About this file
This document is a specification addendum for the Palmer Courthouse Renovation & Expansion project prepared by Stantec for the Alaska Court System, issued on March 31, 2026, at 100% construction documents phase. The addendum establishes comprehensive requirements for fire protection systems, including general fire-protection specifications (Section 21 00 00), common work results for fire-protection (Section 21 05 00), and facility fire-suppression water-service piping (Section 21 11 00). The scope encompasses hangers and supports, general duty valves for water-based systems, backflow prevention assemblies, identification systems, underground and aboveground fire-suppression piping of various materials (ductile iron, PVC, steel, copper, and polyethylene), valve types and sizes, water meters, detector check valves, concrete vaults, protective enclosures, and alarm devices. All materials and equipment must be UL-listed and Factory Mutual Global approved, with installation complying with NFPA 13, NFPA 24, NFPA 25, and applicable local building codes and standards. The Fire Suppression Contractor must retain a Supporting Professional Fire Protection Engineer for delegated design services and submit signed and sealed CAD drawings, hydraulic calculations, and letters of assurance as required by local bylaws and building codes.
Pricing terms, payment schedules, and set-asides are not specified in this technical specification addendum. The document focuses exclusively on technical requirements, material standards, quality assurance qualifications, installation procedures, field quality control testing protocols, and identification requirements. No incumbent information, funding sources, contract terms, or renewal options are identified. The specification requires the contractor to conduct hydrostatic pressure testing at one-and-one-half times working pressure, prepare field test reports and as-built drawings, and submit written certification to the authority having jurisdiction that the system has been installed in accordance with approved plans and tested per NFPA standards. All underground piping must be installed with polyethylene encasement, detectable warning tape, and joint restraint devices at mechanical connections and direction changes.
