2. Fire Alarm Floor Plan Detail on sheet TK101 does not reference any of the existing smoke detectors. There are 5 currently installed including one above the FACP for the building. Are these to be removed for construction and reinstalled? Will heat detectors be required during construction?

A. Smoke detectors to remain, construction need to be protected at all times, so, if heat detector is required, then provide one.

3. The fire alarm control panel is not referenced on the drawings. Will this panel continue to have power to avoid it running on batteries or possibly powering down completely?

Is this to take the place of or be in addition to the existing wall mounted speaker strobe ("alert" style for MNS) on the south wall?

A. New fire alarm devices as shown to be connected to the fire alarm panel, the speaker above the fire alarm panel suppose to be a photoelectric smoke detector.
