About this file
This file is a Questions and Answers document addressing technical specifications for the PIMC Fire Alarm Replacement Services solicitation. The document provides clarification on the facility's existing infrastructure relevant to the fire alarm system replacement project at Phoenix Indian Medical Center.
Key technical clarifications include: the site uses only water-based fire suppression with standard and quick response sprinkler heads, with no pre-action or clean agent systems present. The facility operates on multi-mode fiber for inter-building communications and CAT-6 copper for horizontal cabling, with a single-mode fiber handoff from the local exchange carrier (LEC) for PIMC circuits; however, uncertainty exists regarding whether the LEC handoff is fiber or copper, with respondents cautioned that carriers in Phoenix typically provide copper handoffs. The facility does not have a smoke control system. This technical information is essential for contractors responding to the solicitation to ensure the NOTIFIER INSPIRE N16x Fire Alarm Control Panel replacement and ONYXWorks GUI system will be properly integrated with existing building infrastructure and communications systems.

Text version
· Does the site have a pre-action fire suppression system or a clean agent system?
· No. All fire suppression is water based. We have a combination of standard and quick response sprinkler heads in the building(s).
· Does the site currently use fiber or copper communications?
· I believe its fiber but copied Mark Downing on the email
· If fiber is installed, is it single-mode or multi-mode?
· Question for Mark Downing.
· Does the main building have a smoke control system?
· PIMC does not have a smoke control system.
Mark’s response We use fiber between buildings and I recall having a rather large debate back in “the day” about whether it should be multi-mode or single-mode and I seem to remember we decided on Multi-mode (Darrin is that correct? Cory would know too). Our horizontal cabling is copper… CAT-6 I believe. Single Mode Fiber & CAT6 Copper; fiber hand-off from the LEC for PIMC circuits.
If you are talking about our handoff from the LEC, I am 99.9% sure that we receive a copper handoff but again I would want to defer to someone closer to the service. I cannot imagine a world where a carrier in Phoenix would give us copper.
