1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This is a Design/Build project that includes the complete replacement of the existing fire alarm system at the J.L. King Federal Justice Center located in Miami, Florida. The project will include the complete removal of the existing fire alarm system including wire and all related devices and components, and the design and installation of a new fire alarm system which will serve the entire building. The new automatic fire alarm system will meet the requirements of the 2018 Edition of PBS-P100, 2019 Edition Of NFPA 72 and the 2018 Edition of NFPA 101, Life Safety Code. To include any modifications to the building required for the installation and all incidental and related work for a complete and functional fire alarm system.

A new Gamewell FCI– By Honeywell (E3) Complete Main Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with Voice Evac was recently installed (08/2019), including main panel with touch screen color display and graphic annunciator, microphone, amplifiers, Intelligent Loop Interface-Main Board, Intelligent Loop Interface-Expansion Board, DACT, all cards, monitor modules, and control modules, all located within the Fire Command Room. A new Remote Annunciator Panel was also installed in the U.S.

Marshals Control Room. This system was tested and accepted by GSA as 100% operational.

Therefore, the remainder of the entire building wide fire alarm system on all floors will be removed and replaced including but not limited to all initiating devices, notification devices, wiring, tamper switches, flow switches, monitor modules, control modules, door release devices, Firefighter’s phones, and any remaining conduit not conducive for reuse. All elevator shaft smoke detectors and various spot smoke detectors located throughout the building will be removed and not replaced. An additional remote annunciator will be installed in the O&M office. New Firefighter’s telephone handsets and cabinet to be installed in Fire Command Room.

The King Federal Justice Building is a 12-story, masonry and glass office building with 6 passenger elevators and 1 private elevator. There are no floors below grade. Courts have 6 District Courtrooms and 2 Court of Appeals Courtrooms in the Building. The building’s gross square footage is 315,716

The DB Contractor shall provide at the 100% final construction document submission, a submittal that shall contain information from the finish, hardware, lighting, and signage schedule, This information shall include: wall, floor, ceiling and specialty finishes, as well as hardware, plumbing fixtures, and lighting fixture specifications as designed and constructed. This document will guide the facility management staff in selecting finishes in all future alterations to the building, preserving the original design intent as established by the design team. If the building is listed in or determined eligible for the National Register and has a Building Preservation Plan (BPP), the Building Design Standards must comply with the BPP.

2.7.2 Sustainable Design/LEED®

The GSA is committed to incorporating principles of sustainable design and energy efficiency into all of its building projects.

2.7.2.1 Green Purchasing Plan

The GSA is required to buy recovered materials as designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the comprehensive procurement guidelines (CPG). Information can be obtained about the EPA list of designated products and accompanying recycled–content recommendations on the internet at www.epa.gov/cpg. Additional requirements for use of

Design & Construction Division www.gsa.gov biobased, rapidly renewable content, and recycled content materials are as per P100 2010 page 94.

2.7.2.2 Miscellaneous Green Requirements

In addition, the contractor shall develop the design in a way that implements the following environmental objectives:

● Eliminate or reduce the generation of hazardous waste and the need for special material processing (including special handling, storage, treatment, and disposal)

● Promote the use of nonhazardous and recovered materials

● Realize life-cycle cost savings

● Promote cost-effective waste reduction when creating plans, drawings, specifications, standards, and other product descriptions authorizing material substitutions, extensions of shelf-life, and process improvements

● Promote waste reduction through the use of duplexing (two-sides copying and printing) and electronic communications

2.7.3 Fire Protection/Life Safety

Except as otherwise indicated in referenced programming documents, fire protection and life safety design requirements must comply with PBS-P100, Chapter 7. As provided in PBS-P100 Chapter 7, fire safety during construction must comply with the requirements in the IBC, IFC, and NFPA 241.

NFPA 72 is the primary applicable standard regarding all fire alarm installation and NFPA 13 is the primary standard regarding all sprinkler installation. In cases where NFPA is silent on an issue, and IBC addresses the issue, the IBC requirement will apply. The DB Contractor registered fire protection engineer is required to be a full participant in the Project Delivery Team throughout the Design and Construction Stages of the project, and should be thoroughly familiar with PBS-P100.

For all projects involving fire protection engineering issues, the DB contractor shall have a Registered Fire Protection Engineer on the project team. A dialog must be established between the Design Team Fire Protection Engineer and the GSA Regional Fire Protection Engineer. The GSA Regional Fire Protection Engineer shall have the right to revise the specific requirements within PBS-P100, Chapter 7, based on a technical evaluation/analysis and the project’s specific need. The GSA Regional Fire Protection Engineer will serve as the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), and should be consulted regarding any code discrepancies or conflicts. Any such discrepancies or conflicts will be discussed with and decided by the GSA Regional Fire Protection Engineer.
