About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) Form for VA Contract 36C26125R0047, related to installing a backflow prevention device at the VA Northern California Health Care System (VANCHCS) McClellan Warehouse, Building 911. The RFI (Contractor RFI #006) was submitted on 05/14/25 and addresses technical specifications regarding a potential tamper switch connection to a fire alarm system.
The VA Project Manager's response clarifies that a tamper switch installation is not required, but a conduit with pull string must be installed. There is no existing fire alarm system in the building, and therefore no vendor contact information is available. The project involves installing a fire protection backflow prevention device to meet regulatory requirements for the Sacramento Suburban Water District, with all work to be performed by certified and licensed personnel. The solicitation is managed by Contract Specialist Nicole Renfrew, with proposals due by 10:00 AM PST on June 12, 2025.

PROJECT NAME: VANCHCS Install Backflow Prevention
Device MCC Bldg. 911

REFERENCE: N/A

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM OR INFORMATION BEING REQUESTED
The plans and specifications vaguely address the installation of a tamper switch connected to the existing fire alarm system. Will the VA clarify if this will be a requirement for this project, and if so, provide the related drawings and specifications depicting the work and the terminal point of connection? This work would require additional trenching and conduit to the building holding the FACP, and also possibly routed through the building to the actual point of connection. Also, will the VA provide the contact information for the vendor currently servicing the existing fire alarm system?
VA PROJECT MANAGER’S RESPONSE
The installation and connection of a temper switch is not required, hence, there are no related drawings and/or specifications depicting the work and a terminal point of connection. A conduit for installation of a tamper switch is required as indicated. Since there is no existing panel to connect the tamper switch within the building footprint; the conduit (with pull string) is the only requirement in this work. There is no existing fire alarm system for the building therefore the VA does not have any contact information of any vendor.
