1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION / SUMMARY:

The primary work of this project includes, but is not limited to, the rehabilitation of fire suppression equipment for the Sea Turtle Science and Recovery (STSR) Lab at Padre Island National Seashore (PAIS). General tasks will include: reprogramming waterflow switches, replacing or repairing failed waterflow switches, replacing failed air/water gauges, performing inspections and maintenance to issue 5-year and 3-year ITM tags, repairing backflow prevention assemblies (including disassembly, installation of rebuild kits, reassembly, and testing), updating ITM tags, correcting inspection tags, and obtaining final acceptance.

2.0 OBJECTIVES:

This project is intended to address and correct deficiencies identified during the annual fire sprinkler and backflow prevention system inspections, ensuring compliance with NFPA 25, NFPA 72, the 2024 International Fire Code, and Texas state regulations. The work will restore the fire protection systems to full operational status, enhance fire protection, meet all necessary compliance standards, and transmit associated signals to the designated local monitoring station.

3.0 BACKGROUND:

Deficiencies were identified during the annual inspection conducted on November 18, 2024, at the STSR Lab facility by Firetrol Protection Systems. A yellow tag was issued due to unresolved deficiencies, including improper signaling from the dry system waterflow switch (comes in as supervisory instead of alarm), leaking backflow devices requiring internal rebuilds (Ames Colt 400N 4" and Ames LFCOLT 500N-BF 4"), failed air/water gauges, and missing 5-year and 3-year ITM tags on both risers (wet and dry systems). The inspection report details these issues, and the contractor must notify the local fire safety representative within 72 hours of yellow tag issuance. The Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) is the National Park Service Regional Structural Fire Management Officer.

4.0 SPECIFIC WORK / TASKS:

a.0 Wet Sprinkler System Repairs: Reprogram the system waterflow switch to send an alarm signal instead of a supervisory signal. Update and verify configurations in the EST IO64 panel. Perform functional testing to confirm proper signaling and operation.

b.0 Waterflow Switch Compliance: Replace or repair the failed waterflow switch on the dry system. Address any other non-compliant waterflow switches as indicated in the inspection report. Ensure all switches meet the required state and NFPA compliance.

c.0 Air/Water Gauge Replacement: Replace failed air/water gauges in the systems. Confirm proper readings and pressure during testing post-installation.

d.0 5-Year and 3-Year ITM Tags: Perform the necessary inspections and maintenance (e.g., internal valve inspections, gauge calibration verification) to issue up-to-date 5-year and 3-year ITM tags for the sprinkler risers. Submit detailed inspection and maintenance records.

e.0 Backflow Prevention Assembly Repairs (Main RP Backflow in Riser): Shut down and isolate the affected backflow assembly. Disassemble the Ames LFCOLT 500N-BF 4” RP backflow device. Install rebuild kits for the 1st check valve and relief valve (manufacturer-approved parts only). Reassemble and test the backflow device per TCEQ Form 20700 requirements. Provide passing test results documented on TCEQ Form 20700, confirming no leaks and proper operation.

f.0 Backflow Prevention Assembly Repairs (Turtle Lab RP Backflow): Shut down and isolate the affected backflow assembly. Disassemble the Ames Colt 400N 4” RP backflow device. Install an internal rebuild kit (manufacturer-approved parts only). Reassemble and test the backflow device per TCEQ Form 20700 requirements. Provide passing test results documented on TCEQ Form 20700, confirming no leaks and proper operation.

g.0 Inspection Tag Correction: Upon completion of all repairs, re-inspect the sprinkler and backflow systems to confirm compliance, remove the yellow tag, and issue a green tag if applicable. Submit updated tag status and inspection report. Notify the local fire safety representative upon completion of repairs.

h.0 Technical Submittals: Provide shop drawings, product data, completed TCEQ Form 20700 for both backflow assemblies, updated ITM tags, revised sprinkler inspection report, and written confirmation of EST IO64 panel reprogramming and successful waterflow alarm test.

i.0 Final Acceptance: Obtain final acceptance from the National Park Service, confirming that all systems meet the required standards and are ready for operation. Provide thorough records of the commissioning process, including any adjustments or corrections made. Only manufacturer-approved replacement parts shall be used for backflow repairs. Licensed technicians must perform the work.

5.0 OPTIONAL WORK / TASKS:

a.0 None

6.0 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED EQUIPMENT / MATERIALS / OTHER:

a.0 Equipment: None.

b.0 b.0 Materials: None.

c.0 c.0 Other: Water and electric power from existing systems available for use without metering or payment of use charges. Provide connections and extensions as required. Sanitary facilities: Use existing park restroom facilities, to be kept in immaculate condition.

7.0 SPECIAL CONDITIONS / REQUIREMENTS:

a.0 Conduct of Operations: At all times the contractor shall conduct his operations in conformance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the Secretary of the Interior for the National Park Service, and applicable park rules and regulations prescribed by the Park Superintendent. https://www.nps.gov/pais/learn/management/superintendents-compendium.htm b.0 Protecting Existing Utilities: Contractor shall be responsible for locating and preventing damage to known utilities on site or indoors. If damage occurs, alert CO and COR immediately and repair at no additional expense to the Government. Notify CO and COR at least two business days in advance of proposed utility interruptions.

c.0 Interior dust protection must be provided for certain areas. Work Timing: Be aware of peak nesting and hatching seasons (April–September) to minimize disturbance to turtle conservation efforts. Lighting Restrictions: Ensure temporary lighting does not disrupt the natural night environment. Noise Control: Limit loud activities to reduce stress on turtles. Spill Prevention: Implement measures to prevent leaks of system fluids into surrounding soil or waterways. Drainage Considerations: Ensure discharged water during testing does not flow into sensitive areas.

d.0 Accident Prevention (Safety) Plan: Submit a site-specific plan complying with OSHA and project requirements, outlining phases, hazards, and methods for safety. Identify nearest medical facility and address remote areas with limited communication. Qualifications of Employees: Ensure employees are qualified per RM-58 and NPS standards for fire protection systems. Accident Reporting: Report all accidents to CO and COR immediately.

e.0 Preconstruction Conference: Attend if required by Contracting Officer. Submittals: Qualifications of employees, superintendent designation letter, quality control plan, waste management plan, schedule of values, construction schedule, accident prevention plan, list of subcontractors, product data, certificate of insurance, daily/weekly progress reports. Project Closeout: Final cleanup, closeout submittals, final inspection, punch list completion within 30 days.
