Appendix B

Homeland Security / Federal Protective Service (HS/FPS) MegaCenter Alarm Monitoring

The system shall use the HS/FPS MegaCenter for alarm monitoring. Contractor experience shalll include previous coordination with the FPS MegaCenter, and familiarity with the FPS MegaCenter Alarm Requirements (MAR) documentation. The installer will need to review and complete the MegaCenter Alarm Requirements (MAR) document and adhere to HS/FPS system requirements. This document provides specific details on the installation, testing and monitoring requirements for government facilities.

Additionally, approved alarm panels must communicate via the FPS MegaCenter’s alarm receivers using one of the following panel signaling formats (communications protocols):

ADEMCO Contact ID, Bosch / Radionics Modem II, Modem IIE and Modem IIIA, and Security Industry Association (SIA), the SIA format

Installation Guidelines

The contractor will install an RJ31X jack at the alarm control panel and will ensure it is properly wired to affect line seizure in the event of an alarm. The alarm system will have a telephone installed next to the alarm control panel and wired properly to the house side of the RJ31X jack for the secondary phone line. The purpose of this phone is to provide a means for emergency calls if the office telephones are not working. If the alarm system includes fire alarm devices (i.e. smoke detectors, heat detectors, etc.) a second dedicated telephone line will be required.

Keypads are to be located inside the protected ACO space. The contractor will ensure all devices are mounted in accordance with manufacturer’s printed recommendations, any applicable UL standards and the NBFAA standards. In the event of a conflict, follow the strictest standard.

The contractor will ensure that the appropriate monitoring service has uploaded the alarm system program and that all zones have been fully tested and communicate prior to the final test and job completion.

The contractor will perform a final walkthrough test of the system in conjunction with the monitoring service and with a government representative, to ensure system is complete and acceptable before final payment to vendor will occur.

Electrical/Wiring Requirements

The Contractor will provide the necessary electrical circuits to power the security system (i.e., 1 dedicated 120 VAC, 20-amp circuit to 1 NEMA 5-20R quad receptacle). The Contractor will be responsible for ensuring the electrical wire used meets the local electrical codes.

Revision 0 2 of 5

The alarm control panel will be installed with a minimum of two 12-volt/7-amp hour batteries for 24 hour stand-by power at a load of 140 mA to power the system in the event of an electrical power failure. All motion detectors and glass break detectors should be powered by a separate power supply, with one or two 12 volt/7amp hour batteries, for 24-hour stand-by operation.

The alarm system will have Ditek MRJ31XSCP-RUV or latest model surge protector, installed ahead of the control panel transformer, whether the alarm control panel is 120 VAC hardwired OR uses an industry standard 16.5VAC/40VA plug in transformer, and in addition to the standard RJ31X jack referenced above. The transformer, if a hardwired model, must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). If the transformer is an industry standard 16.5VAC/40VA plug in transformer, it must be securely fastened and covered with a transformer cover to prevent it from falling out of the surge protected outlet or surge protected power strip.

All wires will be homerun to the alarm control panel. There will be no splices, T-Taps, etc.

except at the panel. The wires will leave the device location and return to the control panel with no stops or breaks along the way. Once at the head end location, all devices, wires, etc. must be concealed. It will be necessary to have zone expansion modules or relay modules that will need to be placed into these spare enclosures that provide a safe haven for these devices and associated wiring. All cabinets will have tamper switches installed and all devices inside of these spare enclosures shall have their tamper switches activated if they are so equipped with cover tamper-proof switches.

The Contractor shall conceal all wire outside the panel enclosures by placing the wire in the walls, ceilings, doorframes, or in EMT (conduit) to ensure tamper resistance. Every attempt to fish wires in walls will be attempted before using EMT.

The Contractor shall securely fasten all security system wiring above drop ceiling systems to the ceiling / roof supports or other structures that would provide adequate support, so as to prevent damage that may occur from existing or future wire runs or work performed above the ceiling tile. No wiring should be run directly on top of the ceiling tiles.

There will be no mechanical pulling of wires – no exception. The use of mechanical pulling devices has been found to damage the low voltage cable and wiring.

Wall space where the equipment is located must be neat and orderly, using high quality plywood, or better on which to hang panels, power supplies, etc. All wires must be clearly tagged and a legend for such wiring left in the panel board and depicted on the As-built drawings. The contractor shall periodically label all exposed wire runs every ten (10) feet to indicate the type of wire: alarm, access, or CCTV (if required).

