1.1 PROJECT INFORMATION

A. Project Identification: Red Rock Ranger Station (RRRS) Fire Sprinkler System Repairs

1. Project Location: The project is located at the Red Rock Ranger Station, 8375 SR 179, Sedona, AZ 86341, on the Red Rock Ranger District. Coordinates for the compound are latitude: 34.75707, longitude: -111.76371.

a. Owner: USDA Forest Service, Coconino National Forest.

b. Background Information: The Red Rock Ranger Station complex was built in 2007. The building has a wet/dry sprinkler system. Big Park Water Company serves the majority of the Village of Oak Creek (VOC). RRRS is the last receiving customer south of the VOC.

Figure 1: Administrative Building Front B. Work consists of an assessment and potential repair or replacement of the existing sprinkler system in the administrative building and the fire supply line.

1. Base Bid: This shall consist of an assessment of the existing sprinkler system in the administrative building and the fire supply line.

2. Option 1: This item shall be based on the assessment performed in the Base Bid. It consists of repairs to the existing sprinkler system. Demolition and incidental repair work are applicable.

3. Alternative 1: This item shall be based on the assessment performed in the Base Bid. If the existing sprinkler system requires more than 50% of materials, piping, valves, etc. to be repaired, Alternative 1 may be selected. Work will consist of partial or total sprinkler system replacement. Demolition and incidental repair work are applicable.

4. Option 2: This item shall be based on the assessment performed in the Base Bid. It consists of repairs or replacement to the existing building fire supply line. Demolition and incidental repair work are applicable.

All work shall be completed in accordance with project specifications, construction drawings, manufacturer’s instructions, and the latest editions of the following codes: International Building Code (IBC), NFPA requirements and other applicable local, state, and national codes as they apply to HVAC, mechanical, electrical, fuel, and general construction. All contractor operations shall be OSHA compliant. Work includes all labor, material, supervision, equipment and testing necessary to perform all the operations for the work specified herein and as stated in the construction drawings.

C. Owner-Furnished Products: There are no Government furnished materials or products available for this project.

D. Coordination: Contractor shall schedule work in a way that minimally impacts the employees and their day-to-day assignments. Additional coordination is required with the alarm system company and may be required with Sedona Fire Department. Sedona FD and the alarm company shall be notified of work and out-of-service components. The construction time period shall be no more than 60 days.

1.2 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

A. System Diagnosis/Assessment

1. Contractor will diagnose the existing fire sprinkler system and determine which components need to be repaired or replaced to bring the system into full compliance and proper operating condition in conjunction with the fire alarm system. The evaluation shall include a water hammer analysis. This may require the municipal water system to be evaluated for source and magnitude of potential water hammers, i.e. pumps, valves, hydrants. The evaluation will include a report, construction and permitting requirements, and drawings, if needed, on existing deficiencies and recommendations for mitigating the water hammer and on repairing and/or replacing the system and its components. All existing tamper, pressure, and flow switches shall function correctly with the alarm system whether they are replaced.

2. Fire sprinkler specifications, potential system layout, operation/maintenance manuals and warranty information shall be provided to Contracting Officer (CO). The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will review this information to confirm the systems meet the requirements and specifications prior to award of optional items.

B. Installation of Recommendations

1. Work may include the demolition of the existing sheet rock and defective fire sprinkler piping and other bad components in the fire sprinkler system.

2. The work may require a scissor lift for sprinkler head access, installation of a new access panel(s) in the ceiling, installation of new fire sprinkler piping, new sprinkler heads, new pressure gauges, new alarms, new valves, new couplings, new system ball drip, any new auxiliary drains, resetting valves, installation of a pressure relief valve, and placing the system back in service. All existing tamper, pressure, and flow switches shall function correctly with the alarm system whether they are replaced.

3. Additional work may include repairing or replacing the existing fire supply line, if necessary, to mitigate the water hammer and/or other documented issues.

4. This may require drywall patching and repair depending on the locations. This may include ceiling tile or panel work.

5. Warranty: The minimum warranty for all work shall be according to industry standard.

a. First year parts and labor at no charge.

C. All work shall be completed in accordance with the following Project specifications and drawings. The work includes all labor, material, and equipment necessary to perform all operations for the work specified.

1.9 INSPECTION OF WORKSITE

C. Bidders are encouraged to visit the site, compare the specifications with any work in place, and inform themselves of all conditions, including other work, if any, being performed. Failure to visit site will in no way relieve the successful bidder from the necessity of furnishing any materials or performing any work that may be required to complete work in accordance with specifications, without additional cost to the Government.

D. Information regarding the site of the work provided in specifications is believed to be reasonably correct, but the Government does not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of such information, and it is the responsibility of the Contractor to verify all information independently and to make other examinations of the conditions to be encountered during construction.

E. Contractor acknowledges they have investigated and satisfied themselves as to the conditions affecting the work, including, but not restricted to, those bearing upon transportation, disposal, handling and storage of materials; availability of labor, water, electric power, roads, and conditions of the ground; and the character of equipment and facilities needed prior to and during execution of the work. Contractor further acknowledges that they are satisfied as to the character, quality, and quantity of surface and subsurface materials or obstacles to be encountered insofar as this information is reasonably ascertainable from an inspection of the site. Any failure by Contractor to acquaint themselves with the available information will not relieve them from the responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work.
