About this file
This is an Addendum No. 1 to the specification for the Fire Protection System (Section 21 1300) for San Bernardino Fire Station 227, prepared by STK Architecture, Inc. The specification outlines the complete design, fabrication, and installation of an automatic fire sprinkler system for the new fire station facility, including all underground piping connections to city water mains, sprinkler risers, post indicator valves, Fire Department connections, and related components. The system must comply with NFPA 13 standards and local authority requirements. The scope includes hydraulically calculated wet or dry pipe systems with different density requirements based on occupancy type: 0.10 gpm/sq. ft. for light hazard areas (office, locker, and toilet rooms) and 0.20 gpm/sq. ft. for ordinary hazard areas (shop, parts storage, and service drive). The contractor must conduct water flow tests per NFPA 291 in coordination with public authorities, perform hydraulic calculations, prepare and submit detailed shop drawings for multi-stage approval, and provide all necessary permits and testing fees. The system requires comprehensive submittals including product data, preliminary and final shop drawings, hydraulic calculations, test reports, manufacturer's certificates, and closeout documentation before placement into service.
The specification requires the contractor to provide a one-year guarantee on all materials and labor from the date of completion and to correct any defects or deficiencies at no cost to the owner. All costs for permits, fees, inspections, testing, materials, labor, and equipment are included in the contract price. The contractor must coordinate work with all other trades, ensure sprinkler piping does not interfere with structural elements or mechanical systems, and install the system to yield to other building trades. Specific product requirements are detailed for pipes (Schedule 40 black steel, PVC, or Schedule 10 thin wall options), fittings, valves, alarm check valves, post indicator valves, sprinkler heads (chrome plated flush pendant type in finished areas), and fire department connections. Installation requirements include proper drainage provisions, earthquake protection per NFPA 13, concrete thrust blocks for underground mains, flexible couplings, hydrostatic testing at 200 psig for two hours, system disinfection per AWWA C651, protective painting with red bands or enamel at 20-foot intervals, and firestopping of all wall and floor penetrations. The contractor must provide spare sprinkler heads and tools in a labeled cabinet and coordinate all electrical and alarm system interfaces through the fire alarm contractor.
