SUMMARY OF PROJECT

The purpose of this project is to correct fire and life safety deficiencies by installing additional fire annunciation devices, replacing deficient doors and hardware, providing required access to inaccessible fire dampers, improving or restoring fire and smoke walls throughout the facility and other identified items and life safety deficiencies. Also included in the scope of work is fire alarm system work, mass notification system work and public address system work as described in Mechanical and Electrical heading descriptions below. The project does include a limited amount of work in detached buildings, that scope of work is noted in the above identified construction documents. The project also includes removal of an existing temporary stair near the old pool area and loading dock on the south side of Building 1.

As a part of the work of this project a new set of Life Safety Plans have been produced based on the 2018 NFPA 101 Life Safety Code – existing facility chapters – addressing of the deficiencies is based on this edition of the code.

The contractor shall coordinate with all trades required to complete the work as indicated and scheduled Including any necessary electrical work to complete installation / operation of hardware indicated on the plans, door and hardware schedules.

Mechanical Scope of Work The mechanical contractor’s scope of work will include correcting all mechanical deficiencies identified in the Contract Documents. This includes repairing existing fire, smoke, and combination fire/smoke dampers in need of repair, dampers to be decommissioned, dampers that require access panels to be installed, and new dampers required per the latest code plan. Many dampers are no longer required due to code plan changes – these dampers are to be decommissioned with their internal components locked in the open position. Any decommissioned dampers must also have their control points removed from the fire alarm system.

Sizes and locations of existing dampers are based on the best available existing drawings; thus, it is the contractor’s responsibility to field verify all relevant damper sizes and locations prior to ordering.

All new dampers, existing dampers that are scheduled for repair, and other dampers explicitly called out on the plans shall be tested by the Contractor.

Electrical Scope of Work:

The electrical contractor’s scope of work shall include correcting fire alarm system deficiencies identified in the Contract Documents. This includes adding smoke detectors, fire alarm speaker/strobes, speakers, strobes, modification of the lightning protection system, and access control in code deficient areas.

The head end PA system will be relocated to the fire alarm control room and be replaced one for one utilizing Biamp Vocia as basis of design for salient characteristics. Each remote PA system mixer/amplifier will be replaced as an alternate bid deduct.

To meet the NEC code requirements, portions of the existing lighting protection system located currently in egress pathways will need to be relocated. Lightning protection down conductors located within the stairwells will be routed outside of stairwells as much as possible and the remaining portions within stairwells will be enclosed in a 2-hour rated enclosure. Any electrical devices enclosed by the new 2-hour rated enclosure shall be made accessible via access panel.

New access control components will be added to modify new doors. These components will connect to the nearest existing access control panel with available space throughout the building. Where applicable, door hardware will require a 120V connection which will be wired to the nearest available space in existing life safety panelboards.
