CONTROL (TRACON), PHILADELPHIA, PA

RETROFIT OF FIRE ALARM CONTROL UNIT

(FACU) AND DEVICES INTO THE EXISTING FIRE

ALARM SYSTEM

STATEMENT OF WORK

BACKGROUND: The existing fire alarm system at the PHL ATCT/TRACON is the Siemens

Industry MXL product line, which is now obsolete and no longer supported by the manufacturer.

At the present time, signaling line devices and circuit cards of the system that have failed in service need to be replaced with used devices from third party sources, and due to their rarity are either difficult to find or expensive. This can result in the fire alarm system being out of service either in part or in whole. A decision was made to convert the fire alarm system to Siemens’ current

FireFinder XLS system using their retrofit kit.

GENERAL: Removing older in-service fire alarm system hardware and replacing with new fire alarm system hardware using retrofit kits from the same manufacturer (Siemens), including new

Fire Alarm Control Unit (FACU) hardware and remote annunciator hardware as well as all alarm initiating devices in one (1) Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) at PHL ATCT/TRACON.

ADDRESS: PHL ATCT/TRACON is located at 15 Hog Island Rd, Philadelphia, PA 19153.

SCOPE OF WORK: The contractor must furnish all labor, supervision, materials, services, insurance, and equipment necessary to perform the following work:

A. Using a retrofit kit replace all electronics in the existing Siemens main fire alarm unit

(FACU) model MXL with new Siemens FireFinder XLS series electronics.

B. Using retrofit kits, replace four (4) existing fire alarm remote annunciators with new remote annunciators.

C. Convert existing fire alarm program to XLS system format and program software to result in the complete integration of new and existing devices into a fully operational fire detection and alarm system.

D. Replace obsolete Siemens fire alarm input devices in existing facility Signaling Line Circuit

#3 (see Drawing FA-1) with newest generation Siemens fire alarm input devices. Provide all input and ancillary devices and equipment as needed for a complete replacement of SLC#3 to allow its integration into the new retrofitted XLS series FACU and its continued use of the obsolete fire alarm input devices in the balance of the system. Replacement must include all detectors, pull stations, addressable interface devices with or without relays, and remote status & alarm indicators.

E. Provide and install all other equipment, devices and wiring not expressly stated that are necessary for the installation of a fully operational retrofit of the existing system with new devices on SLC#3, such as: device loop card(s), network interface card(s), cardcage(s), printer or other device module(s), batteries, enclosures, and adapters.

F. Once replaced with new devices, provide all existing obsolete Siemens fire alarm input devices removed from SLC#3 to the COR for use as spares.

G. Provide a new Siemens portable Device Programmer to the COR. The Device Programmer must be able to test, program and address the fire alarm system devices. Instruct the PHL FAA

Tech Ops ESU manager and coordinator in its use.

H. Provide a full system inspection and test of the Fire Alarm system after all work has been performed as required by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard 72.

I. After the installation is complete, update all Fire Alarm as-built Computer-Aided Design

(CAD) format drawings provided by the FAA to the Contractor. The FAA will provide the set of

Drawings FA-1 through FA-5. Not every drawing will have to be updated as part of the work under this contract.
