D. Fire Alarm System - The existing fire alarm system has been designed and installed to meet the requirements of NFPA, as well as unique FAA requirements and guidance documents. Modifications to the system for this project will conform to the same guidelines.

a. Fire Alarm Control Unit (FACU) - The existing fire alarm system is an addressable Simplex 4100U installed in 2008.

i. Two (2) fire alarm annunciators are provided and located as follows:

1. Cab

2. Administration Area in the Base Building (not to be replaced)

b. Notification Appliances - Occupant notification appliances consist of horns, strobes, and combination horn/strobe notification appliances.

i. Audible notification appliances are not to be located within the Cab spaces.

ii. Visual signals within the Cab consists of a strobe (to be replaced with a flashing incandescent light with a red lens).

c. Initiating Devices - Initiating devices include manual pull stations, smoke detectors, and heat detectors.

i. In accordance with FAA Design Guidance documents, smoke detection is provided throughout the buildings.

ii. Duct-mounted smoke detectors are provided in the air handler units where required by the IBC or NFPA 90A.

d. Emergency Control Function Interfaces – Critical emergency control functions are accomplished through the fire alarm system as follows:

i. Elevator Recall per ASME A17.1

ii. HVAC Air Handler Shut-Down per NFPA 90A

iii. Door Hold-Open Release per NFPA 101

iv. Stair Pressurization Control and Limited Supervision per NFPA 92

e. Fire Alarm Circuits - All fire alarm signaling line and notification appliance circuits are routed and wired as Class A in accordance with NFPA 72.

f. Central Station Alarm Monitoring Service – Alarm, trouble and supervisory signals are monitored through a digital alarm communicator transmitter (DACT) which transmits signals to a central station service via dual (loop start) telephone lines (a DACT with a cellular device will be added). No runner service is provided.

g. Electrical Power Supply - The fire alarm system is supplied with primary 120-volt power with integral battery power.

E. Fire Suppression – Fire suppression and extinguishing is accomplished as follows:

a. Manual Hand-Held Extinguishers

2. Statement of Work

The contractor shall be responsible to conduct all verification necessary to confirm design details, site conditions and submittals / installations represent code compliant configurations. Furthermore, the contractor must adhere to all FAA requirements to assure the health and safety of the Agency employees and the critical National Air Space operations, including all prevention mandates and requirements related to the pandemic.

2.1. Fire Alarm System Scope of Work

Equipment, materials, installation, workmanship, inspection and testing provided to accomplish this fire alarm scope of work shall be in strict accordance with the required and advisory provisions of NFPA 72, NFPA 90A and NFPA 70, except as modified in these design documents.

The fire alarm system Scope of Work results in a new fully functioning fire alarm system accomplished by proving and installing a new fire alarm system to migrate from the existing fire alarm control unit to a new control unit in the existing cabinet. The fire alarm system replacement will be a side-by-side installation so reusing existing conduit and conductors will be minimal if any. The existing fire alarm system control unit and power supply will be replaced with equipment that is permitted by the FAA based on the fire alarm system specification. The new fire alarm control unit is to be shop configured and loaded with the program required for the FPR ATCT, such that it is readily installed at the time of migration and the fire alarm system outage during installation is minimized.

3. Schedule & Phasing Plan

A. The project schedule presented herein has been developed considering the following:

a. Federal Holidays

b. FAA and FPR Work Moratoriums

c. Conservative Progress to Limit Risk to National Air Space (NAS)

Operations

B. The Project Phases and associated schedule are presented as follows:

a. Notice to Proceed

b. Phase 1 – Submittals & Mobilization (77-days)

c. Phase 2 – Fire Alarm Site Effort (60-days)

d. Phase 3 – Construction Documents, Testing, and Close-Out (55-days)

C. The project Schedule contained herein establishes a conservative, linear approach to execution of the project, thus depicting single work areas without including primary concurrent work efforts in multiple areas or levels.

D. The contractor may propose a different written work plan and schedule with concurrent activities in multiple areas with written Operational Risk Management (ORM) initiatives, which are approved by and fully coordinated with the Resident Engineer.

