FIRE ALARM GENERAL NOTES

A. THIS BUILDING REQUIRES A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM THAT COMPLIES WITH NFPA 72 2022

EDITION, NFPA 70 ARTICLE 760, NFPA 101 AND LOCAL VA CODES AND ORDINANCES.

B. FIRE ALARM DOCUMENTS SHALL BE PROVIDED BY OTHERS UNDER SEPARATE

CONTRACT AND SHALL BE USED FOR IFC. THE DOCUMENTS SHALL INCLUDE COMPLETE

DRAWINGS SHOWING ALL EQUIPMENT, DEVICES LOCATIONS, BATTERY

CALCULATIONS, SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS, POINT TO POINT WIRING, WIRING

LEGEND, FA RISER DIAGRAM, NON-LATCHING FIRE ALARM SYSTEM AND FIRE ALARM

MONITORING SHALL BE CONTACT ID POINT ADDRESSABLE TO THE REMOTE

SUPERVISING STATION VIA THE DIGITAL ALARM COMMUNICATOR BUILT-IN THE FACP

AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS REQUIRED BY THE VA.

REFER TO FINAL APPROVED MECHANICAL PLANS AND FIRE PROTECTION

SYSTEM PLANS FOR OTHER LOCATIONS OF FIRE ALARM EQUIPMENT AND/OR DEVICES

REQUIREMENTS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

C. THE FIRE ALARM CONTRACTOR SHALL BE AN AUTHORIZED

REPRESENTATIVE/DISTRIBUTOR BY THE MANUFACTURER. ACCEPTABLE DIGITAL

ADDRESSABLE SYSTEMS TO MATCH STATION'S STANDARDS.

D. THE EQUIPMENT AND DEVICES SHOWN ON THESE ELECTRICAL DRAWINGS

REPRESENTS A BASIS FOR DESIGN ONLY. THE SELECTED FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

CONTRACTOR IS EXPECTED TO BE FAMILIAR WITH THE ACCEPTED PRACTICES OF THE

VA AND SHALL INCLUDE ALL EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS AND LABOR TO MEET

ALL APPLICABLE CODES AND VA REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIFICATIONS.

E. IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FIRE ALARM SUBCONTRACTOR TO PROVIDE

A COMPLETE SET OF SHOP DRAWINGS REFLECTING A FULLY-FUNCTIONAL,

CODE-COMPLIANT INSTALLATION AS PER NFPA 72 2022, NFPA 70 ARTICLE 760,

NFPA 101 AND LOCAL VA CODES AND ORDINANCES. BIDS SHALL BE BASED UPON SUCH

A SYSTEM. CHANGE ORDERS FOR ADDITIONAL REQUIRED SYSTEM COMPONENTS

AND WIRING NOT SHOWN ON THE FIRE ALARM PLANS WILL NOT BE APPROVED.

THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM SUBCONTRACTOR SHALL SUBMIT A SEPARATE FIRE ALARM

SYSTEM DESIGN TO THE VA PER THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LOCAL CODE AND

ORDINANCES TO HAVE A FULLY FUNCTIONAL FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.

F. THE BUILDING SHALL BE TESTED BY A PRIVATE COMPANY HIRED BY THE CONTRACTOR

TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE VA REQUIREMENTS.

G. SHOP DRAWINGS ARE REQUIRED BY A LICENSED AND CERTIFIED CONTRACTOR.

ALL SHOP DRAWINGS MUST BE REVIEWED BY THE ORIGINAL ENGINEER OF RECORD

FOR THE PROJECT FOR COMPLIANCE TO DESIGN. ENGINEER OF RECORD MUST

PROVIDE A SIGNED LETTER WITH THE SHOP DRAWING SUBMITTAL STATING THE

PROJECT IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED.

H. THIS CAMPUS HAS STANDARDIZED EXISTING FIRE ALARM SYSTEM AND

RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL INSPECTION, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE.

THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR SHALL DIRECTLY HIRE EXISTING CAMPUS PROVIDER

AND COORDINATE ALL WORK WITH EXISTING FIRE ALARM MANUFACTURER.

I. THE DESIGN INTENT IS TO TIE THE NEW FIRE ALARM DEVICES TO THE EXISTING FIRE

ALARM TERMINAL CABINET CLOSEST TO SCOPE OF WORK.

FIRE ALARM DEVICES SHALL WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH THE EXISTING FACP.

UPON OPERATION OF A FIRE ALARM INITIATING DEVICE WITHIN THAT ZONE, A TEMPORAL

THREE ALARM SIGNAL AND VISIBLE APPLIANCES SHALL ONLY ACTIVATE WITHIN THAT

ZONE WHILE SENDING A VOICE MESSAGE THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING TO PROVIDE

STAFF RESPONSE IN A TIMELY MANNER AS DESCRIBED IN THE VA FIRE PROTECTION

Fire Alarm System Input Output Matrix

*While NFPA 101 does not require some detectors to notify building occupants, VA requires all smoke detectors, other than duct smoke detectors, to notify building occupants. Only install smoke detectors when required by NFPA 101 or its references.

** Those doors that are required to be tied to the fire alarm system such as delayed egress electrical locking systems and sensor release electrical locking systems.

*** This applies to Ambulatory Health Care Occupancies that require smoke barriers per NFPA 101 or are designed with multiple smoke zones.
