About this file
These are Final Construction Documents for an Upgrade Fire Alarm System (FM) project at VA Black Hills Healthcare System, Fort Meade, South Dakota, located at 113 Comanche Road. The project number is 568-24-106 with an issue date of March 14, 2025, and Addendum 1 dated April 9, 2026. The design was prepared by Alesia Architecture P.C. (Elkhorn, Nebraska) as the prime architect, with specialized engineering support from Incandescence Life Safety, Inc. (Denver, Colorado), Specialized Engineering Solutions (Omaha, Nebraska), and OCMI, Inc. (North Bethesda, Maryland).
The scope encompasses a comprehensive new fire alarm system serving 26 buildings across the Fort Meade campus, including installation of new Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs), addressable smoke and heat detectors, manual pull stations, notification appliances (speakers, strobes, horns), and a networked fire alarm infrastructure with fiber optic interconnection between buildings. The project is phased: Phase 1 installs fire alarm network equipment in Buildings T296, 137, and 148; Phase 2 installs fire alarm systems at protected premises; Phase 2A maintains fire protection in occupied buildings (65, T144, T296) during installation; and Phase 3 demolishes the existing system after the new system is tested and approved. Buildings are classified as fully sprinklered or not fully sprinklered per NFPA standards. The design incorporates emergency voice communication systems in select buildings (53, 88, 89, 90, 46) and maintains general evacuation tone notification in others. All work must comply with NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code 2025), NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code 2024), VA Fire Protection Design Manual, and local Authority Having Jurisdiction requirements. The documents include detailed floor plans, fire alarm demolition plans, network diagrams, riser diagrams, and installation details for all 26 buildings, along with specifications for device placement, circuit routing, conduit installation, and coordination with sprinkler system supervision and elevator controls.
