Comment by Clark, Benjamin E CIV USCG SFLC (USA): The level of communication and monitoring in those spaces while the testing is going on is up to the ship’s crew and QA to agree with the contractor, but there should be some written plan in place.

TABLE 1 – NFPA-72 ANNUAL FIRE ALARM TEST

DESCRIPTION

Test and Visual Inspection of Panel Functionality

Test Panel Battery Charger

Battery Discharge Test

Test and Visual Inspection Horns, Strobes, Chimes and Bells

Test and Visual Inspection of Smoke Detectors

Test and Visual Inspection of Heat Detectors

Replace Sealed Lead Acid Battery every Five Years (Verify Expiration Date on the Battery and Submit a CFR)

Smoke and Heat Detectors: Replacement is recommended every 10 Years

3.3 Fire detection system inspect and test. The Contractor must perform inspection and test of the Fire Alarm System in the presence of a Coast Guard inspector or Coast Guard personnel. Testing must be performed in accordance with NFPA-72 (i.e. National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and OEM tech manuals. The Contractor must perform 100 % test on all field devices (i.e., ALARM-INITIATING DEVICES AND CIRCUITS) listed in the system drawing. Submit CIR.

3.3.1 The Contractor must supply and install sealed lead acid batteries (i.e. Battery 12 Volt, 2.3 Ah, Quantity 2) mounted inside Fire Alarm Control Panel in accordance with the OEM tech manual. Submit a CFR. Comment by Martin, William L IV CPO USCG SFLC (USA): The above table notes “every 5 years”, will these batteries not be replaced if they are within expiration period or will be if they will expired before next servicing? Comment by Rodriguez-Lupica, Jacob J LTJG USCG SFLC (USA): Recommend we remove “every Five Years (Verify Expiration Date on the Battery and Submit a CFR)” Comment by Rodriguez-Lupica, Jacob J LTJG USCG SFLC (USA): The CFR in 3.3.1 should provide the cutter with the battery install date and recommended replacement date Comment by Hyacinth, Melissa N ENS USCG SFLC (USA): @Clark, Benjamin E CIV USCG SFLC (USA) Comment by Clark, Benjamin E CIV USCG SFLC (USA): Verification of expiration is good, doesn’t need to be changed every time.

NOTE

The Contractor must perform only applicable test on the Fire Alarm System. Some of the test identified on the attached Data Sheet may not be required on installed Fire Alarm System on the Cutter.

3.3.2 The Contractor must perform applicable tests on the Consilium Fire Detection System with assistance from Tech Rep in accordance with the OEM tech manual. These tests must include fault detection tests, control unit and repeater panel tests, cable tests, firmware verification and the testing of horns, strobes, chimes and bells for proper operation. Submit a CFR. Comment by Rodriguez-Lupica, Jacob J LTJG USCG SFLC (USA): Take out Central, it will only confuse the KTR Comment by Rodriguez-Lupica, Jacob J LTJG USCG SFLC (USA): Replace Central with Consilium

3.3.2.1 Perform applicable test as identified in NFPA Standard 72 Table 14.4.3.2, record on a suitable checklist created for the purpose of this test. Submit a CFR.

3.3.2.2 With assistance from ship’s crew, verify signals from Fire Alarm Control Panel to CGMCS display console.

3.3.2.3 The Contractor must verify operation of the repeater panel on the bridge (pilothouse).

3.3.2.4 Certify that Fire Alarm System on the Cutter is operating properly by signing the end of the test document with identification, company, and licensing/credentialing information. This step must only be completed once repairs are completed to the satisfaction of the Coast Guard inspector.

3.4 Repair system discrepancies according to CIR. The Contractor must make repairs and conduct calibration as needed to restore operability to malfunctioning components within the system. Comment by Rodriguez-Lupica, Jacob J LTJG USCG SFLC (USA): This will make it difficult for the contractor to bid accurately. They won’t know the extent of any repairs until the condition is found. A contract vehicle needs to be put in place to create the ability for growth. Such as “Submit CFR” which will allow us to create a CR and issue a modification change Comment by Rodriguez-Lupica, Jacob J LTJG USCG SFLC (USA): Recommend changing to Submit CFR for any calibration or repairs of equipment needed Comment by Hyacinth, Melissa N ENS USCG SFLC (USA): @Clark, Benjamin E CIV USCG SFLC (USA) Comment by Clark, Benjamin E CIV USCG SFLC (USA): @Rodriguez-Lupica, Jacob J LTJG USCG SFLC (USA) There’s already a CIR after the testing is complete, the CR can come from that. Numbering of the WI will be changed to make this more clear.

NOTE

Coast Guard personnel will operate all shipboard machinery and equipment.

3.5 Operational test – post repairs. After completion of work, the Contractor must witness an operational test (by Coast Guard personnel) of all items or shipboard devices that have been disturbed, used, repaired, altered, or installed, to prove that they are in satisfactory operating condition. Submit a CFR.

3.6 Touch-up preservation. The Contractor must prepare and coat all new and disturbed exterior and interior surfaces to match existing adjacent surfaces, in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 6310, Appendix A (Cutter and Boat Exterior Painting Systems) and Appendix B (Cutter and Boat Interior Painting Systems), respectively, and as applicable.
