Many dampers are no longer required due to code plan changes these dampers are to be decommissioned with their internal components locked in the open position. Any decommissioned dampers must also have their control points removed from the fire alarm system.

Sizes and locations of existing dampers are based on the best available existing drawings; thus, it is the contractor s responsibility to field verify all relevant damper sizes and locations prior to ordering.

To meet the NEC code requirements, portions of the existing lighting protection system located currently in egress pathways will need to be relocated. Lightning protection down conductors located within the stairwells will be routed outside of stairwells as much as possible and the remaining portions within stairwells will be enclosed in a 2-hour rated enclosure. Any electrical devices enclosed by the new 2-hour rated enclosure shall be made accessible via access panel.

New access control components will be added to modify new doors. These components will connect to the nearest existing access control panel with available space throughout the building. Where applicable, door hardware will require a 120V connection which will be wired to the nearest available space in existing life safety panelboards.
