PART 1 – GENERAL

1.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS

Drawings, terms and conditions of this contract, including the general requirements and other division specification sections, apply to this section.

1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project consists of replacement of the Grinell Autocall building fire alarm systems in various buildings on campus to fully addressable fire alarm systems with integral mass notification. Mass notification and fire reporting will be via existing transceivers or installation of government furnished transceivers which will report to the central Mass Notification and reporting system located in each of the two Emergency Operations Centers (EOC). The central Mass notification system is a vision 21system from Signal Communications, Woburn Ma.

B. The work includes the following activities:

1. Replacement of the existing Grinell Autocall hardwired building Fire Alarm (FA) systems with fully addressable Notifier 640 or 3030 fire alarm systems integrated with a Mass Notification System (MNS). Fire alarm system interfaces to existing systems such as mechanical, fire protection, elevators and other systems.

2. Finial design and installation of complete building Mass Notification System integrated with intelligent analog/addressable fire alarm systems for all buildings listed on the system schedule. Integrated building fire alarm and mass notification shall report to the campus wide mass notification command and control System located in the emergency operations centers. The existing mass notification and command control system is a Signal Communications Vision 21. Notification is by common speakers and strobes providing voice (prerecorded or live) messages, visual strobes and text message signs to operational requirements of UFC 4-021-01 Mass Notification Systems for integrated navy systems and as modified herein.

3. Reprogramming of two Signal Communications Vision 21 mass notification and command control system with location and alarm type of every addressable device and building mass notification operation and control. Revise programming and graphical interfaces to show the replacement system layout.

1. Cut existing construction to provide for installation of other components or performance of other construction activities and the subsequent fitting and patching required to restore surfaces to their original condition.

B. Cutting: Cut existing construction using methods least likely to damage elements retained or adjoining construction. Where possible, review proposed procedures with the original installer; comply with the original installers recommendations.

1. In general, where cutting, use hand or small power tools designed for sawing or grinding, not hammering and chopping. Cut holes and slots as small as possible, neatly to size required, and with minimum disturbance of adjacent surfaces. Temporarily cover openings when not in use.

2. To avoid marring existing finished surfaces, cut or drill from the exposed or finished side into concealed surfaces.

3. Cut through concrete and masonry using a cutting machine, such as a Carborundum saw or a diamond-core drill.

4. Comply with requirements of applicable sections where cutting and patching requires excavating and backfilling.

5. Where services are required to be removed, relocated, or abandoned, bypass utility services, such as pipe or conduit, before cutting. Cut off pipe or conduit in walls or partitions to be removed. Cap, valve, or plug and seal the remaining portion of pipe or conduit to prevent entrance of moisture or other foreign matter after bypassing and cutting.

C. Patching: Patch with durable seams that are as invisible as possible. Comply with specified tolerances.

1. Sand, spackle, and treat minor defects to render them smooth.Where feasible, inspect and test patched areas to demonstrate integrity of the installation.

Remove existing floor and wall coverings and replace with new materials, if necessary, to achieve uniform color and appearance.

a. Where patching occurs in a smooth painted surface, extend final paint coat over entire unbroken surface containing the patch after the area has received primer and second coat.

4. Patch, repair, or re-hang existing ceilings as necessary to provide an even plane surface of uniform appearance.

3.4 CLEANING

A. Clean areas and spaces where cutting and patching are performed. Completely remove paint, mortar, oils, putty, and similar items. Thoroughly clean piping, conduit, and similar features before applying paint or other finishing materials.

Restore damaged pipe covering to its original condition.

Title blocks include fields with attributes. Double clicking an attribute entry in field will allow editing of that field. Cover sheet may be modified to add contractor logos and seals.

4. General text shall be set to plot at a 0.125 inch text height when plotted at contract document intended scale.

5. All text should use the standard AutoCAD provided fonts, preferably ROMANS.

6. Line-weights shall be stored in the entity or layer definition (line, point, arc etc.)

and not require the use of external files to achieve desired results. (Example AutoCAD drawings cannot use PLT or Plot style references on delivered sheet CAD files.)

7. Layer names should follow the AIA naming convention, see i.e., http://www.caddee.com/layerlist.html and as follows:

Layer Name Formatting

As recommended by the 1997 AIA CAD Layer Guidelines, layer names may be as short as six characters (discipline code + major group) or as long as sixteen characters (discipline code + major group + minor group + status). Here are the four examples of acceptable formula variations, with explanations of formula variables found below:

# 1 A-WALL = discipline code + major group

# 2 A-WALL-FULL = discipline code + major group + minor group

# 3 A-WALL-DEMO = discipline code + major group + status code

# 4 A-WALL-FULL-DEMO = discipline code + major group + minor group + status

Discipline Code:

The discipline code is a two-character field with the second character either a hyphen or a user-defined modifier. The predefined discipline codes are the same for both layer names and file names. For a complete list of discipline codes, see Naming Construction Drawings under File Name Conventions. Major Group: The major group designation is a four-character field that identifies the building system, such as doors, walls, windows, etc. Although most major groups are logically associated with specific discipline codes, it is possible to combine major group codes with any of the discipline codes. For example, AWALL or I-WALL.

Minor Group: This is an optional, four-character field for further differentiation of

SUBMITTALS 01 33 00 − 4/10

major groups. For example, partial height walls (A-WALL-PART) might be differentiated from full height walls (A-WALL-FULL). The following common modifiers defined by the AIA can also be used in the minor group field: IDEN identification tags example: A-DOOR-IDEN PATT cross hatching, poche example: A-WALL-PATT If necessary, the minor group field may also be defined by the user, allowing additional layers to be added to accommodate special project requirements. However, this should only be done after checking the Master Layer List in the 1997 AIA CAD Layer Guidelines to see if any of the predefined layer names in that list would meet the special project requirements.

Status Field: The status field is an optional four-character designator that differentiates new construction from remodeling and existing to remain. It is only needed when phases of work must be differentiated, and can be used in place of or in addition to a minor group designation, such as A-WALL-NEWW or AWALLFULL- NEWW. In either case, the status field is always the last four-characters of the layer name. Defined values for this field as defined by the AIA are as follows: NEWW new work

EXST existing to remain DEMO existing to demolish FUTR future work TEMP temporary work MOVE items to be moved RELO relocated items NICN not in contract PHS1-9 phase numbers (1-9)

8. All sheets, details and viewports should include a graphic scale.

9. All external references should be bound to drawing before delivering to U.S.

Coast Guard Academy.

10. All attached image files are to be provided with the AutoCAD drawings and named systematically; i.e., if the drawing number is CC-0102 and 2 images are used on sheet 12 of the drawing set, the image files would be named CC-0102-12- 1.jpg and CC-0102-12- 2.jpg

11. Avoid using Layer “0”, except in the creation of blocks, and “Defpoints’, which iscreated automatically with dimensions.

12. There is to be one drawing for each sheet of the drawing set.

13. On final submittal and as-built versions, PDF files are to also be provided for each sheet of the drawing set.
