ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.1 Background: Delta-01 Launch Control Facility was constructed in 1962-63, is a one-story ranch-style Launch Control support building and the Vehicle Heated Storage Building are constructed of prefabricated steel and situated on concrete foundations The underground Launch Control Center is concrete vault located thirty-two feet below ground.

Current System Description: There are multiple fire alarm systems serving these facilities. Each bedroom in the LCF is equipped with a 120VAC powered smoke alarm. These smoke alarms are not monitored nor tied into any fire alarm control unit. An Edwards brand spot-type heat detector is located in the corridor between the two bathrooms. The model number is unknown, but some documentation obtained indicates that it may be tied to the Ademco FASCU described below. A couple of rooms and the attic space have old style gold colored dome-type rate- of-rise heat detectors in them. It is unknown whether these are still connected to any of the active fire alarm systems in the building. There is a Gamewell Flexalarm radio-based fire alarm system with associated bells located in the Security Office of the LCF. This system is no longer in service. While none of the components listed in this paragraph are required to continue to provide life safety or property protection, they are considered a part of the historic fabric of the building and must be preserved.

The majority of the LCF and Garage are protected by a 1995 vintage Ademco Vista-128FB combination fire alarm and security control unit. The main control panel for this system is located in the Telephone Equipment Room of the LCF and includes a newer Honeywell user interface annunciator with keypad, a built-in digital alarm communicator transmitter (DACT), a built-in power supply for fire alarm notification appliances, separate additional power supplies for security system components, and several zone extender cards to provide addresses to non-addressable devices. The DACT is connected to two separate plain-old telephone system (POTS) lines to accommodate relaying active signal information to the Pennington County Emergency Services Communications Center in Rapid City, SD.

With the exceptions of the LCF Attic space, the Garage Fire Pump Room, and the Garage Furnace Closet, complete area smoke detection is provided throughout both structures via spot-type addressable Ademco 5192SD photoelectric smoke detectors. Non-addressable Chemtronics 604 spot-type fixed-temperature heat detectors provide full coverage of the LCF Attic space. The Garage main bay is protected by non-addressable Chemtronics 601 spot-type combination rate-of-rise/fixed-temperature heat detectors in addition to the smoke detectors mentioned previously. The Garage Furnace Closet is no longer protected by any automatic initiating device, but the junction box and wiring where a heat detector was previously installed remain visible. Manual pull stations (either Ademco 5140MPS-1 or Honeywell S464A1003-2 model) are located near every exterior exit door from both structures with the exception of the Telephone Equipment Room in the LCF. These manual pull stations are considered a part of the historic fabric of the structures and must be preserved. Fire evacuation occupant notification is achieved through System Sensor Model P2475 horn-strobes located in the main sections of each building. These horn-strobes are powered by the Ademco fire alarm and security control unit. All strobes are 75cd. addressable spot-type photoelectric smoke detector protecting the Fire Pump Room in the Garage, and a Siemens addressable manual pull station near the Fire Pump Room exterior exit door. A single exterior weatherproof Gentex horn-strobe on the side of the Garage is powered by this system. This FACU sends alarm, trouble, and supervisory signals

DIVISION 1 – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

to the Ademco FASCU for monitoring purposes; it is not equipped with its own DACT or other reporting means.

Both buildings are fully protected by nitrogen purged dry-pipe sprinkler systems fed from a dedicated diesel engine driven fire pump pulling water from an aboveground fiberglass reinforced plastic water storage tank located in the Garage. Since the scope of this project was focused on the operation, evaluation, and repair of the fire alarm systems in the buildings, these fire suppression systems were not specifically evaluated for code compliance.

In 2018, a project was completed to modify the existing fire suppression systems in both buildings. As a part of that project, a new Siemens Cerebrus Model FC922 addressable fire alarm control unit was installed in the Fire Pump Room in the Garage. This FACU is used to monitor valve supervisory switches, waterflow switches, air/nitrogen pressure switches, and fire pump system operations related to the automatic sprinkler systems serving the buildings. This FACU is also used to monitor a Siemens Cerebrus Model OP921. Heat detectors on the western two-thirds of the LCF Attic space are not securely mounted to their backboxes and are dangling from their wires. If these devices are to remain in service, they should be re-affixed to their backboxes.

