STATEMENT OF WORK

1.0 DESCRIPTION

Replace a total of 44 heat sensors and 95 smoke detectors that are beyond their ten-year lifespan. The power supply for each of the eight fire alarm systems will also be replaced. All new and existing fire alarm components will be integrated into a recently installed Digital Monitoring Products (DMP XR150) system that currently handles only security alarm components. All systems use commercial electrical power with back-up rechargeable batteries in the event power is lost. Every heat sensor and smoke detector installed must be tested and listed on the report or in an attachment to the report. The installed devices must be properly received by the alarm company receiving alarm reports, supervisory signals, and trouble signals from each alarm system. Disconnect AC/DC power from old fire alarm systems and remove from walls.
