Attachment 1 Sealed VA.WAC Fire Alarm - 100 Bid Set Drawings_.pdf

This is a 100% Bid Set of architectural and engineering drawings for a Fire Alarm Campus Upgrade project at Waco VA Medical Center. The project encompasses the design and installation of a new fire alarm system campus-wide across 24 buildings at the facility located at 4800 Memorial Drive, Waco, TX 76711, with project number 674A4-21-108.

The drawings specify comprehensive fire alarm system requirements including manual pull stations, smoke detectors (photoelectric and duct-mounted), heat detectors, notification appliances (speakers and strobes), water flow switches, pressure switches, and fire alarm control panels (FACPs) to be installed throughout multiple levels of each building. The system will be zoned per floor with main graphic annunciator panels located in Buildings 225 and 18, and a secondary monitoring station in Building 18. All existing fire alarm devices and equipment must be demolished and replaced with new systems that comply with NFPA 72 standards and VA design guidelines. Key requirements include installing fire alarm cables in metal raceways, coordinating device locations with structural members, sprinkler systems, and HVAC equipment, concealing raceways in finished spaces, sealing all penetrations of fire-rated construction with approved firestopping materials, and maintaining functionality of existing systems during phased installation. The contractor must verify all necessary device counts, coordinate with other trades to avoid conflicts, and provide proper labeling and documentation of all installations. Specification Section 28 31 00 (Interior Fire Alarm System) governs the work, with design prepared by CB Design Group (Architect), Huitt-Zollars (Electrical), and Leo A Daly (Fire Protection), issued at 100% completion level dated June 25, 2021.
