
Seven (7) complete sets of coordination drawings shall be submitted prior to the scheduled start of the work in the area illustrated by the drawings, for the purpose of showing the Contractor's planned method of installation. The objectives of such drawings are to promote carefully planned work sequence and proper coordination, in order to assure the expeditious solutions of problems, and the installation of lines and equipment as contemplated by the contract documents while avoiding or minimizing additional costs to the Contractor and to the Owner.
In the event the Contractor, in coordinating the various installations and in planning the method of installation, finds a conflict in location or elevation of any of the mechanical systems, with the structural items or with other construction items, such conflicts shall immediately be documented and submitted for clarification. In doing so, the Contractor shall explain the proposed method of solving the problem, or shall request instructions as to how to proceed if adjustments beyond those of usual trades coordination are necessary.
Installation of fire suppression work shall not proceed prior to the submission and completion of the review of the coordination drawings, and any conflicts which are disclosed by the coordination drawings. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to submit the required drawings in a timely manner consistent with the requirements for completing the work covered by this contract within the prescribed contract time.
USE OF CADD FILES
Under certain conditions, the Contractor will be permitted the use of the Engineer's CADD files for documentation of as-builts, submittals, or coordination drawings.
The Engineer shall be compensated for the time necessary to format the CADD files delivery to the Contractor. Such work will include removal of title blocks, professional for seals, calculations, proprietary information, etc.
The Contractor shall complete the enclosed License, Indemnity and Warranty Agreement, complete with contractor's name, address, and Contractor's Representative signature prior to request for CADD file usage.