E. While contractor activities in any part of the facility which are improperly executed, accomplished, or coordinated can impact critical NAS operations, the project Phasing Plan requires the contractor to:

a. Establish and implement risk management measures

b. Initiate construction in less sensitive areas

c. Progress to more operationally sensitive areas once procedures and risk management measure have been proven through performance

d. Provide the contractor schedule and phasing plan to:

i. Limit work activities in or impacting Control Areas (Cab), NAS Electronics Equipment Areas to third shift times between 9 PM and

6 AM.

ii. Coordinate access to those areas identified above, office spaces, and other normally occupied areas 5 business days in advance of the required access.

iii. Ensure all fire alarm system and other facility features impacted by the work are restored to operational condition at the end of each workday and while system is in test mode.

iv. Ensure the fire alarm system is never out of service for more than 24 hours.

4. Impairment Plan

4.1. Introduction

The Treasure Coast International Airport (FPR) Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT), Base Building, and Engine Generator Building are served by an existing Simplex 4100U fire alarm and detection system.

This project removes and replaces the fire alarm system and results in a new fully functioning fire alarm system accomplished by proving and installing a new fire alarm system.

As this is a side-by-side replacement the reuse of existing conduit and conductors will be minimal. The new fire alarm control unit is to be shop configured and loaded with the program required for the FPR ATCT, such that it is readily installed at the time of migration and the fire alarm system outage during installation is minimized.

The fire alarm replacement includes development of new programming for the fire alarm to recall the elevator, control the stair pressurization system, close fire and smoke doors, shut down HVAC fan units, and perform and monitor other critical life safety functions.

This project also includes firestopping of through-penetrations, patching, painting and repair resulting from the fire alarm system work and installation.

This design requires the contractor’s implementation to avoid or limit any planned outages to the absolute minimum, prevent unplanned outages, and provide mitigations to address either. As part of the risk management efforts these mitigation plans have been developed to streamline mitigation implementation, in the case of temporary service outages involving the fire protection and life safety features and systems serving the FPR facility such as temporary service losses of systems or portions thereof, including:

• Fire alarm

• Stair pressurization systems

• Fire and smoke barriers throughout

• Means of egress

All fire protection and life safety systems are expected to remain operational throughout the effort. Any impact the effort has on these or other systems and features, such as temporary loss of stair pressurization control, fire alarm outage, or temporary obstruction of egress components, shall be communicated with the Resident Engineer (RE) for appropriate action as described herein.

Design Handbook DH - 26

4.2. Applicable Laws, Codes and Standards

This impairment plan is designed to meet the requirements of the following:

• The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Master Fire Alarm Specification.

• Treasure Coast International Airport (FPR) Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) Fire

Alarm System Replacement scope document and Contract documents

• NFPA 70 – 2020, National Electrical Code

• NFPA 72 – 2019, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code

• NFPA 90A – 2018, Standard for the Installation of Air-Conditioning and Ventilating

Systems

• NFPA 101 – 2021 Life Safety Code

4.3. Scope of Impairments

The existing fire alarm system will generally be partially impaired (limited to interfaced devices and systems that the fire alarm system is monitoring and / or controlling) due to this project’s ‘remove and replace’ scope as detailed in the project statement of work.

Specifically, the new fire alarm system is to be installed side-by-side with the existing system remaining fully functional until inspection, testing and commissioning of the new system is.

Except for short durations for the cut over of devices, all detection and integrated systems (e.g., elevator recall and stair pressurization, etc.) are to remain operational.

The fire alarm system as a whole will remain active throughout the upgrades and will not be removed from service for any time exceeding 8-hours (based upon a written contractor installation plan) during the project.

During the period in which both the existing and new fire alarm systems provide service to the buildings concurrently, the systems shall be interfaced through control modules or a relay matrix to result in full operation of the system.

During the installation of the equipment, components, and materials involved in these upgrades, ATCT operations will remain continuous, and the floors will remain furnished and occupied.

During any impairments, if the RE after consulting with the ATCT Manager determines that occupant safety is at risk, the RE can utilize the Interim Measures documents provided as Attachments 4B and 4C to this Impairment Plan.

