Description of Services VA Palo Alto Health Care System has a requirement to repair and maintenance of Automatic Fire Sprinkler System.

SCOPE: In order to meet both VHA Mandate, automatic fire sprinkler systems are required to be inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with NFPA 25, Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems and for VHA Directive compliance, NFPA 101 and NFPA 25.

Construction of facilities on Federal property is generally exempt from the requirements of local building codes and standards.

Therefore, VA must have its own process to ensure that facilities are designed, renovated, and constructed in accordance with VA policy and the codes and standards adopted by VA.

VA is required to comply with national consensus codes and standards. VA general requirements addressing construction codes and standards are found in the Office of Construction and Facilities Management (OCFM) document Program Guide (PG) 18-3, Topic 1, Codes, Standards, and Executive Orders. Specific VA requirements for fire protection are found in the VA Fire Protection Design Manual.