Code Compliance and Historical Structure: The LCF is classified as a Business occupancy under NFPA 101, Section 3.3.198.3. It is not required to be equipped with a fire alarm or detection system by NFPA 101, Section 38.3.4.1. The Garage is classified as a Storage occupancy under NFPA 101, Section 3.3.198.15. It is not required to be equipped with a fire alarm or detection system by NFPA 101, Section 42.3.4.1. However, one of the primary goals of the NPS is the preservation of historic structures, materials, and collections. In support of this goal, Reference Manual 58: Structural Fire Management, Chapter 7: Fire Protection for Historic Structures, promotes the use of fire detection and suppression systems to provide early warning and suppression of potentially devastating fire conditions. In this vein, it is recommended that smoke detection be maintained throughout the structures. Since sprinkler protection is also provided throughout both buildings, there is no need to maintain active heat detectors as a part of the fire alarm system, as their response would parallel the activation of the sprinklers in the same space. Consideration should be given to replacing the existing heat detectors in the combustible LCF Attic space with smoke detectors to provide an enhanced level of protection in the event that a fire begins within that space. Consideration should also be given to installing a smoke detector in the Garage Furnace Closet to provide full area protection of both buildings.

Manual pull stations throughout the facility are mounted such that their operating mechanism is greater than 48 inches above the finished floor and are not in compliance with NFPA 72, Section 17.5.6.

However, as previously mentioned, these manual pull stations are considered to be a part of the historic fabric of these structures and must be preserved. Since the manual pull stations are not so far out of compliance that they are unusable and having two manual pull stations next to each other at different heights could be confusing in the event of an emergency, it is recommended that approval be obtained from the AHJ and they be left as installed.

NFPA 72, Section 17.15.9.4, requires manual pull stations to be located within five feet of each exit doorway on each floor. The existing fire alarm system is not in compliance with this provision due to the lack of a manual pull station at the exterior exit door from the Telephone Equipment Room in the LCF. It is recommended that an additional manual pull station be installed within five feet of the exterior exit door from this room.

Occupant notification is lacking in the utility rooms of the LCF and the Fire Pump Room of the Garage.

Additional horns or horn-strobes should be installed in these spaces to ensure code compliant notification coverage in accordance with NFPA 72, Section 18.4.

DIVISION 1 – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

NFPA 72, Section 26.6.4.2.4.1(4), only permits DACTs to utilize two separate telephone lines to constitute the dual transmission means required if there are no other technologies available at the protected premises. Since there are both cellular phone service and non-government internet service available at this facility, a second technology should be chosen for use as a second means of transmission if a DACT will continue to be utilized as the primary means of reporting for the system.

NFPA 72, Section 10.4.7, requires that abandoned fire alarm equipment be removed, and that it be marked “not in service” until it is removed. However, this is counter to the preservation of historic fabric goal of the NPS. Due to the use and historic nature of this facility, it is recommended that AHJ approval be obtained and this code provision not be enforced.

A majority of aboveground fire alarm wiring observed was installed in ½-inch electrical metallic tubing (EMT) or ½-inch flexible metallic tubing (FMT). Some of the FMT lengths appeared to exceed the maximum permissible length of six feet as prescribed by NFPA 70, Article 360.12. As modifications are made to the system moving forward, any FMT in excess of six feet in length should be modified to comply with NFPA 70 requirements. Any new EMT added or replaced should also be verified to comply with the maximum fill requirements of NFPA 70, Chapter 9, Table 1.

1.2 Work Covered by the Contract Documents:

A.Project Location: Delta-01 Launch Control Facility is located at 24301 200th 6th Avenue, Phillip, SD 57567. Exit 127 off Interstate 90, ½ mile north of the overpass.

B.Work consists of: Replacing the current Ademco fire alarm and security control unit (FASCU) which was installed in 1995 and will no longer call-out to the Pennington County Emergency Services Communications Center in Rapid City, SD. Remove the Siemens fire alarm control unit (FACU) installed as part of a 2018 fire suppression system project. Create a junction box for all the associated wiring from the Siemens panel, all wiring runs to the 1995 FASCU for reporting to the monitoring station, installing new smoke detectors, and installing a new, addressable, non-voice, non-proprietary/open-source fire alarm control unit.

