SCOPE OF WORK

PERFORM ANNUAL FIRE ALARM AND WATER--BASED FIRE SPRINKLER

INSPECTION & TESTING

All field work in 2026 shall be completed for tentative inspection between October 4 to October 6 to avoid interference with Visitor Center and other Park operations. The schedule shall be coordinated with the National Park Service. Within 10 days of contract award or at least 10 days prior to the beginning of inspections, the contractor shall submit a management plan including the certifications of the inspection personnel and a template of the inspection forms that will be used.

Glacier National Park requires Annual NFPA Inspection and Testing of fire alarm and monitoring systems; and water-based fire sprinkler systems. This work for 2026 includes 22 fire alarm systems and 23 water based fire sprinkler systems that are located across the park. In future years, the scope of work may be increased or decreased at the discretion of NPS based on area closures relating to other construction work, new construction or demolition of fire alarm or fire sprinkler system, or other factors.

The included buildings are located across the West Glacier, St Mary, Many Glacier, Two Medicine, East Glacier, and Walton areas of the park. Refer to the attached tentative schedule. The allotted time slots, based on past efforts, should be sufficient to complete all testing at each building.

The U.S. National Park Service Director’s Order 58 states: “The National Park Service hereby adopts, and will enforce as minimum standards, the most current version of the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Fire Prevention Code (NFPA 1), Life Safety Code (NFPA 101), and all other associated structural fire codes and standards.” The purpose of these codes is to prescribe minimum requirements necessary to establish a reasonable level of fire safety, and to protect property from the hazard created by fire. NPS adopted standards may be at variance with state and/or local fire safety codes. Where conflicts arise in the codes and standards, the Service will adhere to the more stringent requirements.

Each inspection and test report must identify each building by description, building number, and location. Follow the same identification format as used in this Scope of Work (SOW).

Scope of Work (SOW)

For visual inspection and test methods of the fire alarm system, the requirements of Chapter 14 in the current edition of NFPA 72 must be met. Inspection and Testing personnel shall be qualified as Level II in Fire Alarm Systems and on-site personnel shall be on site at all times during the work. Individual NICET certification numbers must be listed on each inspection report and will be verified by the NPS. Every device must be tested and listed on the report or in an attachment to the report. Devices not tested must be listed on the report and approved by the Contracting Officer.

For annual inspection of water-based fire protection systems, the requirements of the current edition of NFPA 25 must be met. Inspection and Testing personnel shall be qualified as NICET Level II in Inspection and Testing of Water-Based Systems and on-site personnel shall be on site at all times during the work. Individual NICET certification numbers must be listed on each inspection report and will be verified by the NPS. Every device must be tested and listed on the report or in an attachment to the report. Devices not tested must be listed on the report and approved by the Contracting Officer.

In the final annual report provide:

(1) One electronic copy of the Inspection Reports for each building.

(2) Each alarm or sprinkler system tested will be in a single document per system.

The contractor will be accompanied through the inspections by a representative of the National Park Service. Refer to the attached inspection schedule.

The inspecting company is not required to perform maintenance, immediate repair, alterations, replacement of parts, or make any field adjustments. Report identified issues found to the Contracting Officer in the Inspection Report. If the company determines immediate correction work related to life and safety is required, report this condition immediately to the Contracting Officer.

Fire Alarm – Annual Testing and Inspection

Provide annual NFPA inspection and testing of fire alarm and monitoring systems. For each location test, inspect and inventory all fire alarm related sensors/devices, which includes but is not limited to pull stations, smoke detectors, heat detectors, visual and audible signaling devices (strobes and sirens), transmitters, fire alarm control panels, dialers, fire alarm power supply (primary and secondary source). Testing will also include supervisor and trouble alarm reporting. Each building has one central control panel.

For sites that report to an alarm monitoring service; test devices to ensure that they are reporting alarms, supervisory signals, and trouble signals (where applicable) properly to the alarm monitoring service.

Report Outline

Per system, identify and describe by report, each fire alarm system with the following minimum information:

· Manufacturer and model of the system including fire alarm control panel, dialer and all fire related communication devices;

· Identify how each device reports to the fire alarm control panel e.g. SLC, or IDC;

· Ensure reporting is accurate for the device tested;

· Verify that supervisory and trouble alarms are reporting accurately;

· Identify if each device or battery backup passed or failed testing and inspection;

· For locations that report to a monitoring service verify that zones and/or address report accurately;

· Verify that the NPS fire alarm systems specifications within this contract are correct and note all deficiencies clearly by code violation and system;

· Notify the monitoring agency of the beginning and completion of each test.

Nuisance alarms caused by neglect to notify the monitoring agency may result in penalties where costs to the NPS are incurred. Restore systems to normal status. For a list of fire alarm locations in this contract see Attachment A.

Fire Sprinkler – Annual Test and Inspection

Provide annual NFPA inspection of water-based fire protection systems. Each building has one riser.

Per system identify and describe in the report the following information, at a minimum:

· Verify manufacturer data;

· Document report of site inspections using standard company forms;

· Verify all flow, supervisory, and tamper switches report to the fire alarm control panel and identify how they report;

· Verify that the water-based protection systems specifications are correct and note any deficiencies;

· Notify the monitoring agency of the beginning and completion of each test;

Nuisance alarms caused by neglect to notify the monitoring agency may result in penalties where costs to the NPS are incurred. Restore systems to normal status. For a list of fire alarm locations, see the Attachments.
