U.S. General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Greater Southwest Region

June 28, 2021

Scope of Work Amended

1. Project Title: Baton Rouge Federal Courthouse Fire Alarm Replacement Amended (Paragraphs 8.2.2; 8.9.2; & 8.21.11); ePM 59275

2. Project Location: LA0006BT Baton Rouge Federal Courthouse 707 Florida St.

Baton Rouge, LA 70801 All Floors

3. Building Location Hours: Every attempt must be made to ensure normal building operations are not interrupted. Operating hours for this facility are from 6 am to 5:30 pm. Notify GSA Project Manager and Building Manager and the Building Lessor Management Team of any work that may cause disruption during the day. Approximately 80% or more of the work will occur after normal operating hours. If work during normal operating hours needs to be accomplished the Project Manager must be notified a minimum of 72 hours in advance.

4. Purpose: The General Services Administration (GSA), Region 7, requests a complete replacement of existing fire alarm system at the Baton Rouge Federal Courthouse located at 707 Florida ST. The 60,000SF building was built in 1933 and contains 3 stories plus a basement and mechanical mezzanine. The primary tenants for this historic building include the courts, marshals, Social Security and Department of Justice. The existing Simplex 4100 Fire Alarm (FA) system was installed in 1992. The horn strobe system had deficiencies and does not meet audibility of NFPA 72 or PBS P-100. The new "intelligent," FA voice evacuation and communication system shall fully comply with NFPA 72 and PBS P-100 in all areas of intelligibility, audibility, and ADA compliance and in accordance with attached Fire Alarm design pkg which includes Narrative, Drawings and Specifications. In addition, existing system is currently connected to the adjacent federal building which is part of a multi-building system. The adjacent connected building has a Siemens fire alarm systems panel and thus the new system should have a Siemens system panel installed as well.

UL2524 Listed and NFPA72, NFPA 1221, IFC compliant signal boosters

2. The signal booster shall be a Class B Public Safety type as designated by the FCC or as required by the AHJ.

3. The secondary power supplies, battery chargers and system monitoring shall be fully compliant with NFPA 72, NFPA 1221 and IFC. The signal booster shall have both the primary and the secondary power supplies within a waterproof, type-4 approved enclosure.

4. All signal boosters and other active system components must have FCC certification prior to installation. The equipment FCC ID must be shown on the product datasheets and technical submittals. The ID must also be displayed on the product as required by the FCC.

5. The signal booster shall be pre-set by the equipment manufacturer for the frequencies specified by the AHJ. Field tuning of RF filters and duplexers is not allowed.

6. UHF and VHF signal boosters shall be band selective type with a maximum 3dB channel bandwidth of 200KHz (Fc +/- 100KHz) per band. Non-selective wide-band signal boosters shall not be accepted, unless required to cover multiple channels within the same band.

7. Signal Boosters shall have oscillation suppression circuitry to protect the public safety radio system in case of system malfunction or other causes. The oscillation suppression circuit shall not disable the system operation. Systems that automatically disable the signal booster upon oscillation detection shall not be allowed.

8. Signal Boosters shall have uplink noise suppression function to eliminate uplink noise while in standby (i.e. no radio transmission from within a building). Systems that produce any measurable level of uplink noise while in standby shall not be allowed.

9. Signal Booster gain shall be rated at minimum of 80dB and the gain shall be adjustable in a minimum of 30dB range. System gain shall be set and documented at the time of the final system test.

10. Maximum Propagation delay of the signal booster system shall be the lesser of 14μs

(microseconds) or as specified by AHJ.

11. The signal booster system shall include built-in automatic supervision of malfunctions of the signal booster and battery system as per NFPA 1221 NFPA 72 and IFC. Non-OEM equipment add-ons and modifications to comply with this specification shall not be allowed.

12. A dedicated supervised monitoring panel shall be provided within the emergency command center next to the fire alarm panel / annunciator or other location as designated by AHJ to annunciate the status of all signal booster locations. The monitoring panel shall provide visual and labeled indication of the following for each signal booster:

a. Normal AC power

b. Signal booster trouble

c. Antenna Failure

d. Loss of normal AC power

e. Failure of battery charger

f. Low battery capacity

13. The vendor shall verify the system monitoring requirements and the required annunciator location with the AHJ prior to system installation. System monitoring shall be fully compliant with the AHJ requirements.

14. Non-OEM External filters, duplexers, power supplies or other non-OEM additions or modifications of the original equipment shall not be allowed.

15. All signal booster components shall be contained in a type-4 approved and UL 50e listed watertight enclosure. All enclosures shall be painted red with external labeling as required by the AHJ.

D. Installation Requirements

1. Installation of all components of the Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement System shall comply with all applicable sections of the National Electrical Code NFPA-70, NFPA-72, NFPA 1221, IFC and / or as required by the local AHJ.

2. At least 2 independent and reliable power supplies shall be provided as specified in NFPA 72, NFPA 1221 and IFC.

3. The primary power source shall be supplied from a dedicated twenty (20) ampere branch circuit and comply with NFPA-70 National Electrical Code, NFPA 72 and NFPA 1221 2016 edition.

The signal booster shall be equipped with a secondary source of power. The secondary source of power shall be a battery system with a dedicated battery charger powered by a separate, dedicated twenty (20) ampere branch circuit. The secondary power supply shall power on automatically when the primary power source is lost. The secondary source of power shall be capable of operating the emergency responder radio coverage enhancement system for a period of at least 24 hours. The battery system shall automatically charge in the presence of external power input. Battery charger and all other electronic components must be fully enclosed in a waterproof Type-4 approved enclosure. Batteries shall be enclosed in a separate, vented Type-3R or Type-4 approved enclosure. External UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supplies) are not acceptable.

4. RF Coaxial Cable shall be a listed, CMP plenum. The cable classification shall be clearly marked on the outer surface of the cable regular intervals.

E. Acceptance and Test Procedures

1. Acceptance testing of an in-building radio system is required upon completion of installation.

2. The coverage testing shall be done in accordance with NFPA 72, NFPA 1221, IFC and as required by the local AHJ

3. All tests shall be conducted, documented, and signed by a person in possession of a current FCC General Radio Operator License.

4. All test records along with system diagrams, iBWave design, equipment specifications, user manuals, RF link budget calculations, battery backup calculation and other design data shall be submitted upon completion of the project, and as required by the AHJ.
