About this file

This is a set of technical specifications and general requirements for a fire alarm system replacement project at Fort Simcoe Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center in White Swan, Washington. The project involves removing a damaged fire alarm control panel (FACP) and associated components, then installing a new addressable fire alarm system with updated devices, detectors, and controls.

The base contract item is measured as a lump sum and requires the contractor to supply all labor, materials, equipment, and utilities necessary to complete the fire alarm system replacement. The work includes removal and disposal of obsolete components, provision of shop drawings for approval, installation of new system components per approved drawings and code requirements, and comprehensive testing per NFPA standards with submission of inspection reports. The contractor must work between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, while the government occupies the site. Key qualifications required include journey-level electricians licensed in Washington State and NICET-certified fire alarm technicians for the alarm work. All work must comply with ICC codes, NFPA standards (particularly NFPA 72 and 720), and the National Electrical Code. Project schedule milestones include a pre-construction conference within 10 days of award, bonds due within 10 days, Notice to Proceed after pre-construction approval, action and informational submittals due 12 days after NTP, weekly progress reports, and final closeout submittals prior to Contracting Officer acceptance. The specifications also include detailed sections on cutting and patching procedures, selective demolition protocols, and installation requirements for addressable fire alarm systems with photoelectric/thermal detectors, heat detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, manual pull stations, notification appliances (horns and strobe lights), and a microprocessor-based control panel with remote annunciator capability.
