T.1.2.4 ALL IDG LAND USE ZONES

a. General Guidelines

i. Voltage Systems: Project designs shall incorporate standard voltage systems. The standard voltage systems shall be one of following: 480 Volt delta 3 phase 3 wire, 480/277 Volt wye 3 phase 4 wire, 208/120 wye 3 phase 4 wire, and 240/120 1 phase 3 wire. 480/277 volts is preferred over 480 volts delta, and shall be used for new services to buildings. A ground conductor shall be extended for every circuit.

ii. Wire: Use only copper conductors except as specifically permitted by the Government. Use THHN or THWN insulated copper conductors for branch circuit and feeder applications. Use twisted shielded wire or other special conductors as recommended by the equipment manufacturer or as specified by the Government. Type NM cable will not be used except for residential construction or where specifically permitted by the Government.

Type NM cabling will also not be allowed in mechanical spaces, office areas or industrial areas. Type MC or AC cable shall only be used for lengths of 6 feet or less as permitted by Code for final connections to equipment subject to movement or vibration. For 120 volt 20 amp lighting and receptacle circuits with receptacles located over 100 circuit feet from the receptacle panel, utilize minimum 10 gauge wire, except that 12 gauge pigtails, properly spliced, may be used for the last 6 feet for connection to the receptacle. Do not allow shared neutrals for branch circuit wiring.

Run separate hot(s) neutral, and ground to the panel board for every branch circuit. For lighting fixtures recessed in suspended

Page T-3 ceilings, utilize short lengths (6 feet or less) of flexible metallic conduit, or 6 feet or less of type AC or MC cable for final connections. All feeders shall also be run with separate hot(s), neutral, and ground.

iii. Conduit: Unless noted otherwise, utilize EMT conduit in dry areas indoors where allowed by Code. Utilize compression type connectors.

Short lengths (6 feet maximum) of flexible metal conduit may be used for connection to light fixtures or equipment subject to vibration or movement where allowed by Code. Longer sections of flexible metal conduit or liquid tight flexible metal conduit may be used for fishing down hollow walls or other inaccessible spaces where allowed by Code. Utilize rigid galvanized steel conduit outdoors above grade. Provide an insulated bushing for box or equipment connections for all types of conduit.

iv. Conduit installation: Arrange conduit to maintain maximum headroom. Unless specifically permitted by the Government, do not create any new low spots, especially in hallways. When running above suspended ceilings, run conduit as high above suspended ceiling as possible. Conceal in new walls and partitions and above suspended ceilings.

Conceal conduit to the maximum extent possible. Conduit may be exposed in unfinished areas such as open basement areas. However, do not create new low spots, especially in areas such as corridors. Maintain 12 inch clearance between conduits and heat sources such as steam pipes. Conduits shall not block access to repairing valves or other mechanical or architectural features. Conduits shall not be supported from other conduit or piping or ductwork. In suspended ceiling

Page T-4 construction, raceways shall not be fastened to the ceiling supports or to the suspended ceiling. When penetrating walls or floors, core drill holes of a size no larger than required.

Locate floor penetrations close to walls to cause the least interference with usage of the space. Floor penetrations shall be located in mechanical or electrical rooms wherever feasible. Except for wiring related to the stairwell, do not use the stairwells as chases for conduit runs. Provide firestopping for floors and fire rated walls, and seal holes in non-fire rated walls. Unless noted otherwise, conduit installed outdoors and conduit exposed to view in finished spaces indoors such as offices shall be painted to match the adjacent surfaces.

v. The minimum box size shall be 4 inches by 4 inches, except that 2 inches by 4 inches shall be permitted for boxes that contain the final device and do not feed through to other devices. Boxes shall be a minimum of 1-1/2 inches deep. Plastic boxes are not allowed except where specifically permitted by the Government.

vi. All nuts, bolts, washers, and other hardware installed outdoors shall be galvanized or stainless steel.

vii. Provide engraved plastic nameplates with 3/16 inch high letters to identify all disconnect switches, starters, panelboards, circuit breakers(other than in lighting panelboards and load centers), and other major pieces of equipment by name and function, operating voltage, and maximum fuse size (if applicable). Submit nameplate wording to Government for approval. Labeling switches, Page T-5 for example, as SA, S-B, which are convenient labels used by a project designer for a specific project but which obviously do not follow any installation-wide naming convention, does not satisfy this requirement, since every job could potentially have switches with this name. The wording should use the naming conventions established or agreed to by the Government.

Use screws to attach nameplates.

viii. Switchboards: all switchboards must have copper busses, copper ground bar, with at least 25% extra ampacity and 25% extra distribution mounting space. Also provide room for extending the switchboard busses.

ix. Panelboards: All new panelboards must have at least 25% spare distribution device mounting space and 25% spare ampacity. All panelboards will be complete with copper bus bars and bolt on circuit breakers for general purpose lighting, receptacle, and appliance branch circuits. Each panelboard shall have a neutral bus and separate ground bar.

Panelboards will be used in the vast majority of electrical installations instead of load centers. There are some limited exceptions where load centers will be allowed, as is specified in the rest of this paragraph. Load centers will be allowed in family and troop housing areas, or in other areas as specifically permitted by the Government. Provide an engraved nameplate to indicate the operating voltage and phases and name of panelboard.

The nameplate shall be permanently mounted to the panelboard by means of screws or rivets. The identification label shall be laminated plastic. There shall be a main breaker or main disconnecting means integral to the panelboard. There are limited exceptions to this rule. If there is a

Page T-6 disconnecting means within sight of the panelboard, and also within 10 feet of the panelboard, with proper engraved nameplates indicating that this disconnecting means controls power to the panelboard, and if the Government has no other specific requirement for a main breaker or main disconnecting means to be integral to the panelboard, then the panelboard may be main lug construction.

