About this file
This document is a technical questions tracking spreadsheet for solicitation number 36C77623B0060 for the EHRM Training and Administrative Support Space construction project at the Marion, Illinois VA Medical Center. The spreadsheet contains 95 questions received between July 31, 2023 and August 3, 2023 related to existing security, fire alarm, and sprinkler systems at the site and clarifications on specifications. Responses clarify that the security systems should interface with existing Siemens systems, provide data on existing fire alarm and sprinkler infrastructure, and confirm the superintendent can serve as both safety officer and quality control manager but no more than two roles. It also includes guidance on the extent of demolition for sprinkler systems and the need for a new zone control valve in the project area.

QUESTION GOVERNMENT RESPONSE
1. 7/31/2023 The specifications for this project indicate AMAG for the security systems. The current installed systems are Siemens SiPass for the PAC’s and Siemens Surveillance for the CCTV. Should this be changed to interface with the existing systems?
Yes This should be Sipass for the PAC’s and Siemens Surveillance for the CCTV
2. 8/2/2023 What is the existing Fire Alarm system? Siemens Desigo Modular
3. 8/2/2023 What is the existing Security system? Siemens Sipass and Siveillance
4. 8/2/2023 Sheet LS100 states “GC to apply spray on fireproofing to the underside of the structure in the tunnel access space to obtain a 2hr horiz. Fire rating”—I believe detail 10 on S-301 would satisfy the 2-hr rating, but if not please provide the associated SFRM UL design?
Detail 10 on S-301 is referencing the new “connector” tunnel between the 2 buildings. This is located on the exterior of both buildings.
The note in question is for the area under the Lab building, highlighted in red below, that was a crawl space(or inaccessible space) in the Lab building construction. This area of the basement would not have to be rated because it was a non-occupiable space. This project will change that condition because we will now have an occupiable space, “the connecting tunnel” under an occupiable space above.
UL Detail D916, for a 2 HR rating is the closest detail that I can find for the existing condition.
This would require 1-1/16” thickness of fireproofing be applied to the exposed beams.
Following UL G708, sprayed on fireproofing material would need to be applied ½” thick on the exposed metal deck and 1-1/2” thick on any exposed bar joists.

QUESTION GOVERNMENT RESPONSE
8. 8/2/2023 Can the site superintendent serve as the site safety officer, and quality control manager?
No, they can only serve in 2 roles at maximum.
9. 8/3/2023 Is there any flow test data for the site that can be provided for preliminary hydraulic calculation purposes?
Yes, See attached
10. 8/3/2023 General Note 5 on FX001 states to remove the sprinkler mains and branch lines back to the zone control valve as needed. The limit of demolition symbol is shown on FX101 as being a point in the northwest corner of the existing space. Please confirm that the limit of demolition symbol is correct and that is the extent of the demolition to the existing sprinkler system.
Intent is to replace the fire protection in the basement and install new that is coordinated with the other work shown. The NW corner of the basement is the apparent origin for sprinkler in the basement. Remove fire protection piping back to where it enters the basement.
11. 8/3/2023 Does the area of work need to be provided with its own zone control valve?
Please provide a new zone control valve for the basement area of work. Sprinkler Zone Valve detail is attached for reference.
12. 8/3/2023 The 21 13 13 spec states for all 2” and smaller sprinkler piping to be Sch. 40 with threaded end connections. Would Sch. 40 with grooved end connections be acceptable for piping 2” and smaller?
No. The VA Specifications require threaded fittings for 2” and smaller piping.
