A: Please refer to drawing sheet FA-601 for the sequence of operations.

15. Q: The mechanical Bid drawing indicate “FD” (fire dampers) to be installed in the duct work passing into the clean agent protected areas.

Who is providing the 120VAC energized open, spring closed operators?

A: Fire/Smoke dampers are a part of the overall fire suppression system and installation shall be coordinated with the Electrical and HVAC contractors per the drawing and specifications.
