About this file
This document is the specifications section of a solicitation for the construction of an Air Support Group Operations Complex for the Washington Air National Guard.
The solicitation requires the construction of a new facility including fire suppression systems. Wet pipe sprinkler systems are specified for all building areas in accordance with NFPA 13. A preaction sprinkler system is required for certain areas and must meet the requirements of NFPA 13 and NFPA 72. Fire protection specialization and sprinkler installation qualifications are defined.
The solicitation specifies steel piping components, valves, sprinklers, accessories, fire department connections, and backflow prevention for the wet and preaction sprinkler systems. Control panel requirements for the preaction system are outlined. Piping installation standards are provided along with seismic protection requirements. Inspections, preliminary testing, and final acceptance testing are defined. Training by a fire protection specialist is also required.
The response date is not provided as this appears to be specifications from an existing solicitation rather than a new notice. The Army National Guard and Department of Defense are identified as the involved agencies.

1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Furnish piping offsets, fittings, and any other accessories as required to provide a complete installation and to eliminate interference with other construction. Install sprinkler system over and under ducts, piping and platforms when such equipment can negatively effect or disrupt the sprinkler discharge pattern and coverage. Provide wet pipe sprinkler system in all areas of the building. Except as modified herein, the system shall be designed and installed in accordance with NFPA 13 . Pipe sizes which are not indicated on drawings shall be determined by hydraulic calculation. Design any portions of the sprinkler system that are not indicated on the drawings including locating sprinklers, piping and equipment, and size piping and equipment when this information is not indicated on the drawings or is not specified herein. The design of the sprinkler system shall be based on hydraulic calculations, and the other provisions specified herein.
1.2.1 Hydraulic Design
Hydraulically design the system to discharge a minimum density of 0.20 gpm/square foot over the hydraulically most demanding 3,250 square feet of floor area for areas designated as OH and a minimum density of 0.2 gpm/square foot over the hydraulically most demanding, 500 square feet of floor area for areas designated as LH. The minimum pipe size for branch lines in gridded systems shall be 1-1/4 inch. Hydraulic calculations shall be in accordance with the Area/Density Method of NFPA 13 .
1.2.1.1 Hose Demand
Add an allowance for exterior hose streams of 250 gpm to the sprinkler system demand at the fire hydrant shown on the drawings closest to the point where the water service enters the building.
1.2.1.2 Basis for Calculations
The design of the system shall be based upon a water supply with a static pressure of 65 psi, and a flow of 1,912 gpm at a residual pressure of 43 psi. Water supply shall be presumed available at the point of connection to underground water supply. Hydraulic calculations shall be based upon the Hazen-Williams formula with a "C" value of 120 for steel piping, 150 for copper tubing, and 140 for new cement-lined ductile-iron piping.
SECTION 21 13 13.00 10 Page 3
1.2.1.3 Hydraulic Calculations
Submit hydraulic calculations, including a drawing showing hydraulic reference points and pipe segments and as outlined in NFPA 13 , except that calculations shall be performed by computer using software intended specifically for fire protection system design using the design data shown on the drawings. Software that uses k-factors for typical branch lines is not acceptable. Calculations shall be based on the water supply data shown on the drawings to substantiate that the design area used in the calculations is the most demanding hydraulically. Water supply curves and system requirements shall be plotted on semi-logarithmic graph paper so as to present a summary of the complete hydraulic calculation. Provide a summary sheet listing sprinklers in the design area and their respective hydraulic reference points, elevations, actual discharge pressures and actual flows. Elevations of hydraulic reference points (nodes) shall be indicated. Documentation shall identify each pipe individually and the nodes connected thereto. Indicate the diameter, length, flow, velocity, friction loss, number and type fittings, total friction loss in the pipe, equivalent pipe length and Hazen-Williams coefficient for each pipe. For gridded systems, calculations shall show peaking of demand area friction loss to verify that the hydraulically most demanding area is being used.
Also for gridded systems, a flow diagram indicating the quantity and direction of flows shall be included. A drawing showing hydraulic reference points (nodes) and pipe designations used in the calculations shall be included and shall be independent of shop drawings.
1.2.2 Sprinkler Coverage
Sprinklers shall be uniformly spaced on branch lines. In buildings protected by automatic sprinklers, sprinklers shall provide coverage throughout 100 percent of the building. This includes, but is not limited to, telephone rooms, electrical equipment rooms, boiler rooms, switchgear rooms, transformer rooms, and other electrical and mechanical spaces.
Coverage per sprinkler shall be in accordance with NFPA 13 , but shall not exceed 100 square feet for extra hazard occupancies, 130 square feet for ordinary hazard occupancies, and 225 square feet for light hazard occupancies. Exceptions are as follows:
a. Sprinklers may be omitted from small rooms which are exempted for specific occupancies in accordance with NFPA 101 .
1.3 SUBMITTALS
Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation;
submittals not having a "G" designation are for Contractor Quality Control approval. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government.
Submittals with an "S" are for inclusion in the Sustainability eNotebook, in conformance to Section 01 33 29 SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING. Submit the following in accordance with Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES:
