5. The existing building has horn/strobes, please confirm that speaker/strobes will NOT be required for this project.

Response:

A Fire Protection Engineer will determine the project's necessary upgrades and designs per recent NFPA codes: If the existing horn/strobes are compliant and adequate for the building’s use and are compliant with the new upgraded fire alarm system then no, they will not be required.

6. The existing building horn/strobes are not synchronized and do not have the circuiting for synchronization. Please advise if these notification appliance will need to be synchronized per current codes.

A Fire Protection Engineer will determine the project's necessary upgrades and designs per recent NFPA codes: If this is a code requirement to bring the current fire alarm system up to code then, yes.

14. The existing fire alarm system is reporting to a King Fisher Panel that has one trouble.

Please confirm troubleshooting/repair/replacement of the transmitter and interface panel is outside the scope of work.

DPW technicians will troubleshoot and repair any faults from the King Fisher Panel

15. Will a Quality Control Fire Protection Engineer be required for this Project?

Yes. Refer to PWS section 13 Safety Requirements.

16. Please confirm Training requirements for the fire alarm system.

The contractor should train the DPW personnel to test/operate the system.

Refer to PWS section 3.6 Provide Training and Turnover.

17. Locations of the existing hood fire protection system inferfaces were not cleasry marked in the field. Please confirm locations.

Response:

We do not service or test hood suppression systems. Kinetix Fire & Life Safety handles them. From field observations, these systems only operate mechanically via fusible links or manual pull stations. A microswitch then activates the building’s fire alarm. Consequently, we are unaware of any other interfaces. Please contact Kinetix for more information.

18. Please provide annual maintenance reports for the fire alarm system, fire sprinkler system and hood fire suppression systems.

There are no current maintenance reports on hand.

19. The existing King Fisher Interface Panel does not have a separate signal for duct smoke detectors and does not appear to have the electronic components to add another signal circuit.

The existing building may have duct smoke detectors that will need to tie into the new fire alarm system. Please advise if the duct smoke detectors would go under the existing smoke detector signal on the panel.

Duct detectors can be on the same circuit as the existing smoke detector circuit on the King Fisher panel. FPE determination will be considered.

20. Under line item 005 – who is considered the Authority Having Jurisdiction for this project?

Leo Pascua and Patrick Allen 808-471-8016/8001 – Fed Fire
