Alarm enclosures with a tamper switch(es). Refer to Tamper Switches below.

Enclosures are to be formed and assembled to be sturdy and rigid. These include:

i. Consoles

ii. Annunciator housings

iii. Power supply enclosures

iv. Sensor control and terminal cabinets

v. Control units

vi. Wiring gutters

vii. Other component housings

e) Tamper Switches

Corrosion-resistant tamper switches are required for the following intrusion detection system equipment with hinged doors or removable covers that contain open circuits:

Enclosures Cabinets Housings

Boxes Raceways Fittings Sensors

Tamper switches are to initiate an alarm signal when the door or cover is moved as little as 6 mm from the normally closed position. Mechanically mount tamper switches to maximize defeat time when enclosure covers are opened or removed.

One second is the minimum amount of time required to depress or defeat the tamper switch after opening or removing the cover. Enclosure and tamper switch must prevent direct line of sight to internal components and prevent switch or circuit tampering. Conceal mounting hardware so switch cannot be observed from enclosure exterior. Tamper switches on doors which are opened to make normal maintenance adjustments to the system and to service power supplies must [not] have a maintenance position. [Provide two position tamper switches].

Tamper Switch Performance Requirements

Tamper switches are to be:

i. Inaccessible until switch is activated.

ii. Under electrical supervision at all times, irrespective of the protection mode in which the circuit is operating.

iii. Annunciated to be clearly distinguishable from intrusion detection alarms and exempt from being disarmed, shunted, or silenced.

iv. Spring-loaded and held in the closed position by the door, or cover protected.

v. Wired to break the circuit when the door or cover is disturbed.

vi. Wired so that each sensor and device is annunciated [individually] [by zone] at the central reporting processor.

4. Products

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA)…
