1. INTRODUCTION / SUMMARY OF WORK PROJECT

Inspections identified that various existing rooms, doors and corridor conditions within the CMR do not meet updated fire safety codes or Department of State (DOS) risk mitigation guidelines. The work detailed in this SOW addresses these deficiencies by providing fire-rated assemblies, updated escape hardware, proper smoke and fire seals, and finishing work as required by code.

Address: The site is located at Paseo de La Castellana, 48. Madrid, Spain

For this Project, the contractor shall apply fire-resistant insulation to the ceilings of the bedrooms hall of the ground floor of the residence to isolate the hall for evacuation purposes. The work includes repairing the ceiling affected by the application of the fireproofing and painting the ceiling hall to maintain the aesthetic integrity of the Chief of Mission Residence. Additional scope includes ceiling and walls construction, painting, and sealing penetrations with fire-resistant materials. All modifications are to keep the same look and feel of the existing materials, but bring it up to modern fire, safety, and accessibility standards.

2.2 IMPLEMENTATION

AREA ISOLATION AND ACCESS RESTRICTION

The contractor shall provide a plan for the isolation and restriction of access to the area to be intervened.

Works must only be carried out by staff with technical knowledge to do so and always complying with the security rules.

If the contractor needs to open the ceiling to perform fireproofing work above, the ground floor must be fully protected. The contractor shall cover and protect the wallpaper, the floor and carpets in the area using plastic, carpets and cardboard, shall include any necessary replacements and final removal. The contractor shall remove and relocate furniture as required to protect it from damage during work at each area .The contractor shall remove and reinstall any electrical/data installation that could be affected in the working area.

The contractor shall take all necessary precautions to protect existing facilities, including but not limited to wallpaper, tiles, and flooring, HVAC units and ducts above ceiling.

No construction work shall begin until approvals of the Pre-Construction Submittals are accepted by the COR.

APPLICATION OF FIRE-RESISTANT INSULATION

The floor plan attached in Attachment A1-N1 identifies the walls and the ceiling of the evacuation hall that require fire resistance insulation.

Page 4 of 14 UNCLASSIFIED

If needed, open access points in the false ceiling of the corridor to facilitate the application of fireproofing materials.

Apply mineral wool mortar and nervometal mesh, or similar fireproofing material, to the ceiling, and specified walls around the evacuation hall, covering an approximate area of 65m². Total area shall be verified by the contractor during the site visit.

Identify and inspect all existing penetrations in walls surrounding bedrooms and hallways, including openings for pipes, electrical conduits, HVAC ducts, cables, and any other service penetrations.

Remove any non-compliant or degraded sealants and replace them with fire-rated sealants or firestop systems certified for a minimum 1-hour fire resistance rating.

Utilize approved materials such as intumescent sealants, mineral wool insulation, firestop collars, firestop mortar, or polyurethane fire-resistant foam, depending on penetration type and size.

Firestop all penetrations in accordance with EN 1366-3, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, and local Código Técnico de la Edificación (CTE) standards.

WALL UP TO THE CEILING FIREPROOF

The contractor shall construct fireproof walls extending from the actual top part of the wall to the underside of the structural slab ceiling. The walls shall be built using either fire-rated brick masonry or fire-rated gypsum board (drywall) systems to achieve a 1-hour fire rating. All materials and installation methods must comply with applicable building codes and fire safety regulations.

The fireproof walls must provide a continuous fire barrier with no gaps or voids, ensuring full separation as required by code. All penetrations for services (such as electrical, plumbing, or HVAC) must be properly sealed with approved firestop systems to maintain the integrity of the fire barrier.

See drawing A1- N1. Ground floor area to be intervened. Green LINE AREA

CEILING REPAIR AND FIREPROOFING (If ceiling openings are needed):

Repair and restore the false ceiling access points after the fireproofing application.

Paint the ceiling of the hall to match the existing ceiling finish.

Reuse existing lighting fixtures and fire detection system cables that could be affected, coordinate with electrical subcontractors for final connections.

Seal all gaps or joints with fire-resistant materials to maintain compartmentalization.

ALUMINUM CATWALK GRATING

Supply and installation of a structural metal catwalk to provide safe access on the roof.

The catwalk will facilitate fireproofing activities and allow for ongoing maintenance of equipment located above. The installation will cover approximately 20 square meters, replacing existing wooden walkways, and will be at least 24 inches wide. The metal catwalk grating will be specifically designed for walkways, offering a lightweight structure with excellent slip resistance to enhance safety. As a reference see Attachment A2-N3.

FIRE DAMPERS

Supply and installation of eight (8) fire dampers within the air conditioning ductwork system. Each damper will be equipped with a heat-activated sensor designed to automatically close the damper in the event of a fire, thereby preventing the spread of fire and smoke through the ducts. Installation will be carried out in accordance with relevant fire safety codes and manufacturer specifications. The work will also include integration with the existing HVAC system, functional testing of the sensors and dampers, and commissioning to ensure full compliance with fire safety requirements.

All the materials required shall be provided by the contractor.

DISPOSE AND CLEAN INTERVENED AREA(S)
