SUBJECT: Pre-Bid RFI Responses Project: WWYK250003, - Relocate Fire Alarm Circuit, O106-O62, B3001

Reference: Memo, 03 March 2026, Pre-Bid RFIs, Relocate Fire Alarm Circuit, O106-O62, B3001

1. This office reviewed the referenced RFIs for the subject project and provided answers below. Please forward to the contractor(s) for their use in preparing proposals.

(1) Request for information. What is the expectation for hydrostatic testing requirements for this project?

a. 200 psi (or 50 psi in excess of system working pressure if above

150 psi) for 2 hours

b. Working pressure for 2 hours

c. 24-hour visual test with no sign of leakage

Government Response: The pre-test & Inspection and post-test & Inspection will both be hydrostatic tests for 2 hours at system working pressure per NFPA 13.

(2) Request for information. What are the sprinkler calculation requirements for this project since we will only be resupplying 3-4 existing sprinklers?

Government Response: The fire sprinkler scope of work is to remove sprinkler drops from the conveyor system that is to be demolished. A few relocations may be required, but that will be below the 10 sprinkler per system threshold to require calculations.

Therefore, no fire sprinkler calculations are required.

(3) Request for information. Please provide as-builts for the existing sprinkler systems involved in this project.

Government Response: There is no comprehensive as-builts exist for the fire alarm or fire sprinkler systems in building 3001.

Government Response: The contractor will have the ability to make accommodations to work after hours and on weekends with Government approval.

(5) Request for information. Will it be acceptable to shut down the aisle between columns

O/107 to O/111 during demolition of the existing sprinkler system? Forklift traffic and pedestrian traffic walking through during demolition will create a hazard.

Government Response: Aisles will be eligible for closure through the Tinker AFB outage request process and Government approval.

(6) Request for information. What days and times are fire alarm testing currently allowed within B 3001?

Government Response: Testing is allowed throughout the day. Fire Alarm testing signs will need to be placed in designated areas during testing.

Contractor shall follow the Tinker AFB Outage Request Procedure.