All BOCA, NEC, NEMA, NFPA, NBFAA, SIA and UL standards, listings, codes, etc. must be followed, in addition to all state, local, or Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements. If a conflict occurs, the most stringent requirement shall prevail. The applicable codes are Underwriters Lab, (UL); and

Revision 0 3 of 5 any other industry recognized governing body.

The Contractor must make arrangements with an electrician (if alarm installation company is not so licensed) to hardwire the necessary 110-volt AC power for the alarm systems AND any necessary outlets (CCTV monitors for example, if required). All regular voltage electrical work shall be performed by a qualified journeyman electrician, with a minimum of five (5) years of general electrical experience.

Control Panel

The alarm control panel will be an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed for Commercial Burglary, or Fire/Burglary combination. A keypad shall be installed on the alarm control panel for diagnostic purposes.

The Contractor shall provide a controlled access enclosure containing the control panel, digital cellular module and power supplies.

Each control panel, spare enclosure, etc. shall have a tamper switch installed, which annunciates locally and communicates the opening of the panel door to the monitoring service.

All installations and upgrades of alarm system transmitters must meet national standards through use of control panels that are remote access programmable and are fully compatible with one of the two following manufacturer’s digital alarm receivers:

Radionics - Model Number: D-6600 Sur-Gard - Model Number: MLR2000

The alarm control panel recommended for this installation is the Honeywell VISTA-128BP Commercial Burglary Security Panel (or equivalent).

Key Pads

The keypads installed will annunciate locally along with a display in plain English, a text description of the location where the alarm is being generated (i.e. Zone 20, Mary’s Panic or Zone 32 Rear Door).

Keypads will be installed on the alarm control panel, and at various entrance doors, as designated by contracting officer. The keypads should be alphanumeric. The proposed device is the Honeywell 6160V (or equivalent). NOTE: IF THE SYSTEM IS CONSIDERED TO BE A FIRE ALARM

SYSTEM, A RED FIRE ANNUNCIATOR KEYPAD WILL BE INSTALLED AT THE MAIN ENTRY

POINT AND THE SYSTEM MUST MEET ALL APPLICABLE FIRE CODES AND UL

REQUIREMENTS.

Detection Sensors

The system will consist of recessed magnetic contacts on each perimeter door and the server room door. The perimeter is considered any door or window leading to the outside of the agency’s space, not necessarily the “outside” world.

Revision 0 4 of 5

Each window 18’ and below, and other accessible windows above 18’, must be protected by a dual technology glass break detector. The glass break detector must be of a style that detects a shock and listens for the frequency of breaking glass but only goes into alarm when both conditions exist at the same time. The intent of the design is to allow interior motion sensors to be disarmed when needed and still maintain perimeter intrusion detection capability.

There shall be motion detectors installed in the ceiling, in the event an individual trys to gain access to the agency space via the ceiling. These motion detectors shall be passive infrared (PIR) technology. These devices must be adjusted properly for the application and must be installed in a manner that prevents false alarms. (i.e., do not install with devices looking at glass, or underneath of air vents, and holes in device’s case must be sealed, etc.)

Do not install the devices facing windows or glass doors, or below air vents, or near fax machines, printers, copiers and holes in the device’s case must be sealed, etc.) Glass break detector sensitivity must be flexible to tolerate all environmental conditions, (i.e., wind, temperature, or other type of hostile environment).

For detection equipment, Contractor shall use UL Listed products designed for the purpose and installed in a way that UL would issue a UL certification if requested. The motion detectors shall be passive infrared technology. The glass break detectors must be dual technology allowing for shock and audio together creating an alarm condition. The door contacts must be recessed, except where it is not possible due to concrete filled doorframes and such. In all cases, all wiring for all devices shall NOT be exposed for any reason (even on surface door contacts) – use surface contacts that have an armored shield surrounding the wire.

Training The Contractor shall insure the IDS installer provides security system user training by a qualified instructor to Government staff, following acceptance. The training will cover all information necessary for the use of the IDS, including a hands-on demonstration. In addition, IDS documentation will be provided, including operating manuals for the systems. After the Intrusion Detection System has been fully tested and accepted by the Government, the Contractor shall provide training on the IDS. The training for the Intrusion Detection System shall be sufficient to enable all attendees to have a good general understanding of the components, arming and disarming the system, cover the operations manual, and how to reset the system.
