NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THE BEST SCORE.

2. INITIAL SPEAKER WATTAGE LEVELS ARE INDICATED ON DRAWINGS. CONTRACTOR

MUST ALLOW FOR FIELD ADJUSTMENTS TO ESTABLISH THE BEST INTELLIGIBILITY

5. PRE-RECORDED VOICE MESSAGES MUST BE OF A LOWER FREQUENCY/ PITCH

RATHER THAN A HIGHER FREQUENCY/ PITCH TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF

REFLECTIONS IN REFLECTIVE SPACES.

6. THE NUMBER OF SPEAKERS HAS BEEN INTENTIONALLY LIMITED IN SOME AREAS DUE

TO REFLECTIVE PROPERTIES OF THE WORK SPACES. UNLIKE CARPETED OFFICE

SPACES, MORE SPEAKERS PRODUCE MORE REFLECTIONS IN REFLECTIVE SPACES.

AS SUCH, THE DESIGNER HAS TRIED TO OPTIMIZE INTELLIGIBILITY WHILE LIMITING

REFLECTIONS.

7. TARGET CIS SCORES IN WORK AREAS IS 0.80, AND 0.75 IN MECHANICAL AND CRAWL

SPACE AREAS.

8. DURING STIPA TESTING, THE INPUT SIGNAL MUST BE INJECTED INTO THE AMPLIFIER

VIA AUX AUDIO INPUT SO THAT THE RESULTING OUTPUT SIGNAL IS APPROXIMATELY

THE SAME VOLUME LEVEL AS PRE-RECORDED MESSAGES. THUS, THE VOICE

MESSAGE DBA LEVEL MUST BE MEASURED AT A PARTICULAR LOCATION AND THEN

THE STIPA INPUT ADJUSTED TO RESULT IN THE SAME SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVEL. THIS

CORRELATES THE STIPA INTELLIGIBILITY READINGS AS CLOSE AS FEASIBLE TO

ACTUAL PRE-RECORDED LEVELS.

9. INTELLIGIBILITY READINGS MUST BE TAKEN THROUGHOUT REPRESENTATIVE AREAS

AND DOCUMENTED ON DRAWINGS WITH BOTH THE AUDIBLE LEVELS AND CIS SCORES.

PROVIDES FOR AN ENHANCED SYSTEM RELIABILITY

WITH VERY LITTLE ADDED COST VS. FULL-BUILDING

THIS APPROACH ALLOWS CLASS-B SIGNALING LINE

SMALLER ZONES RATHER THAN RUNNING ONE LONG

RELIABILITY AT LOWER CONDUIT AND CIRCUIT COSTS

OF OTHERWISE ZIG-ZAGING ACROSS BUILDING.

FIRE FLOW TEST WAS PERFORMED ON 4/16/2026. NOTE THAT THE AVAILABLE WATER ONLY ALLOWS FOR A FLOW OF 520 GPM AT 20 PSI. AS SUCH, THE FIRE PUMP CANNOT BE TESTED AT RATED FLOW. SUCTION PRESSURES MUST BE MONITORED AT THE STREET TO MAINTAIN 20 PSI IN SYSTEM. WHEN PERFORMING A FIRE FLOW TEST THE TEST PRESSURE MUST BE MONITORED TO MAINTAIN ABOVE 20 PSI. THIS MAY CAUSE A CHALLENGE WITH FULL OPERATION OF THE FLOW HYDRANT TO PROPERLY SEAT DRAIN VALVE. UTILITY PROVIDER WAS PRESENT AND AWARE OF WATER SUPPLY ISSUE AS THEY HAD VALVES AND PUMPS OFF-LINE AT TIME OF TESTING. ESTIMATED TIME OF SYSTEM RETURNING TO SERVICE
