Sumas Land Port of Entry (LPOE) Fire Alarm and Fire Suppression System Design and

Modernization

Scope of Work

The objective of this system replacement scope of work is to describe all the performance criteria expected at project completion in order to design and replace the current fire alarm control panel, conductors and associated devices at the Sumas LPOE. In addition, the scope of work will include installation of a code compliant Fire suppression system. The current fire panel that serves the LPOE has reached the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced. The manufacturer of the current fire alarm panel and hardware is Simplex Grinnell (Simplex 4002). The existing dry fire suppression system is partially installed (Primary and Secondary Canopies as well as Warehouse and Cargo Canopy); however, the existing fire sprinkler cross main has leaked and has been repaired but needs to be replaced.

This scope of work for fire alarm replacement shall include the design and replacement of the fire panel with horn/strobe type of notification devices, and all other fire life safety devices which upon completion will comprise a fully operational and code compliant system. Project will consist of the replacement of complete fire alarm system to include all control panels, devices, wiring, and the addition of new conduits and/or risers where necessary to ensure a fully functional, code compliant class “A” system when complete including notification devices serving the Attic’s Walkway and the Attic Fan Room. Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) installation must conform to all applicable codes and standards. Please be advised that fire alarm notification devices may not be require under the canopy serving the officers booth/vehicles.

The incinerator building is not part of the SOW of the project, however, if the Post Indicator Valve (PIV) tamper switch located adjacent to this building is currently being monitored by the existing fire alarm system, this is included in the SOW of the project and usage of the existing pathway is strongly encouraged to be re-used. If the PIV tamper switch is not currently monitored by the existing fire alarm system and is located in the area being described, it will not be included in the current SOW of the project.

The scope of work for fire suppression sprinkler system will consist of all design and installation for a complete, code compliant fire sprinkler system throughout the entire facility which will include the replacement of the existing dry fire suppression systems cross main. Installation of fire sprinklers at the attic space shall be limited to the Fan Room which shall be provided with an isolation valve that serves this room (only). Location of this valve will be place in the main building and not in the attic space. The contractor shall be responsible to gather all necessary information which may include testing the existing suppression system. Currently, GSA does not have any recent flow and/or pressure information serving the existing fire suppression system. In order to mitigate costs GSA will consider extending the existing dry fire sprinkler system throughout the entire building.

No assumption of current systems code compliance should be made. Contractor will be responsible for complete design and installation which conforms to all current codes and standards. All electrical connections, terminations and integration to existing equipment will be the responsibility of installing contractor and all costs for associated effort will be included in cost proposal. All as-built information provided by GSA must be field verified by contractor prior to design. Due diligence site walk to confirm space configurations is required and will be the basis of design for fire alarm and suppression sprinkler systems. Appropriate time for this due diligence inspection must be built into CPM schedule.

Sumas Land Port of Entry/Fire Suppression System Replacement D/B SOW Page 3

The replacement of the fire alarm and installation of fire suppression system will be accomplished while facility is fully occupied. The D/B Team will be required to ensure minimal disruption to tenants and their mission. The DB Contractor will provide required fire protection and safety of the fully occupied space during construction to will be monitored at all times. The Contractor shall submit a fire protection plan that in accordance with PBS P-100 and R10 Fire Alarm System Installation Policy. GSA reserves the right to stop work any time tenant’s mission is adversely impacted.

1. GSA envisions a highly collaborative D/B delivery approach for this project. The expectation is that the D/B Team will work closely with all stakeholders to deliver a project that meets the expectations and needs of all stakeholders and GSA’s requirements for a fully functional, code compliant fire alarm and fire suppression systems. Further, since this is a design/build retrofit project, there are existing fire suppression materials and/or equipment installed in the building. The Design Build Contractor shall include any missing materials and/or equipment in their project costs to ensure a fully operational, code compliant, fire suppression sprinkler system.

2. All project documentation shall be submitted through the Google Drive Folder set up specifically for this project.