If the panelboard is rated 400 amps or above and is a major distribution point for building feeders or is also the main service for a nonhousing building, incorporate feed-thru lugs in the panelboard, and allow room to permit a conduit or conduits to connect to these lugs.

x. Circuit Breakers: Circuit breakers shall be sized for the load being served. Unless permitted otherwise by the Government, 20 amp 1 pole, with standard interrupting capacity of 10,000 amps, shall be used for receptacle and branch lighting circuits.

Ground-fault interrupting circuit breakers shall be used for all 120 volt circuits supplying devices in wet or damp locations or outdoors, unless receptacle ground fault protecting receptacles are being used with the device.

Circuit breakers shall be of the bolt-on type for all panelboards.

xi. Disconnect Switches: Use heavy duty fused/non fused disconnect switches complete with visible switch blades.

xii. All motors shall be equipped with a disconnecting device (or plug if 120 volt plug and cord connected) capable of being locked out, located within 10 feet of the motor.

Exception: if the motor is part of a piece of

Page T-7 equipment that was manufactured with one lockable in the off position disconnecting device located at the equipment that controls all the motors on that piece of equipment, separate disconnecting devices are not required for each of the motors, unless specifically required by the Government or by Code.

xiii. Receptacles: Use specification grade, 20 ampere 120 volt, 3 wire grounding type, duplex, NEMA configuration 5-20R for all convenience outlets.

xiv. Loading of circuits feeding relocatable office partition cubicles: When refeeding relocatable office cubicles, provide at least one 20 amp 120 volt circuit for every three cubicles.

Provide additional receptacles for special office loads as required.

b. Fire Alarm System

i. Regulations: The designer shall ensure that the Fire Alarm System design complies in all respects to the most current editions of the UFC Criteria and the Fire Codes, especially

NFPA 72, 90A, and 101, except as modified by UFC 1-200-01, “Design: General Building Requirements”. Also pay special attention to UFC 3-600-01, “Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities”. The system must also comply with the latest edition of the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Guidelines.

ii. Wire and Cable: Use wire types and gauges as recommended by the equipment

Page T-8 manufacturer. Copper conductors shall be used.

iii. Initiation Devices: Utilize addressable devices for all new initiation devices, unless specifically approved otherwise by the Government.

iv. Notification Devices: Except as permitted by the Government, install speaker-strobes (or separate speakers and strobes) for all new notification devices. The strobe shall have an amber lens with “ALERT” and a clear lens with “FIRE” lettering. In this manner, these devices can be used for augmenting the mass notification system for the island and will not be dedicated to fire alarm alone. Also provide a means of activating the “ALERT” strobe.

New speakers in normally inhabited areas such as office spaces must be spaced for intelligibility in mass notification systems.

v. Control Panel: Ensure that each new fire control panel has 25% spare capacity for adding circuits. Provide the following four special bypass buttons to be programmed to perform the following functions: bypass notification devices, bypass elevator recall, bypass door release, bypass air handling unit shutdown. Locate all end-of-line resistors in the

Fire Alarm System control panel for maintenance purposes. In addition, provide for fire alarm outputs for control of HVAC shutdown and door release and elevator recall to be controlled by the fire panel rather than directly by the initiation devices in the field.

Such releases and recalls and shutdowns shall be arranged such that loss of 120VAC or 24VDC power by the fire panel will not activate the shutdowns or releases or recall functions.

Page T-9

vi. The circuitry configuration for initiation and notification devices may be class B unless specified otherwise for a particular project or unless specified otherwise by the Government.

vii. Wiring must also comply with NFPA 72

(National Fire Alarm Code) and NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code). Materials and methods must comply with the latest edition of Unified Facilities Criteria UFC 3-600-01.

(Design: Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities).

viii. All fire alarm wiring is to be in conduit. Utilize

EMT conduit in dry areas where permitted by Code.

ix. The Contractor must supply a NICET certified fire alarm technician to make all final connections at the fire panel and to supervise all final connections at all field devices.

x. All junction boxes which contain fire alarm wiring must be painted red.

xi. AC power or AC control wiring is not to be run in the same conduit as 24VDC fire alarm wiring or fire alarm communication wiring.

xii. Provide services of manufacturer's representative to test operation of Fire Alarm system after installation of the fire alarm and all associated wiring is complete.

Manufacturer's representative shall provide written certification to Contracting Officer Representative (COR) that equipment has been properly installed and is operating satisfactorily. Written certification shall include information required in NFPA 72. The Contractor shall notify the Government of the proposed times and dates

Page T-10 of the testing, at least 7 working days prior to any tests of the fire alarm system, to allow the Arsenal Fire Inspector and COR the opportunity to witness the test of the system.

The Government shall have final approval of the times and dates of the tests.

xiii. All testing of fire alarm systems which involves activation of the speakers, horns or strobes in a building must be conducted after normal working hours. Also, any testing which involves the shutdown of HVAC equipment shall be conducted after normal working hours. The COR has final approval of the times and dates of the testing of the speakers, strobes or HVAC shutdowns. However, the COR may, at his option, allow some testing during normal working hours.

xiv. Comply with UFC 4-021-01, Design and O&M:

Mass Notification Systems. Note that UFC 4021-01 requires, among other things, that LOC be installed in certain renovated spaces.

See the UFC Criteria for other details. The Rock Island Arsenal (RIA) Fire Department shall have final approval of the location or locations for the LOC. The LOC shall incorporate all of the standard voice messages already approved by the Fire Department, plus it should incorporate a microphone all set up in the system for voice announcements over the speakers. The LOC shall also incorporate the HVAC shutdown. This shutdown shall be independent of the DDC controls and shall also not shut down any HVAC just because the fire alarm system loses AC or DC power.
