"21-0019 Asbestos Inspection Report" has been provided.

144 3/17/2025 Bid Form

On the bid form, it has line items for additional asbestos at 3,000 SF and lead at 1,000 SF but doesn't identify what kind. Flooring is cheaper than fireproofing, for example.

"21-0019 Asbestos Inspection Report" has been provided.

145 3/17/2025

The bid documents have a line item that says to include 3000 sqft of asbestos and lead at 1000s sqft.

Fire alarm demolition note on drawing A-101 requires existing fire alarm system to be tested “before proceeding with any work related to this project”. Please clarify required scope of this preliminary testing.

Testing a Simplex 4010 Fire Alarm System requires following proper procedures to ensure safety and compliance with NFPA 72 standards. Here’s a step-by-step guide to performing a basic system test:

1. Notify Authorities & Building Occupants:

Inform the monitoring station and local fire department (if system is monitored) to avoid false alarms. Notify building occupants of the test to prevent panic.

2. Access the Simplex 4010 Control Panel:

Open the fire alarm control panel (FACP) using the access key.

Enter the authorized user password if prompted.

3. Initiate the Test Mode: Navigate to System Test Mode in the menu. This mode prevents alarms from triggering external monitoring stations but still allows system function testing.

4. Test Notification Appliances (Alarms & Strobes): Activate a manual pull station to verify proper alarm activation. Check that strobes flash and horns/speakers sound correctly. Reset the pull station after activation.

5. Test Smoke & Heat Detectors: Use a canned smoke tester for smoke detectors. Use a heat gun (not an open flame) for heat detectors.

Confirm that each detector triggers the alarm and is displayed on the panel.

6. Verify System Communication & Signals: Check that the panel receives and displays each alarm signal correctly. If connected to a monitoring station, confirm the signal was received.

7. Reset the System:

Once testing is complete, reset each activated device (e.g., smoke detectors, pull stations): On the 4010 panel, press the “System Reset” button to clear alarms and restore normal operation.

8. Log the Test & Restore Normal Operation: Record the test results, including device activations and any issues found.

Notify the monitoring station and building personnel that the system is back in normal operation.
