1. Project Description The project defined within this Scope of Work is the design and installation of a fire sprinkler system for the Kyle Health Center and the replacement of a dry sprinkler system for the Wanblee Health Center. The Kyle Health Center installation shall include the sprinkler piping, sprinkler heads, sprinkler system components, fire pump, sprinkler riser(s), and all other appurtenances required to install a new sprinkler system in an existing building. The Wanblee Health Center dry sprinkler system replacement shall include new sprinkler piping, new sprinkler heads, dry system components and all other appurtenances required to make the new sprinkler system fully functional. All existing sprinkler piping, and sprinkler components shall be removed and disposed of at the contractor’s expense. Contractor shall install products following all manufacturer’s specifications.

2. Background: The Kyle Health Center had a wet sprinkler system installed in the new addition constructed in 2019. The new fire sprinkler system shall tie into the existing system and provide coverage for the existing area of the building to meet NFPA requirements. The Wanblee Health Center has a dry system and the dry sprinkler piping is 20 years old. The dry piping needs to be removed and replaced and all sprinkler heads changed to be uniform throughout the building.
