INSPECTON AND ACCEPTANCE TERMS: Supplies/services will be inspected by Quality Assurance personnel and accepted at job site. 3. DESCRIPTION/SOW: FIRE/SAFETY WARNING SYSTEM This project is to install and/or upgrade fire alarm system at the Fort Chaffee Maneuver Training Center (FCMTC). Each listed facility will have fire/smoke detection units, manual alarms, local enunciation/warning devices and system control panel. Specif ied facilities will also include CO2 detection/alarm. Vendors will be provided an opportunity to access site and perform evaluation prior to submitting a proposal. The vendor will evaluate the current system to identify which existing components are salvageable, reusable or upgradeable and will be retained. The vendor will ensure retained components are compatible with new system control panels to be installed. All detection and warning devices will, at a minimum, meet NFPA Code. The new system is to have the capacity for expansion without replacing equipment or components. Expansion capabilities are to include, but are not limited to, intrusion detection, access control, personnel alerting (mass notification,) and energy managemen t control. The new control panels will be low voltage, automatic, integrated, telecommunication-compatible units. Each control panel will, at a minimum: " Have the capacity to monitor 60 zones. " Have two class A or four class B (switch selectable) zones, and two auxiliary zones. Zones may be added in increments with zone expansion cards. " Panels are to have the capacity to plug in auxiliary output cards that can provide eight programmable outputs. The vendor will provide system operation/maintenance training for up to four (4) FCMTC personnel, troubleshooting/repair manuals and any access codes required for system maintenance. Vendor will not have proprietary locks or codes which force exclusive se rvice contracts for future servicing. System will be warranted one (1) year from contract completion for labor and equipment. General breakdown of requirements per building: " Remove existing fire alarm control panel, area smoke detectors and alarm bells. " Install new alarm control panel. Connect to existing electrical panel (120V a/c power). " Remove existing heat detectors and manual pull stations. Check for proper operation. These devices are to be reused if compatible, functional and replaced if defective. " Check all existing wiring for defects, may reuse if serviceable and in accordance with code. Repair/replace as required. Existing raceway/wiring is to be reused where possi ble. Where new wiring is required, it will consist of approved fire alarm cable. Cable will be run above dropped ceilings and other like areas where practical. If cable must be installed in exposed areas, it will be run in conduit raceway. Existing wir ing not reused will be disconnected from power source and abandoned in place. " Install new area smoke detectors. The existing interior bell type audible alarms are to be removed and replaced with horn/strobe audible alarms. Horns are to have a 3-tone temporal mode. Install components in existing locations if acceptable. Relocate if required to comply with NFPA code " Reinstall functional heat detectors and manual stations. All detectors, manual stations, panels and other existing components that are not usable or compatible are to be disposed of by the contractor. " Connect the existing duct detectors to the new system. (This presumes that the existing duct detectors have auxiliary unused alarm contacts available for connection). In buildings where no duct detectors exist or where existing duct detectors are incompa tible, install new. " Every device is to be tested for proper operation and reporting capabilities. Provide written test report. " Locally powered single station units are to be replaced with equal quantities and in same locations if acceptable. Relocate or install additional as required to comply with NFPA code. All components are to be powered by the new control panel and connecte d such that operation of the smoke detector will sound the local internal audible while operation of the associated heat detector will activate the fire alarm panel. Where no other alarm notification exists, the units will also be connected so that all int ernal audible devices will activate on general alarm. " Although all tested, functional, low voltage heat detectors and pull stations are to be reinstalled, existing panel operated smoke detectors are to be replaced with units compatible with the new fire alarm panels. This is required due to the extended age and voltage requirements of the existing units. All battery operated smoke detectors are to be replaced and wiring will be installed and connected to the new panel. " All initiation and notification circuits will be connected NFPA Style B as is consistent with existing systems. " All buildings listed in the Barracks section and all buildings listed in the Billeting section that have gas supplied heat are to have CO2 sensors installed. The CO2 sensors are to be mounted on the return duct with a remote probe implanted into the duct . The sensors are to be electronically controlled. A new circuit will be required for powering the sensor. Buildings that do not already have a smoke detector on the return duct will require a combination CO2 /smoke detector installed with accompanying ele ctric circuit.
