About this file
This document is a design revision for an installation of fire alarm equipment at multiple buildings on Naval Station Norfolk and Craney Island in Norfolk, Virginia. The key details are:
The design revision modifies drawings and specifications for installing a new radio-based fire alarm reporting system, including a central station in Building N-26 and radio transmitters at various buildings. The work includes demolishing existing fire alarm equipment and connections, and installing new radio transmitters and antennas compatible with the central station. The project scope is to upgrade the existing 100-mil fire reporting loop to a radio-based system. The revised drawings and specifications are provided, along with a list of the impacted buildings. The solicitation is limited to 8(a) MACC contractors primarily in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area that hold contracts with NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic.

VIRGINIA, BUILDING RADIO TRANSMITTERS, AS SHOWN ON THE
DRAWINGS, AT NAVAL STATION NORFOLK, CRANEY ISLAND, AND THE
DEPERMING PIER. ALL BUILDING RADIO TRANSMITTERS MUST BE
COMPATIBLE WITH THE CENTRAL STATION AND REPORT GENERAL FIRE
ALARM, SUPERVISORY, AND TROUBLE SIGNALS TO THE CENTRAL
STATION. IF AN EXISTING FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL IS ONLY CAPABLE

ETC.
6. FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS MUST REMAIN OPERABLE.
7. ALL CONDUIT SHALL BE RUN CONCEALED WHERE POSSIBLE.
8. PAINT ALL FIRE ALARM JUNCTION BOXES AND COVERS RED IN
UNFINISHED AREAS. IN FINISHED AREAS WHERE CONDUIT CANNOT BE
CONCEALED, CONDUIT AND JUNCTION BOXES CAN BE PAINTED TO MATCH
THE ROOM FINISH, THE INSIDE COVER OF THE JUNCTION BOX MUST BE
IDENTIFIED AS "FIRE ALARM" AND THE CONDUIT MUST HAVE PAINTED RED
BANDS 3/4" INCH WIDE AT 20 FOOT INTERVALS AND ON BOTH SIDES OF A
FLOOR, WALL OR CEILING PENETRATION.
9. ALL EQUIPMENT AND DEVICES SHALL BE UL LISTED FOR USE IN FIRE
ALARM REPORTING SYSTEMS.
10. CONTACT CONTRACTING OFFICER AND FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR ANY FIRE
REPORTING SYSTEM OUTAGES.
11. CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROGRAMMING INDIVIDUAL BUILDING
TRANSMITTERS AND THE CENTRAL STATION.
12. UTILIZE EXISTING FIRE ALARM POWER CIRCUIT FOR NEW TRANSMITTERS.