1. Disconnect all wiring from the Ademco Vista-128FB fire alarm and security control unit located in the Telephone Equipment Room. Separate wiring serving fire alarm devices and appliances from wiring serving security devices and appliances. Pull security related wiring back to, and leave coiled in, the existing tan colored terminal cabinets in the Telephone Equipment Room. Leave security devices and appliances as-is throughout the buildings.

2. Demolish the Ademco Vista-128FB fire alarm and security control unit, associated Honeywell annunciator, integral DACT, and integral power supply. Demolish the existing Siemens Cerebrus Model FC922 fire alarm control unit located in the Fire Pump Room.

Demolish all other existing Ademco and Siemens fire alarm system devices and appliances.

3. Protect existing non-addressable manual pull stations in place (they will be returned to service and are considered a part of the historic fabric of the building). Protect existing gold colored dome shaped rate-of-rise type heat detectors in place (they will not be returned to service but are considered a part of the historic fabric of the building).

Disconnect power from existing 120VAC smoke alarms and the heat detector in the hallway near the bathrooms, but protect these devices in place as they are considered a part of the historic fabric of the building. Protect the existing Gamewell Flexalarm radio-based fire alarm control unit and associated bells in place as they are considered a part of the historic fabric of the building.

4. Existing fire alarm system wiring and conduit may be re-used as described below;

demolish any unused fire alarm system wiring and conduit.

5. Disconnect power from existing smoke alarms and the heat detector in the hallway near the bathrooms. This will reduce the risk of electrical shock and electrical fire associated

Kohlhapp, Kevin Removal I think should say installation? Please clear this up.

DIVISION 1 – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

with these aging devices.

6. Add a manual pull station within five feet of the exterior exit door from the Telephone

Equipment Room in the LCF. If a new FASCU is provided, put this device on its own new zone; if the Siemens FACU is expanded to monitor the entirety of both buildings, or if a new addressable FACU is provided to monitor the entirety of both buildings, provide an addressable device compatible with that system.

7. Add notification appliances in the utility support rooms of the LCF and the Fire Pump Room in the Garage to provide full coverage of both buildings. These appliances can be added to their own new circuits, as both control units are only currently using one of their two notification appliance circuits. Alternatively, these appliances could be added onto the existing notification appliance circuits as long as calculations prove that there will not be too much voltage drop. If the Siemens FACU is expanded to provide coverage of both facilities, then calculations should be performed to verify that a separate power supply will not be required based upon voltage drop in each circuit.

8. Replace existing heat detectors in the LCF Attic space with smoke detectors. While it is generally not ideal to locate smoke detectors within unconditioned spaces such as attics, if the goal is to ensure early warning of any potential fire in the structure, then smoke detectors are the best way to accomplish this goal. It is unknown whether there is adequate capacity on any of the existing addressable polling loops for the FASCU, and the heat detectors are all currently wired to the same zone in the FASCU. If a new FASCU is provided and there is not capacity on the polling loops, non-addressable smoke detectors could be used with the existing wire and would report as a single zone for the entire attic as the heat detectors currently do. If the Siemens FACU is expanded to serve both buildings, or if a new addressable FACU is provided to serve both buildings, there would not be any capacity issues adding these smoke detectors as individually addressed devices to the signaling line circuit. Alternatively, an aspirating smoke detection system could be installed in lieu of spot- type smoke detectors. This would allow for the electronics portions of the detector to be located within the conditioned part of the building and would simplify the annual testing of the device. The initial cost of installing the aspirating smoke detection system would be higher than using spot-type smoke detectors, but the lifetime maintenance cost should be lower.

9. Demolish the existing heat detectors in the Garage.

10. Install a smoke detector in the Garage Furnace Closet where a heat detector was previously installed. While it is generally not ideal to locate smoke detectors within unconditioned spaces such as this furnace closet, if the goal is to ensure early warning of any potential fire in the structure, then smoke detectors are the best way to accomplish this goal.

11. Obtain documented AHJ approval to leave the existing manual pull stations in service at their installed heights, even though they are not compliant with NFPA 72 mounting provisions. Maintain this documentation for presentation during future Fire Protection Conditions Assessments or other audits where this deficiency may again be noted.