4.4. Goals and Objectives

The goal of this impairment plan is for the building to remain operational and occupied during the Fire Alarm Upgrade project. In order to meet the goals, there are four objectives that need to be met. They are:

Design Handbook DH - 27

• Maintain fire department notification of a fire during impairments.

• Maintain occupant notification of a fire during impairments.

• Maintain fire detection.

• Maintain life safety system controls.

Each of the objectives is discussed in detail below.

A. Maintaining Fire Department Notification

During impairments, an objective is to maintain fire department communications. The existing fire alarm control unit (FACU) transmits signals off-site to get appropriate information to Fire and Rescue stations.

During installation of new fire alarm system components and devices, an objective is to notify the fire department of the impairments and notify the off-site monitoring location that the fire alarm system will be taken offline.

Prior to work, the fire department will be included in the distribution of impairment notifications called and notified of the systems that will be impaired and when they will be impaired.

During the time when the fire alarm system is impaired and the off-site monitoring location will not automatically receive signals, human action is required. While the equipment is being installed, project personnel will be stationed at the FACU to monitor any and all alarm conditions that may occur. If an actual fire condition occurs while the system is offline, the project personnel monitoring the FACU will immediately inform the FAA Point of Contact via cell phone or radio. The FAA Point of Contact will then notify all tower occupants, the fire department, and the monitoring station of the fire condition.

B. Maintain Occupant Notification

An occupant fire alarm notification plan must be maintained at all times. The fire alarm contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer and the assigned on-site representative (Resident Engineer – RE) when any system impairment is to occur. It is noted that any impairments of the fire alarm system must be isolated to a limited number of interface devices, based upon the installation plan. As a result, fire detection related alarm events in other portions of the facility, or other alarm events of any nature will result in notification of occupant throughout the facility, whether it is served by the existing system or the new system. It is the responsibility of the fire alarm contractor, the CO and the RE to post, for all occupants to read, the date and time of when the fire alarm devices and appliances are to be taken offline, should such an event occur.

C. Maintain Fire Detection

In the ATCT, fire detection will be provided on all floors other than the area undergoing fire alarm modifications. In instances where construction poses a risk of nuisance alarms due to dust and debris, the existing smoke detectors, on the floor of construction

Design Handbook DH - 28 only, shall be protected by protective dust covers. At no time shall the manual existing fire alarm boxes be disabled or blocked, during construction. All integrated systems (e.g., elevator recall, stair pressurization, and door closure) will be maintained during construction (see Maintain Emergency Control Functions below).

During fire alarm system installation multiple floors are not permitted to be impaired simultaneously. Impairments of fire protection systems shall be avoided, documented, approved, and managed in accordance with this Plan.

D. Maintain Emergency Control Functions

Fire protection emergency control functions, such as HVAC shutdown, elevator recall, stair pressurization control, door closure, etc. will require intermittent planned outages to accommodate the transfer of control between the existing and new fire alarm systems.

Such outages must be specifically planned, scheduled and mitigated in writing with the RE. All planned and mitigated emergency control function impairments must be less than 8-hours in duration and the contractor will be responsible for collaborating with the FAA to implement necessary mitigations. Additionally, the contractor shall restore all outages prior to the close of each workday.

Impairments of fire protection systems shall be avoided, documented, approved, and managed in accordance with this Plan.

E. Impairment

During the remediation and improvement work, there should not be any interruption in fire detection and notification to the floors not under construction (except for the short periods to make final connections to new or relocated equipment). However, if there is an interruption (due to construction work that will create a great deal of dust and debris), the following steps shall be taken to minimize the amount of time that the fire alarm system is impaired, as follows:

1. The existing smoke detectors in areas where construction activities may create dust, shall be covered with protective dust covers, thus minimizing the response of the smoke detector to dust and debris.

2. At no time shall more than one floor of detectors be covered.

3. Under no circumstances shall protective dust covers remain on the existing smoke detectors overnight.

4. Under no circumstances shall the existing manual fire alarm boxes be disabled or blocked during construction.

5. The ATCT staff shall have instructions that if a fire is reported during an interruption (impairment) in the fire detection and notification, they shall immediately call 911 for emergency assistance. At no time shall a staff

Design Handbook DH - 29 member treat an alarm signal as a false alarm unless the system is being tested. If necessary, a Fire Watch will be invoked.

