When overall monthly performance for a required service meets or exceeds the performance threshold, the rating is satisfactory. Only the original inspection results by the Government will be used to make this evaluation. Failure to meet the performance threshold for a required service means that service for the observation period is unsatisfactory. Each service will be evaluated during each observation period, which is generally one month.

5.2.2. NOTIFICATION TO CONDUCT SCHEDULED ITM. In addition, before initiating any scheduled test, the contractor shall ensure the Facility Manager notifies the building's occupants. The Facility Manager may observe the ITM tests and the sequence of operation. Installed fire alarm systems (detection), extinguishing systems (suppression & sprinkler), and monitoring systems located in areas that not readily accessible for safety considerations such as continuous process operations areas and areas that need equipment to reach system components that are congested are to be tested during scheduled operation shutdowns. The contractor is required to furnish their own equipment such as ladders, portable platforms, lifts or other equipment or tools necessary in order to properly and safely complete ITM of the systems. The tests shall be accomplished with minimal interruption to the occupying organization, and/or at intervals according to the UFC.

5.2.3. ITM INTERVAL & EXCEPTION. Note. The fire suppression system, fire sprinkler systems, and fire pumps do not require a Monthly ITM or an Annual ITM to be performed on this contract. The contractor shall perform 2, 5, 10 and 20 ITM requirements in accordance with the UFC 3-601-02. The Fire Alarm Annual requirement is included in this contract.

5.2.3.1. The kitchen hood exhaust fire suppression systems shall be serviced (ITM) at six (6) month intervals as stated in the UFC. The facility fire alarm systems and associated equipment shall be tested and serviced ITM at one (1) year intervals as stated in the UFC.

5.2.3.2. The contractor shall establish the required ITM interval for each fire protection system based on the age of the system and the information provided on TE-1. The contractor shall schedule the next appropriate ITM based on the previously performed ITM and the UFC provided guidance. Contractor shall perform the next interval ITM service due for each facility. For facilities with fire protection systems that were not ITM’d for some circumstance, contractor shall consider the facility age or fire protection system and/or the installation date as a base line to determine the next required ITM.

5.2.3.3. It is required that the contractor perform all ITM in a particular facility simultaneously. Examples: when performing ITM on a fire pump that serves a building, the fire pump shall be ITM’d at the same time the fire alarm panel/system is ITM’d to ensure the fire pump controllers are properly signaling the FACP and transmitting to the model D-21 fire management system control panel. Simulating conditions that cause inputs to the FACP are not authorized, the contractor must actually test the function, shorting or jumping circuits is not acceptable for a substitution of full functional testing. A facility must be tested as one life safety system, not as separate components (i.e. sprinkler system separate from fire pump separate from fire alarm). The fire alarm technician and crew must be on site with the fire sprinkler technician and the fire pump technician to ensure the fire protection features in the entire facility are working as required. Note that the NFPA 25 prohibits tripping/testing dry pipe sprinkler systems during winter months.

5.2.3.4. Work area Cleanliness. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure the work area is cleaned up after performing messy maintenance. Contractor caused debris, spills, soiling the area, ground erosion or other messes shall be completely cleaned up, remediated and repaired before departing the area.

5.2.3.5. In addition to the UFC requirements, while performing ITM on fire alarm systems, contractor shall test the releasing fire doors to actually set them in motion as part of the annual ITM of facilities. Inspecting doors released by fusible links is required as well as doors released by the fire alarm panel. Replacing fusible links when required is incidental to the overall ITM cost. The contractor is responsible for resetting the doors. All facilities with vertical transportation equipment (elevators) that have electrical machine rooms, control rooms, and control spaces outside the hoist way intended for full bodily entry, and walk-in machinery, shall have the fire extinguisher serviced annually and IAW NFPA 10, Chapter 7. There are approximately 113 elevators on JBLM

5.3. PLANNED WORK SCHEDULE. Once per month after the contract is awarded the contractor and COR shall review the current inspection, testing, and maintenance schedule for all systems in facilities maintained under this contract. After review, if deemed necessary, the contractor shall submit to the COR a revised work schedule for review.

5.4. DELIVERY SERVICE. Contractor shall deliver required services of this contract in accordance with the delivery plan and request approval from the Contracting Officer (KO) to modify or deviate from procedures.

5.5 SUMMARY OF MAINTENANCE. The contractor shall coordinate and schedule with both YTC and JBLM Directorate Emergency Services (DES) Fire Inspection Branch as appropriate, each facility occupant POC/manager, the PW Fire Alarm Shop, and the COR before proceeding with services to be performed under this contract.

5.6. SMOKE AND HEAT DETECTORS. On the fire alarm systems, the contractor shall maintain smoke and heat detectors as needed. Cleaning internally may be needed at the time of testing/certification due to a fault and shall be cleaned per the manufacturer requirements. Cleaning may result, in some cases, as instructed by the COR.

5.7. UPDATING COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN (CAD) OR AS BUILT FACILITY DRAWINGS.

There are occasionally facilities discovered with incomplete or not accurate as-built CAD drawings. These facilities’ drawings require the contractor to update the CAD drawing to support proper testing (ITM). The contractor shall update the CAD drawings depicting the actual as-built fire alarm system to reflect as close as can be ascertained the structure or fire alarm system configuration and associated equipment. The labor cost for CAD work shall be factored into the overall cost of the contract. After the award of this contract, the existing CAD as-built drawings for most facilities will be provided to the contractor electronically. Historically, the contractor labor time associated with updating drawings is on average 1.5-2.0 hours per facility. If no CAD drawings exist, the contractor shall notify the COR.

5.8. SYSTEMS BATTERIES. Generally, the basic batteries used at JBLM fire alarm systems are 7/8AH, 12AH, 18AH, 26AH, 35AH, 55AH, 79AH, and 105AH batteries. This is not a complete list of batteries to be used for this contract. The Newer JBLM fire alarm systems may have different size or type batteries installed. The labor associated with replacing batteries is incidental to and shall be factored into the overall cost of the appropriate ITM cost.