12. Obtain documented AHJ approval to leave the existing abandoned fire detection and alarm system components in place without “not in service” signs on them. Maintain this documentation for presentation during future Fire Protection Conditions Assessments or other audits where this deficiency may again be noted.

13. Provide a new, addressable, non-voice, non-proprietary/open-source fire alarm control unit to serve the entirety of both buildings. Locate the new control unit in the Telephone Equipment Room. Ensure the control unit is capable of supporting all anticipated system initiating devices and notification appliances. Ensure the control unit is equipped with the ability to report alarm, trouble, and supervisory signals to the Pennington County Emergency Services Communications Center via a single POTS line and a non-government internet connection. Test these reporting system connections to ensure functionality. If a third reporting technology must be used due to the failure of one of the two preferred technologies, cellular reporting may be used. Regardless of which reporting

DIVISION 1 – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

method is used, ensure that all applicable cybersecurity requirements of the NPS are met. Provide additional power supplies as necessary to power the notification appliances.

Provide power to the control unit, power supplies, and communicator from a dedicated 20A circuit or circuits. Label the breaker(s) for this circuit(s) “FIRE ALARM” within the panelboard and provide breaker locks that are red in color for each circuit. Label each control unit, power supply, or communicator with the panelboard number, breaker number, and number of the room in which the panelboard is located. Provide secondary power to the fire alarm system via VRLA type batteries, sized to operate the system in standby mode for 24 hours followed by 5 minutes of alarm.

14. Provide new spot-type photoelectric smoke detectors in each location where an Ademco or Siemens smoke detector was previously located. Provide a new spot-type photoelectric smoke detector in the Garage Furnace Closet. Provide a new addressable manual pull station in the location where a Siemens manual pull station was located in the Fire Pump Room. Provide new monitor modules for each existing non-addressable manual pull station and sprinkler system interface device (valve supervisory switches, pressure switches, flow switches, etc.). Locate monitor modules in an accessible location that does not disturb or damage the historic fabric of the facility. Provide new addressable output modules for each existing relay/control module that was demolished, and as necessary to execute the required sequence of operations for the new fire alarm system.

Provide a new addressable manual pull station within five feet of the exterior exit door from the Telephone Equipment Room. Provide an aspirating smoke detection system to protect the entire attic space of the LCF. Locate the detector unit within a conditioned room of the building, preferably within the Telephone Equipment Room. Run aspirating smoke detector piping such that the end of line includes an inlet within the ground floor of the building such that testing can be accomplished without entering the attic space.

15. Provide new horns, strobes, or combination horn-strobes in each location where an Ademco or Siemens notification appliance was located. Provide new notification appliances in the utility rooms of the LCF and within the Fire Pump Room in the Garage to provide full building coverage. Ensure that strobe candela ratings and horn decibel ratings are adequate to meet the requirements of NFPA 72 for public mode notification.

16. Test each wire that is to be re-used to ensure integrity of the insulation and lack of shorts or ground faults. Do not re-use wire that is found to be damaged. Provide new wire as necessary for the system to function. Ensure any wire, whether new or re-used, is the proper size and type for the device or appliance to which it is connected, per the manufacturer’s recommendations. Validate that all conduits are the appropriate size for the wires to be routed through them, and do not exceed the maximum fill ratio specified by NFPA 70, Chapter 9, Table 1. Provide new conduits of a larger size for any sections that require them. Validate that all flexible metallic tubing utilized does not exceed a maximum of six feet in length.

17. Provide a documentation cabinet as described and defined in NFPA 72, Section 7.7.2.

Ensure all as-built drawings, product data sheets, O&M manuals, etc. are left in this box for the owner at the end of construction.

18. Coordinate with COR to obtain documented AHJ (NPS Regional Structural Fire Manager) approval to leave the existing manual pull stations in service at their installed heights, even though they are not compliant with NFPA 72 mounting provisions. Maintain this documentation for presentation during future Fire Protection Conditions Assessments or other audits where this deficiency may again be noted.

19. Coordinate with COR to obtain documented AHJ (NPS Regional Structural Fire Manager) approval to leave the existing abandoned fire detection and alarm system components in place without “not in service” signs on them. Maintain this documentation for presentation during future Fire Protection Conditions Assessments or other audits where this deficiency may again be noted.