6. The fire alarm system shall not be generally impaired on the same floor that other construction work is taking place during these upgrades.

During the project the fire alarm system or its interfaces to other equipment shall not be permitted to be impaired without specific approved interim measures. The Contractor shall work efficiently as possible to avoid leaving any areas unprotected for an extended period. All impairments must be reviewed by the RE prior to the impairment and any interim measures required must be determined based on the extent and duration of the impairment. If at any point any one of the following occurs the contractor shall be responsible for providing a fire watch:

1. A full fire alarm system (any level or portion thereof, which is a system) is out of service for more than 8 hours in a 24-hour period, or

2. More than a full floor (any level or portion thereof) is out of service.

In accordance with NFPA 72 (including the Annex), a fire watch should consist of trained personnel who continuously patrol the affected area. The fire watch should have ready access to fire extinguishers and the ability to promptly notify the fire department.

During the patrol of the area, the person should not only be looking for fire, but making sure that the other fire protection features of the building such as egress routes and available fire protection systems and features are available and functioning properly.

There should not be any interruption in the existing fire alarm services, except for planned down time to complete the remediations and modifications. However, if there is an interruption due to unforeseen circumstances the impairment must be reviewed with the RE to determine required interim measures.

4.5. Required Personnel

The Contractor shall designate one person to communicate to the CO, the RE, and the fire department on the progress of the fire alarm system replacement, the fire alarm component installation, and any planned impairments, minimally, on a week-to-week basis.

The occupants of the ATCT must be familiarized with the project to the extent that they know which floors of the building are under construction. The ATCT staff shall have instructions that if a fire is reported they shall immediately call 911 for emergency assistance. At no time shall a staff member treat an alarm signal as a false alarm unless the system is being tested and they have been so notified.

Design Handbook DH - 30

4.6. Requirements of Contractors

The Contractor chosen for the installation of the fire alarm system and other fire protection features is required to read and understand this plan. The Contractor is also responsible for familiarizing themselves with the layout of the building and the steps necessary for compliance with the plan. If a portion or portions of the plan cannot be complied with, the CO and the RE shall be notified immediately before any work is started. The Contractor will have the following responsibilities:

A. Appropriately plan the construction phasing and have enough people and materials on site to accomplish the system remediation efforts so that any full system impairments do not take more than one day at a time. The fire alarm system shall be operational except for the floor levels on which the work is being actively being conducted and devices replaced or installed.

B. The impairments shall be planned. Notification shall be issued to the CO, RE, and the fire department at least two weeks prior to the impairments.

C. If the existing full fire alarm system has to be impaired over night or be impaired during a fire alarm system impairment, the contractor shall notify the CO, RE, and the fire department and ensure a plan is in place to notify the fire department in the event of a fire during the impairments. In order to achieve occupant and fire department notification in these instances, a fire watch shall be required, as stated above.

4.7. Impairment Mitigations

In response to the reduction in fire protection caused by any interruption in fire alarm service to the buildings or floors under construction, or interruption of emergency control functions to any portion of the FPR complex, if any, the following necessary precautions shall be followed:

A. Notify the CO and the RE at least two (2) weeks prior to the impairments.

B. At least one representative from the ATCT should be on site during the impairments.

C. Prior to the impairment of the full fire alarm system and / or portions of the fire alarm system circuits, the contractor shall have assembled the necessary people and materials to accomplish the job in one day - nonstop. Any preparation required for the disconnections and reconnections shall have been performed ahead of time.

D. Clear and lighted access to all areas of the building shall be maintained during the upgrades and the planned impairments.

Design Handbook DH - 31

E. All doors to the stairwells shall remain closed at all times during the installations and planned impairment.

F. No smoking will be allowed in the building.

G. Few combustible materials from the installations are anticipated in the building.

Combustible materials from the installations will not be allowed to accumulate.

H. An inspection of the building for compliance with this impairment plan will be performed prior to taking any fire protection system off-line.
