About this file

This document is a set of architectural and electrical drawings and specifications for a fire alarm system upgrade project for the Brighton Area Schools BECC Building in Brighton, Michigan. The project involves the design, installation, and integration of a new addressable fire alarm and emergency voice/alarm communication system, including manual fire alarm boxes, smoke detectors, notification appliances, and related components.

The document provides detailed requirements for the fire alarm system, including system operation, product specifications, installation guidelines, testing, and commissioning. It also includes general construction requirements, such as demolition, cutting and patching, and electrical identification. The successful contractor will need to hire a NICET Level 3 certified fire alarm designer to develop the final system design based on the drawings and specifications provided.
